Starting over isn't easy, especially for small-town guy John Nolan who, after a life-altering incident, is pursuing his dream of being an LAPD officer. As the force's oldest rookie, he’s met with skepticism from some higher-ups who see him as just a walking midlife crisis.

The Rookie Season 8 launches with its most ambitious storyline yet, sending John Nolan and the team on a high-stakes international assignment in Prague before pulling them back into the evolving dangers of life in the LAPD. At home, the unit faces a shifting landscape of political pressure, unresolved threats, and returning adversaries — including hints that corrupt lawyer Monica Stevens may not be out of the picture for long.
