Alexi Hawley on whether Lucy and Tim could get back together in The Rookie Season 8

The Rookie’s showrunner, Alexi Hawley, recently sat down with Screen Rant to talk about the Season 7 finale and shared his thoughts on Tim and Lucy’s relationship.

With the Season 7 finale teasing the romance between the two getting reignited, Hawley was asked whether Lucy and Tim will be together in The Rookie Season 8. To this, he replied, “We’re heading in a really good direction for fans of Chenford. This season has taken them on a journey that we all felt, on the show and in the room, was important to both deal with the real repercussions of what Tim did and the very real pain that he caused, including to himself, and trying to figure out why he did what he did and having Lucy have to forgive him.”

Furthermore, Hawley addressed why they left their reconciliation in a cliffhanger in the finale and added, “Ultimately, you leave that episode knowing where it’s going to go. I think you feel very positive about it. Obviously, Tim has done the work. Lucy and Tim still need to talk about it. One of the things that I think is clearly established during the course of our show is that healthy communication is not always their strong suit, but we’ve turned a corner.”

So, from the statements given by Hawley about Lucy and Tim, fans can expect the couple to most likely get back together in the next season.
