CASTING: Tru Valentino Out at 'The Rookie'

It looks like there's a significant shift happening with The Rookie. Sergeant Aaron Thorsen's departure from the mid-Wilshire division and Tru Valentino's exit from the show are notable changes. Valentino's character, who transitioned from a privileged TikTok star to a dedicated police officer, added a unique dynamic to the series. His absence from the Comic-Con panel might have hinted at his departure, but the confirmation from Deadline solidifies it.

With two new rookies joining The Rookie in season 7, it sounds like the show is bringing in fresh dynamics and character developments. Deric Augustine's character, Miles, is a Texas transfer, which could introduce new perspectives and experiences from another part of the country. On the other hand, Patrick Keleher's Seth, who is described as someone not always quick and decisive, could add an interesting layer of growth and challenge to the team.

The midseason premiere will give fans something to look forward to, especially with these new additions shaking things up. It will be intriguing to see how these characters integrate into the existing team and what new storylines emerge from their interactions.

With these changes, it will be interesting to see how the show evolves in the upcoming season. How do you think these developments will impact the storyline?
