Uh-oh, it sounds like The Rookie ‘s #Chenford might not be the only relationship to worry about when Season 7 of the light ABC procedural rolls around… sometime in 2025.
Speaking with TVLine’s Keisha Hatchett on Saturday night at Entertainment Weekly ‘s annual Comic-Con party in San Diego, Alyssa Diaz (who plays Angela Lopez) was quick to out herself as a #Chenford ‘shipper by wondering aloud, “I want to see what happens with Lucy and Tim” in Season 7, especially given how Chen saved estranged beau Bradford’s life during a truck chase.
All told in the TVLine video above, Diaz and co-stars Mekia Cox (who plays Nyla Harper) and Melissa O’Neil (Lucy Chen) shared that Season 7 of The Rookie will “delve into relationships a lot more” — though that will include “some bumpy roads,” Diaz warned.
The ladies also said that Season 7 will spend more time at home with the officers and detectives of the LAPD’s Mid-Wilshire Division. “We’re going to see everybody’s houses, see how the family life is going,” said O’Neil.

Showrunner Alexi Hawley previously told TVLine that, coming out of a lean-and-mean, strikes-shortened Season 6 and looking ahead to an 18-episode Season 7, “I do think we’ll go back to being more of a standalone show with serialized elements, because it’s going to be a longer season and I think people really do like that.
“Also, there are the many different ways we tell stories — whether it’s the big event-type episodes, the more rom-com episodes, or with a big guest star,” he said, “so it’ll be fun to go back to that.”
The Rookie closed out last season with a final that brought back several characters from the series’ spinoff, The Rookie: Feds . But Cox, Diaz and O’Neil shared that, when working Comic-Con autograph lines, they heard fans clamoring for an offshoot about badass moms Nyla and Angela.
“It’s called Cop Moms ,” Cox proposed, after which Diaz served up a winning tagline: “It’s about them being moms, being cops — which one is more dangerous?!”
