Fans must wait until 2026 for an all-new season of The Rookie - but Us Weekly already knows which cast members are, and aren't, returning. Showrunner Alexi Hawley exclusively confirmed to Us in May that season 8 of the ABC series will feature both Oscar Hutchinson (Matthew Glave) and Monica Stevens (Bridget Regan) as villains. "It's not the last we're gonna see [of] him," Hawley said of Oscar, who was able to escape police capture during the season 7 finale, but not with the stolen diamonds he acquired. "I think we're heading for ... a bit of an end game there, or at least the end of a chapter." When it comes to Monica, Hawley told fans at San Diego Comic-Con in July that season 8 will begin overseas in Prague with the corrupt attorney - who made a deal with the FBI to close season 7 - front and center. 'The Rookie' Season 8 Will Kick Off in Prague: Everything to Know Officer John Nolan (Nathan Fillion) is confirmed to be making the trip alongside Detective Nyla Harper (Mekia Cox) and The Rookie: Feds' FBI Supervisory Special Agent Matt Garza (Felix Solis), according to TVLine. But who else from the police force - and their inner circle - can fans expect to see next season? Scroll down for everything we know about The Rookie's season 8 cast: Nathan Fillion Disney/Mike Taing Fillion confirmed his return as officer John Nolan in April, while celebrating the season 8 renewal announcement. "I've been around long enough to know how truly challenging and rare it is to have a long running show. Thank you all for sticking around for these 7 seasons - it's because of you that we are announcing season 8!!" the actor wrote via Instagram. "Congratulations to @alexihawley and the wonderful team that puts this show together. I am so very proud to work alongside all of you. Let's do this! #therookie." Alyssa Diaz Disney/Mike Taing Diaz's Detective Angela Lopez is safe from the chopping block heading into season 8. She will be part of the LAPD force working to bring down Monica and Oscar - when he eventually resurfaces. Eric Winter Disney/Mike Taing Winter will be back as Tim Bradford, who fans last saw asked Lucy Chen (Melissa O'Neil) to move in with him, but she dozed off and didn't hear him. "I do think that cementing that conversation [between them] at the top of the next season and figuring out what the next [or] the right next step is, that's gotta be our premiere, right?" Hawley told Us in May, noting that the writers will "figure it out from there" how Tim and Lucy proceed as a couple. Winter, meanwhile, confessed to TVLine in May that he's unsure how Tim will proceed after putting his heart on the line. "I'm actually very curious about that," he said. "He has to do a lot of damage control." 'The Rookie' Season 8 Questions Answered: Will Lucy Move in With Tim? Melissa O'Neil Disney/Mike Taing O'Neil will reprise her role as Lucy Chen, but the new sergeant won't be on the night shift much longer. "I don't think it's an obstacle," Hawley teased. "The challenge of the night shift was fun in the finale but ultimately, I don't think we're gonna live in there for too long." The executive producer also told fans at San Diego Comic Con in July that Lucy will dive deeper into police work this season. "We have an undercover Lucy story that we're working on in the writers' room right now," he said via People. Mekia Cox Disney/Mike Taing Cox will return as Nolan's former training officer, detective Nyla Harper this season. While her story line has not been shared, Hawley told Us in May that fans will see more of Nyla and her husband, James Murray (Arjay Smith), after their rocky season 7. "They've been through the fire a bit for sure," the showrunner said. "The inherent contradiction of his job and her job is still there. I do think that they've navigated it for now. They're definitely in a stronger place than they were say early in season 7." Richard T. Jones Disney/Mike Taing Jones is returning as Lieutenant Wade Grey and his wife, Luna (Angela Parker), is expected to appear in several episodes as the couple is still going strong. When it comes to what Jones wants to see for Grey during season 8, he exclusively told Us in March that a cookoff between the lieutenant and rookie Miles Penn (Deric Augustine) would be fun. "I think that'd be just a great close out of an episode that, you know, everybody's at a barbecue. That we're having a competition. And they'll be the judges," he proposed. 'The Rookie' Cast's Dating History: Which Actors Are Single or Taken? Jenna Dewan Disney/Mike Taing Hawley confirmed during San Diego Comic-Con in July that Nolan's wife, Bailey Nune, played by Dewan, flew to Prague for the season 8 premiere alongside her TV husband. As in seasons' past, she will continue to be part of the cast and remain Nolan's No. 1 lady. Shawn Ashmore Disney/Mike Taing Ashmore will reprise his role as attorney Wesley Evers, but Hawley told Us that his and Angela's marriage won't be tested amid Monica's return. (Corrupt att
