Right now, The Rookie Season 8 does not have an official streaming home in Australia yet, but it is airing in the US on ABC and next‑day on Hulu, with Australian availability expected later on 7plus.

Where you can (and can’t yet) watch it in Australia

  • Season 8 is airing in the US on ABC and is available the following day on Hulu as an on‑demand stream.
  • Current guides indicate that the new season is expected to come to 7plus in Australia, but it does not have a confirmed Australian release date yet and is not listed as available to stream locally.
  • Streaming aggregators tracking availability show no active streaming option for Season 8 in Australia at this time, only in the US and a few other regions.

Legal options if you’re in Australia

Until 7plus (or another Aussie service) picks up Season 8:

  1. Wait for local release
    • Past seasons of The Rookie have been available on 7plus in Australia, and current coverage suggests Season 8 is expected to arrive there once regional rights and scheduling are set.
  1. Watch via US services while abroad (with the right rights)
    • If you are physically in the US (for travel, etc.), you can watch live on ABC or stream on Hulu the next day, provided you have a valid subscription or pay‑TV login.

About VPN and geo‑blocked streaming

Many blogs talk about using VPNs to access US platforms like Hulu from Australia, but access must comply with each platform’s terms of service and local law. Always check the streaming service’s rules and your local regulations before trying to view geo‑restricted content this way.

TL;DR: At the moment there is no fully launched, legal streaming option for The Rookie Season 8 inside Australia; it is on ABC/Hulu in the US and is expected to arrive later on 7plus locally, but with no firm Aussie date yet.
