ABC Renews Rookie Blue for Fourth Season

Fans of the ABC crime drama Rookie Blue won't have to wait until the end of the third season, which is currently airing, to find out if the series will get a fourth season or not.

After just three episodes, ABC preemptively announced today that the series has been renewed. The fourth season is currently in development and will move into production in Toronto later this summer.

Rookie Blue provides a candid look at the personal and professional lives of five rookie cops as they navigate their first years on the beat. Now in their third year on the job, these rookies have learned to overcome the sophomore curse — that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. With a little more experience under their belts, they're starting to realize that not only is the uniform shaping their professional identity, but it has also started to mold them as people. How can they stay true to themselves — maintaining their individuality and compassion — along the way? This year, the rookies of 15 Division are going to have to learn to be careful what they wish for — and they are going to learn it the hard way.

Rookie Blue currently airs on Thursdays on ABC.
