The Rookie Season 7 Episode 12 promo reveals shocking take on terrifying horror series

After seven years, things are no longer new or fresh – as we approach the release of The Rookie Season 7 Episode 12 next week, the promotional material takes a chilling turn by referencing a well-known horror series in time for April Fool’s Day.

The makers behind “The Rookie” consider it a police drama equivalent to “Grey’s Anatomy,” meaning you can expect it to stay on air for quite some time. As this show delves into numerous seasons of storytelling, it’s no surprise that it will encounter well-known properties, and this is exactly what we’re seeing in Season 7.

If you tend to be easily disturbed or startled, you might want to give the upcoming episode a miss, as it delves deeper into some very intense and disturbing themes, following the recent hostage incident involving John and Celina.

What’s the basis for this information? Although a detailed summary for The Rookie Season 7 Episode 12 hasn’t been publicly shared, the promotional material for that episode seems to pay tribute to one of the most chilling horror movie series.

The Rookie takes on The Purge in Season 7 Episode 12 promo

It’s clear from the following promotion that The Rookie’s Season 7 Episode 12, creatively named ‘April Fools’ Day,’ will feature a similar theme to The Purge movies, tailored for our show.

A practical joke on the LAPD’s social media platforms causes citywide confusion; John is put to the test with his team organization skills; Wesley gets assigned a complex case; Tim and Lucy play a trick on their colleagues.

It seems that the citywide disorder is a disguised cleansing operation, as law enforcement officials have noticed a concerning social media warning falsely claiming to be from the LAPD. The post states, “City of Los Angeles: For the following 3 hours, all crimes are permitted. Have fun and don’t bother us,” indicating an intentionally misleading message inciting criminal activity.

If you haven’t watched The Purge yet, prepare yourself for something unexpected. Essentially, during a specific span (often until dawn), all crimes are allowed, making everyone a potential target for violence or, based on one’s inclinations, an opportunity to become a murderer.

There’s five movies in the series, which are as follows:

  • The Purge (2013)
  • The Purge: Anarchy (2014)
  • The Purge: Election Year (2016)
  • The First Purge (2018)
  • The Forever Purge (2021)

Currently, it’s uncertain which movies might inspire the upcoming Rookie episode, but it’s likely that the first, second, and third films could be the ones with the closest connection.
