Two veteran ABC shows have locked in their places on the 2026-27 schedule.
The network has renewed dramas The Rookie and Will Trent for next season. The pickups ensure a ninth season for The Rookie, starring Nathan Fillion, and a fifth season for Will Trent, which stars Ramón Rodriguez.
The renewals don’t come as a big surprise, as both shows have performed well for ABC. With a week of cross-platform viewing (primarily on Hulu), The Rookie and Will Trent each average more than 8 million viewers per episode, and both shows rank in the top 15 network entertainment series among adults 18-49. The Rookie in particular gets a huge boost to its 18-49 rating from streaming, often seeing a sixfold increase over its initial on-air total.
