Fans of The Rookie were eagerly awaiting the new episode of Season 7. But this week, they’ll have to wait a little longer. The popular ABC series is taking a brief hiatus. It has left viewers wondering why there’s no new episode and when they can expect the show to return.
Here’s a breakdown of the release details for The Rookie Season 7, episode 9.
Why The Rookie Season 7 Episode 9 is not releasing this week
The Rookie Season 7 is on its first break of the season. The reason behind it is tied to real-world events.
On Tuesday, March 4, ABC is going to take the night off to air the Presidential Address to the Joint Session of Congress, which begins at 9 p.m. ET. This means no new episode of The Rookie or its sister show, Will Trent, will air this week.
Earlier in the season, ABC chose to premiere the show in early January, which inevitably led to at least one midseason break. Despite hopes for a seamless run, the network’s scheduling decisions have resulted in this short pause.
Here’s when the rest of The Rookie Season 7 Episodes will come out
The good news is that the break is short-lived, and fans won’t have to wait long for the next episode. ABC has already released a promo for The Rookie Season 7, Episode 9, titled “The Kiss,” confirming that the show will return on Tuesday, March 11. The upcoming episode promises to deliver high-stakes drama as Nyla Harper faces a personal and professional crisis.
As for the rest of the season, ABC plans to air new episodes weekly, with the finale likely scheduled for mid-May. While there may be one more break before the season ends, the network is working to keep the interruptions to a minimum.
