‘The Rookie’: Tru Valentino Exiting ABC Drama

Sergeant Aaron Thorsen is leaving the mid-Wilshire division.

Deadline has confirmed that Tru Valentino, who joined the ABC series in season 4, will not return for season 7.

Valentino debuted in the season four episode titled “Five Minutes” as a recurring character. He became a series regular in the fifth and sixth seasons. His character was the son of a famous rapper; he became famous on TikTok for touting his privileged lifestyle. He then made a serious life change and attended the police academy.

TVLine was first to break the news.

In July, ABC announced two new rookies will debut on the show in season 7. Deric Augustine (All American) will play Miles, a Texas transfer, while Patrick Keleher will play Seth, a rookie who isn’t always quick and decisive.

As previously announced, the new season of The Rookie won’t debut until midseason.
