“The Rookie” TV series is scheduled to come back with season 8 on Tuesday, January 6, 2026 at 10 p.m. ET on ABC in the U.S. New episodes are set to air weekly on Tuesday nights and be available to stream on Hulu after broadcast.

Quick Scoop

  • Season 8 premiere date (U.S.): January 6, 2026.
  • Time slot: 10 p.m. ET on ABC, following other Tuesday dramas on the network.
  • Streaming: Episodes are expected to stream on Hulu after airing on ABC.
  • Current storyline tease: The new season sends John Nolan and the team into more international, high‑stakes cases, including an arc set in Prague with Interpol and the FBI.

If you’re outside the U.S.

  • The U.K. usually gets new seasons after the U.S. run finishes, such as season 7 arriving there in June 2025 following its May ABC finale, so a similar delay is likely for season 8.
  • Past seasons have appeared on Sky Witness and NOW in the U.K., and earlier seasons remain available via Disney+ in some regions, though availability varies by country.
