 One of The Rookie's standout villains gets an intriguing return update from creator and showrunner Alexi Hawley. The Rookie season 8 will make network television history when it debuts in January. The procedural is going to Europe, as the premiere episode partially takes place in Prague, the Czech Republic's capital city, with filming happening on location over the summer.  The big milestone, however, is connected to a recurring villain. John Nolan (Nathan Fillion) and Bailey Nune (Jenna Dewan) will attempt to get the better of Monica Stevens (Bridget Regan) after the antagonist blatantly flaunted her apparent immunity in The Rookie's season 7 finale. But there's another baddie that viewers would like to see more of, as well.  In an interview with ScreenRant's Tatiana Hullender for The Rookie season 8, which premieres January 6, 2026, on ABC at 10 p.m. ET, Hawley was asked whether Elijah Stone, a recurring character played by Brandon Jay McLaren, could return, given that his recurring presence is still often cited by the audience.  Hawley responded that, although he hasn't spoken to McLaren directly, the answer is yes, and the writers are working on a way to bring Elijah back. Hawley explained that the main issue is finding a way to organically involve Elijah in the story since he's behind bars. The creator and showrunner likewise acknowledges that Elijah was a significant part of the hit ABC drama.  Read Hawley's full response below:  Elijah was introduced in a pivotal episode of The Rookie, season 4's "Life and Death." He's a crime boss, notorious for his rough history with Wesley Evers (Shawn Ashmore). Although the cartel leader has altercations with several main characters, including an attempt to murder Evers, he is a standout because of McLaren's performance.  He is part of a long line of villains from The Rookie that fit in well because of what the actors bring to the role. But on another front, the writers have been consistent in knowing when to lean into and lean away from familiar faces. In total, between seasons 4 and 5, Elijah makes 11 appearances.
