Sign in to edit

Season 5 of The Rookie was announced as a renewal on March 30, 2022; the season premiered on September 25, 2022, and concluded on May 2, 2023.

Summary[]

In season 5, John Nolan is the recipient of a "golden ticket" due to his heroic actions in the season 4 finale, and as a result he fulfills his goal of becoming a training officer. His first rookie, Celina Juarez, presents some challenges to Nolan's methods of training, but they eventually bond in spite of those challenges. Nyla Harper and her husband James Murray move into a new house, and Harper gives birth to their daughter Leah, while Angela Lopez finds herself pregnant again. Bradford and Chen finally come together both as a couple and as fellow officers, as Tim transfers to the LAPD Metro Division. Wesley Evers deals with the fallout from his involvement with Elijah Stone, who ends up incarcerated.

At the end of season 5, Aaron Thorsen lies in hospital in critical condition after being attacked by a gang led by a man with a vendetta against the police. In the end, an unnamed man gloats over using the gang as a diversion for his nefarious plot, which remains undisclosed.
