Season 6 of “Rookie Blue” has premiered in its home country in May on Global TV network and just debuted on ABC in the US on June 25.
However, fans should know that the show’s Season 6 was originally produced as the second half of a 22-episode Season 5 but was later on repackaged and re-branded as the sixth season of the series.
What this means is that the stars of the show have not done any additional filming for Season 6 as what is being shown both in Canada and the US are episodes that have already been shot for Season 5 last year.
In other words, the show would have been good only for Season 5 if the producers did not divide its 22-episode roster into two and re-brand the second half as Season 6.
With the lack of news regarding the show’s renewal for Season 7, and a Season 6 that was actually a spillover from Season 5, fans of the show are already speculating that the sixth season may actually be “Rookie Blue’s” last.
Christon Shipton, Shaw Media senior vice president, and chief creative officer revealed in an interview recently that the show’s future was still under discussions internally. She added that they have been seriously working hard on it, but it’s just unfortunate that nothing was happening thus far.
