Rookie Blue is a Canadian police procedural television series starring Missy Peregrym and Gregory Smith. It was created by Morwyn Brebner, Tassie Cameron, and Ellen Vanstone.[1] The series premiered on June 24, 2010,[2] and aired on Global in Canada and ABC in the United States.[3]

On July 17, 2013, Global and ABC jointly announced that Rookie Blue was renewed for a fifth season.[4] Originally intended to be a single season consisting of 22 episodes (up from the usual 13),[5] the season was split in two. Season 5 premiered on May 19, 2014, on Global,[6] on June 19 on ABC,[7] and on July 20 on Universal Channel in the UK.[8] The second 11 episodes aired in 2015 and were later re-branded as season 6.[9][10][11] The final episode of Season 6 aired that July.

On October 16, 2015, it was announced that Rookie Blue had completed its run after six seasons and would not be returning.[12]
