The streaming service Netflix currently only offers its subscribers the first four seasons of the US series The Rookie. When will seasons 5 and 6 finally follow suit? Even season 7 is already running.
Since 2018, Nathan Fillion has been delighting millions of fans of the US series The Rookie as John Nolan. After all, he brings a good sense of humor with him – and his ups and downs as a rookie in the Los Angeles police force make for a varied plot. This is how The Rookie manages a proud 7.3 out of 10 points on 8kstreaming.
There are now 6 full seasons and the 7th season of The Rookie is already running, both in the US and in Germany on WOW. In this country, most fans probably watch the largest streaming service Netflix. However, only 4 seasons are in the catalog there – and have been for well over a year. Many are therefore wondering when at least the 5th season of The Rookie will finally come to the streamer.
When will The Rookie season 5 and season 6 finally be coming to Netflix?
The bitter answer for many fans is that there is currently no official start date for season 5 and the shortened season 6 of The Rookie on Netflix. We also originally assumed that season 5 would be available on Netflix in the summer of 2024 – since it was also in 2023. Season 4 arrived on Netflix back in July. However, there was no new season at all last year. At the moment, it is unclear whether seasons 5 and 6 will come to Netflix at all.
Where can I stream The Rookie seasons 5, 6 and 7 already?
Season 5 is now available on a number of other streaming services, while Netflix users are still waiting. Season 5 of The Rookie is available in Germany in the ZDF media library, on WOW* and on Disney+* by subscription.
Season 6 is also available on WOW and even on Disney+ by subscription. It recently ended on ZDFneo and is therefore already complete and free to stream in the ZDF media library.
Season 7 did not start in the US until January 2025, but it is already available to stream weekly on WOW here. We have summarized everything you need to know about the current season 7 of The Rookie for you.
So geht’s in Staffel 5 von The Rookie weiter
But what do the two most recent seasons actually deal with? In season 5, John Nolan is no longer a rookie himself and takes on the role of an instructor. His unit gets a confident new addition in Celina, whose unconventional methods test the group. In the first episode, Nolan also comes face to face with his old nemesis, the serial killer Rosalind, who still has plans for him.
