If you know any hardcore Rookie Blue fans, prepare for a rough few days when they find out the show won’t be coming back for a seventh season, with the announcement coming today that the just-aired sixth season will be the Canadian cop show’s last.
“The success of Rookie Blue is a testament not only to the extremely talented team of Ilana Frank, Tassie Cameron, David Wellington and studio Entertainment One (eOne), but the electrifying cast that has resonated with legions of fans that have followed the show since Season One,” said Christine Shipton, Senior Vice President and Chief Creative Officer, Shaw Media, in the announcement. “After six seasons the series reached a natural conclusion and this season’s finale was the perfect wrap up for both our rookies and for fans, especially with the marriage of our favourite couple, Sam and Andy.”
