‘The Rookie’ Just Bumped This Fan-Favorite Up to Series Regular Ahead of Season 8

With only a few episodes remaining in Season 7, The Rookie just got a major update. Deadline reports that Deric Augustine, who made his debut as Miles Penn in the series earlier this year, has been upped to a series regular. Penn is one of this season’s rookies, even though he’s a transfer from Texas with several years of experience as a police officer. The most recent episode of The Rookie saw anti-LAPD billboards emerge across the city. As the team searches for who’s responsible, a car bombing prompts another investigation, and tonight’s episode will follow documentary filmmakers interviewing the LAPD on a complicated missing person case connected to John (Nathan Fillion). The Rookie will conclude with its season finale in May after 18 episodes.
