Jones, Melissa O’Neil, Eric Winter, Mekia Cox, Shawn Ashmore, Jenna Dewan, Tru Valentino and Lisseth Chavez. The newbie Season 7 was renewed in April, a month before the Season 6 finale.

What This Means for Rookie Season 7
The program’s return date could potentially be identified
If the Newbie star is right about January premiere, it seems it is highly likely to debut as early as possible in the month. With the exception of Season 1, which ended in April, every season of the show thus far has aired its finale in mid-May, usually on the 15th or 16th, with the most recent end date being May 21st. , the 10-episode Season 6 (which premiered in February 2024), and the 14-episode Season 3 (which premiered in January 2021), so it seems likely that this Season 7 will do the same.
Assuming it airs on Tuesdays and ends in May, the fact that Season 7 has received an 18-episode order gives it a much more limited amount of time in which it can air. There are only 20 Tuesdays between the start of the year and Tuesday, May 20th. Considering the fact that both Seasons 6 and 3 took several weeks off in March, leaving room for a hiatus similar to those The newbie seasons would likely mean Season 7 will premiere on January 7, 2024which is the first Tuesday of the year.
