Which Stars of ‘The Rookie’ Are — And Aren’t — Returning for Season 8?

Fans must wait until 2026 for an all-new season of The Rookie — but Us Weekly already knows which cast members are, and aren’t, returning. Showrunner Alexi Hawley exclusively confirmed to Us in May that season 8 of the ABC series will feature both Oscar Hutchinson (Matthew Glave) and Monica Stevens (Bridget Regan) as villains. “It’s not the last we’re gonna see [of] him,” Hawley said of Oscar, who was able to escape police capture during the season 7 finale, but not with the stolen diamonds he acquired. “I think we’re heading for … a bit of an end game there, or at least the end of a chapter.”
