Episodes

Production

Development

On May 14, 2021, ABC renewed the series for a fourth season, which premiered on September 26, 2021.

Casting

Tru Valentino joined the cast for the season as Aaron Thorsen. Jenna Dewan was promoted to series regular.

Filming

Following the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on October 21, 2021, on the set of the film Rust, live weapons were banned from The Rookie while filming. Prior to the ban, the series occasionally used quarter or half rounds on large outdoor set pieces. Showrunner Alexi Hawley stated that "any risk is too much risk" and explained that, going forward, only airsoft guns would be used, with muzzle flashes being added in post production using computer-generated imagery.
