Season 5 of The Rookie ended on a couple of cliffhangers again within the spring, however now there’s an enormous query concerning the upcoming sixth season that has nothing to do with whether or not Thorsen will get well and what the dangerous guys have deliberate for Los Angeles. Star Nathan Fillion has reportedly been forged to play Inexperienced Lantern Man Gardner within the highly-anticipated Superman: Legacy. Whereas that’s nice information for followers of the actor who’ve been desirous to see him as a Inexperienced Lantern in live-action after voicing one in numerous animated films, followers of The Rookie might have cause to fret about John Nolan’s screentime in Season 6.
Nathan Fillion hasn’t commented by some means about Superman: Legacy on the time of writing, though he did categorical his pleasure concerning the sixth season when The Rookie was renewed. So, for now, let’s take a look at what we do know to date about each The Rookie and the upcoming Man of Metal film to see what we will deduce about Season 6.
The Rookie Season 6 Is Scheduled For 2024
Although ABC introduced a renewal for The Rookie Season 6 early within the spring season, the community revealed simply weeks later that the present was being pushed again to a midseason relatively than fall premiere. ABC has as an alternative stuffed its fall lineup with unscripted choices because of the WGA writers strike, which continues to be ongoing. The earliest we might be able to hope for to see payoff on the Season 5 finale cliffhangers is early 2024, which may very well be sophisticated by the information about Nathan Fillion.
Superman: Legacy Begins Manufacturing In Early 2024
Though confirmed Superman: Legacy particulars are comparatively few and much between at this level, director James Gunn revealed in a Wired interview that the movie would begin taking pictures in January. If Nathan Fillion’s Man Gardner has a major function within the movie, then it’s attainable he received’t be accessible for full-time collection common duties on The Rookie. It’s price noting that Man Gardner just isn’t one of many heroes slated to be a lead in Max’s Lanterns TV collection, so signing on to play a Inexperienced Lantern for Superman: Legacy doesn’t imply Fillion signing on to star in a present.
The Rookie Has A Robust Ensemble
If Superman: Legacy does certainly have a large enough function for Nathan Fillion that he has to step away from his normal workload on The Rookie, the ABC present has a powerful ensemble surrounding John Nolan. Different characters might merely step into the highlight extra usually whereas Nolan was MIA for some cause. I do know Chenford followers wouldn’t complain about seeing extra of Tim and Lucy, for instance!
Plus, the cliffhanger on the finish of Season 5 didn’t arrange an enormous new storyline for Nolan particularly, so I for one am not too nervous about the way forward for the present, whether or not or not we’ll get much less of Fillion throughout Season 6. On the time of writing, there’s no affirmation that enjoying a superhero would require the star to step away from John Nolan, so we will sadly solely wait and see.
Actually, if there’s something concerning the Rookie universe to fret about, I might say that it’s the truth that The Rookie: Feds hasn’t but been renewed even months after the Season 1 finale, though star Niecy Nash was feeling good about it again in June. For now, followers can all the time spend summer season hiatus revisiting each reveals, with The Rookie and The Rookie: Feds accessible streaming with a Hulu subscription.
