The Rookie Season 8 Video Reveals Why Nolan’s Team Is In Europe

by

In a fresh update from The Rookie‘s eighth season, we learn the motive behind Nolan, Bailey, and their team’s trip to Europe. As production for season 8 gets underway, Jenna Dewan, one of the cast members, has been posting pictures and videos on her Instagram showing that a section of the show is being filmed in Prague, the Czech Republic’s capital city.

For the very first time, the police procedural is being filmed outside the country. Although we won’t see The Rookie return to ABC until sometime next year, we might get a clearer idea about why John Nolan (Nathan Fillion) and Bailey Nune (Dewan) are working abroad.

In a TikTok posted by justmimi__, a fan expresses her thrill about encountering Fillion in Prague. Upon careful observation, it appears that John and Bailey are seen with Monica Stevens, a recurring adversary, in the background, potentially apprehending her. Take a look at the video below for more details:

What This Means For The Rookie Season 8

Monica Has Caused Some Chaos

Monica consistently features on ABC’s show, appearing in 14 episodes since her introduction in season 5. She plays a sly lawyer character with enough self-assurance to make it convincing. Lately, Monica has been causing quite a stir. By cleverly manipulating circumstances, she has managed to secure complete immunity for past misdeeds, making her seem unbeatable as an adversary.

In the final episode of The Rookie’s seventh season, Monica provocatively strolls past Nolan and his team without a second glance. She navigates through Homeland Security, even jokingly inquiring if Nolan misses her. It remains unclear how this shift in setting could reshape the relationship between our hero and villain, but it’s plausible that Monica may not be as invincible as she believed.

It appears that the next installment will divide its focus between Europe and the United States. The cast of The Rookie, consisting of Shawn Ashmore, Lisseth Chavez, Meika Cox, Alyssa Diaz, Richard T. Jones, Melissa O’Neil, Eric Winter, and Deric Augustine, may take charge while the Monica follow-up unfolds in Prague.

It Shakes Things Up

As a movie connoisseur, I must say that Regan truly shines when it comes to portraying the sinister side in procedural dramas. She’s captivated us as one of the most outlandish adversaries on the gripping series 9-1-1, and even brought Poison Ivy to life on The CW’s enthralling Batwoman. Any plotline that keeps her character around is definitely worth delving into, especially since it promises a thrilling change of scenery that The Rookie will undoubtedly find intriguing, offering a fresh twist that will undeniably enrich the show.
