The Rookie viewership and cast speculation

Overview

The television series ‘The Rookie’ has experienced low viewership ratings following its return to the French broadcaster M6. The season 8 premiere on August 29, 2026, drew 751,000 viewers, resulting in a 4.8% market share and placing the program fifth among national broadcasters.

Amidst these ratings challenges, actress Jenna Dewan has addressed speculation regarding her potential departure from the series. Following her casting in the 35th edition of ‘Dancing with the Stars’, fans questioned if she would exit her role as Bailey Nune. Dewan confirmed she will remain with ‘The Rookie’, stating, “I am doing both at the same time,” and noted that because both programs are ABC originals, the productions are coordinating to manage her schedule.
