“Rookie Blue” has been a very successful show throughout its seasons, and the storyline lately got a bit dramatic – perhaps a bit too much for some fans’ liking, although the writers did make sure to conclude everything in this season in a way that pleased as many people as possible. However, fans should probably not be so quick to enjoy the latest developments, because currently there are some rumors going around that the show won’t be coming back for a seventh season.
These rumors are actually nothing new and the show has been surrounded with speculation about a possible cancellation after season 6 for some time now, and this was further fueled by claims by Tassie Cameron that the producers wanted to make the most from the season 6 finale “in case” the show ends up getting canceled after that.
In any case, she admitted that this was the last episode for her as a showrunner, at least for this particular production, and she seems to already be looking forward to her next projects. For now though, she’s still talking about “Rookie Blue” and discussing how the show’s sixth season ended, and it looks like pretty much everyone on the team behind the production is as happy as the fans themselves with how it turned out.
Something that was revealed by Cameron was the fact that Sam and Andy were always planned to have a happy ending to their story from the very beginning, and this was something fans should have never been worried about. Indeed, there was some speculation in the community that the writers might be preparing a nasty surprise for the coupe with a darker plot twist at the end of the show, but in the end that wasn’t the case and everything worked out nicely. We didn’t see Marlo interfering with the event, and that was the biggest fear among the show’s fans in the first place.
In the end, many critics were positive towards the season finale and claimed that the writers got pretty much everything right in the way they approached it. Some are wondering if we’re going to see Nick again – provided that the show comes back for a new season – and this is one of the hottest topics among the show’s fans right now. The character had a bit of a polarizing effect on the community, as some people loved him while others weren’t that fond of having him around for some reason. However, he was seen as a mostly positive asset to the cast.
What’s in store for the show now that season 6 is over? Speculation about a possible season 7 is still running wild in the community but nobody seems to know for sure what the producers are planning for their fans. It’s also worth noting that this season may have been taken well by the fans themselves, but the show’s actual ratings ended up lower than anticipated and this could contribute to its ultimate cancellation.
Indeed, reports indicate that not only was this season weak as a whole in terms of ratings, but one of the last episodes in particular ended up performing more poorly than expected and the network hasn’t been too happy to keep the production around for that reason. No matter how many people like the show and appreciate it, in the end what matters most are its ratings and if it doesn’t perform well enough in this regard, there’s nothing that can be done to save it.
