The Rookie: Alexi Hawley Teases 100th Episode; TCA Press Event Images

The Rookie series creator Alexi Hawley teased what viewers can expect from the 100th episode; TCA 2024 Winter Press Event images released.

With only a little more than a week to go until ABC & series creator Alexi Hawley's Nathan Fillion, Eric Winter & Melissa O'Neil-starring The Rookie returns for its sixth season, Hawley & the cast had a chance to preview the season and more during this weekend's Television Critics Association (TCA) 2024 Winter Press Event. But before we pass along an image gallery from the event, Hawley had a little something to say about this season's milestone. As exciting as the season return will be on Feb. 20th, it's the second episode that will be getting a ton of attention – the show's 100th episode.

With Nolan (Fillion) & Bailey's (Jenna Dewan) wedding day serving as the episode's "anchor,"  viewers can expect a little comedy mixed in with the romance. "It was really important to us to do an episode that felt joyful and celebrated our characters," Hawley shared. "We've done weddings before on the show – some which have gone horribly wrong – so I thought it was important to tell what was a really fun story, for the most part." But that doesn't mean there won't be some drama impacting a familiar face to shift the tone – with Hawley adding, "I really wanted it to be everything we do, tonally."
