ABC should like the numbers for the return of Showrunner Alexi Hawley's Nathan Fillion, Eric Winter, and Melissa O'Neil-starring The Rookie.
Normally, our updates regarding ABC and series creator and showrunner Alexi Hawley's Nathan Fillion, Eric Winter, and Melissa O'Neil-starring The Rookie have to do with what's to come this season. But for this go-around, we thought you might want to know how S07E01: "The Shot" did viewership-wise after seven days. First things first, ABC is doing pretty damn well on Tuesday nights - and even better when the Hulu factor comes into play. Deadline Hollywood offered an exclusive breakdown of how High Potential and Will Trent performed- and in terms of The Rookie? The Season 7 return episode had a live + same-day viewing number of 3.4 million - with that number jumping to 9.16 million after live + seven days. Though that's a lower figure than what last season's return episode scored, DH's report adds that "the series seems to be performing better than ever among adults 18-49."
Alexi Hawley is the series creator, writer, and executive producer. Mark Gordon, Nathan Fillion, Michelle Chapman, Jon Steinberg, Bill Norcross, Bill Roe, and Brynn Malone are executive producers of the series. Entertainment One (eOne) is the lead studio on The Rookie, a co-production with ABC Signature.
