Who Left The Rookie in Season 7 & Which Actors Joined the Cast?

by

As a devoted fan of The Rookie since its inception, I must admit that I was taken aback by the news of Tru Valentino’s departure from the show. Having followed his character Aaron Thorsen throughout Seasons 4-6, his absence will undoubtedly leave a void in the Mid-Wilshire Precinct. Yet, as a fan who has witnessed many ups and downs in TV series, I’ve learned to embrace change and remain hopeful for a possible future return.

On the brighter side, the addition of Deric Augustine, Patrick Keleher, and Ivan Hernandez to The Rookie Season 7 cast brings a fresh wave of excitement. Deric’s character Miles, an LAPD cop with two-year veteran experience yet still considered a rookie, seems intriguing, while Patrick’s new rookie character Seth struggling with quick and decisive action adds a touch of relatability for us viewers. Ivan Hernandez’s Detective Graham, who will serve as a personal obstacle to Shawn Ashmore’s Wesley Evers, promises to bring an engaging dynamic to the series.

All in all, while I am sad to see Tru Valentino go, I am eagerly looking forward to welcoming Deric, Patrick, and Ivan to The Rookie family. And who knows, perhaps Aaron Thorsen will pop back up in the Mid-Wilshire Precinct one day – maybe even during a bank robbery! After all, you never know what twists and turns Alexi Hawley has up his sleeve for this gripping police drama.

As the seventh season of The Rookie is set to debut soon, fans are curious about who departed from the cast and under what circumstances, as well as who has joined the show. Developed by Alexi Hawley, this series centers around John Nolan, portrayed by Nathan Fillion, a man from Pennsylvania’s small towns who moves to Los Angeles and joins the LAPD. His story unfolds nine months after he assists authorities in foiling a bank robbery in his hometown of Foxburg.

Here is who left and who joined The Rookie’s cast in Season 7.

Who left The Rookie’s cast in Season 7 and why?

Actor Tru Valentino, known for portraying Aaron Thorsen in multiple episodes of The Rookie during its fourth season and as a main character throughout seasons five and six, will not reprise his role in season seven.

As someone who has been following Valentino’s career closely over the years, I find it intriguing that he chose to address his absence from Season 7 of the show through Instagram stories. While he didn’t provide a specific explanation for his departure, his cryptic statement about potentially returning to the Mid-Wilshire Precinct has me speculating about what the future may hold for him on the show.

Given Valentino’s extensive experience in law enforcement and his charismatic presence on screen, I have no doubt that he could reappear at any moment, adding depth and excitement to the series once again. It will be interesting to see if his return materializes and how it impacts the rest of the team. In the meantime, I’ll continue to keep a close eye on Valentino’s social media for any updates or hints about his potential comeback.

According to an interview with Screenrant, series maker Alexi Hawley expressed his desire for actor Valentino to return to the show in some form in the future. Hawley explained that Valentino’s departure was a result of the present creative path chosen by the series.

Who joined The Rookie Season 7’s cast?

Three new actors, Deric Augustine, Patrick Keleher, and Ivan Hernandez, have been included in the cast for The Rookie’s seventh season.

Deric Augustine takes on the character of Miles, a Los Angeles Police Department officer who moved over from Texas and is still considered a novice, even with his two years of service under his belt. Augustine, recognized for his performances in series such as All American, Shameless, and others, will be portraying this role.

In this role, Patrick Keleher will embody the character Seth, who initially appears as an exemplary policeman. However, he finds himself grappling with situations that require swift and definitive actions, a challenge for him. This upcoming series will mark Keleher’s entrance into television acting.

Ivan Hernandez, recognized for his portrayal as Carrie Bradshaw’s love interest in And Just Like That…, has been cast as Detective Graham. As revealed by showrunner Alexi Hawley in a TVLine interview, Detective Graham will serve as a “challenge” to Shawn Ashmore’s character Wesley Evers, but in an engaging and entertaining manner.
