FETV Acquires The Rookies; Hulu Renews The Bear for Season 5
FETV (Family Entertainment Television), home to beloved and timeless television series and movies carried across cable, satellite, and virtual platforms, announced that The Rookies will join the network's programming lineup starting Sunday, July 6th with a "Red, White, and the Blue" marathon from 9a-3p ET. The show will begin in its regular time slot the following day at 3:15p ET weekdays. As with all series on FETV, The Rookies will air in its original, uncut format.
Created by Rita Lakin, The Rookies stars Georg Stanford Brown, Sam Melville, and Michael Ontkean as three rookie officers in the fictional Southern California Police Department. Kate Jackson also stars as Jill Danko, a registered nurse who regularly interacts with the officers in the line of duty. The series aired on ABC from 1972 to 1976 and spawned a spin-off series titled S.W.A.T.
Following the debut of The Bear's fourth season, which is off to a white-hot start with viewers, FX has picked up the fifth season of the acclaimed Emmy(R)-Award winning comedy. All seasons, including the newly released season four, are available to stream on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ with a bundle subscription domestically and Disney+ internationally.
In the latest season, the series' fourth, Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White), Sydney Adamu (Ayo Edebiri) and Richard "Richie" Jerimovich (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) are pushing forward, determined not only to survive, but also to take The Bear to the next level. With new challenges around every corner, the team must adapt, adjust and overcome. The pursuit of excellence isn't just about getting better - it's about deciding what's worth holding on to. The series also stars Abby Elliott, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas and Matty Matheson, with Oliver Platt and Molly Gordon in recurring roles.
