The Rookie: Nathan Fillion stars in trailer for season five
Series guest star Annie Wersching will be making her long-awaited return to The Rookie this month, having failed to make an appearance throughout the entire fourth season and most of season three. John Nolan (played by Nathan Fillion) and the NYPD will have their work cut out for them when Rosalind Dyer escapes to wreak more havoc, and fans of the ABC drama can’t wait for the carnage to begin.

The Rookie could have a significant body count by the end of its fifth season.
New episodes are set to begin later this month, and a new teaser trailer has confirmed the return of a major recurring villain.
Rosalind already has a dark history with a number of cops, including corrupt detective Nick Armstrong (Harold Perrineau) and Lucy Chen (Melissa O'Neil), who nearly became another one of her victims.
It now appears she’ll escape from her incarceration, and could very well go after another officer of the law.

The voiceover in the new trailer confirms: “Rosalind Dyer, a female serial killer, is going to complicate all of our lives.”
John and Rosalind curtly greet each other, before Rosalind promises: “People are gonna die. And you won’t be able to save them.”
The trailer then flashes several Rookie regulars - Rosalind’s potential victims - before the killer is seen getting her handcuffs removed and a female scream cries out.
In the next scene, John races through a corridor, exclaiming: “Rosalind, she’s trying to escape. We need to lock this place down!”
Fans were thrilled to see Rosalind’s case reopened, but are understandably anxious about what it could mean for John and his crew.
