TORONTO, May 2, 2013 /CNW/ - Global is proud to announce the highly anticipated return of Canada's favourite
cop show Rookie Blue season four, in simulcast with ABC on Thursday, May 23 - 10pm ET/PT. Also new this season is Rookie Blue In Session, a dramatic short form web series on GlobalTV.com that will give fans an unprecedented look inside the minds of the
police officers from 15 Division.
Faced with huge repercussions, 15 Division seemed on the edge of
unraveling at the end of last season. The explosive season four
premiere will answer fans' burning questions and will also welcome two
new characters, Marlo Cruz and Chloe Price, who have the power to turn
15 Division on its head.
New and old romantic ties come to light as new rookie recruits Chloe
Price (Priscilla Faia - True Justice) and Senior Uniformed Officer Marlo Cruz (Rachael Ancheril - The Listener) join the team. Andy McNally (Missy Peregrym), Dov Epstein (Gregory Smith), Chris Diaz
(Travis Milne), Traci Nash (Enuka Okuma), Gail Peck (Charlotte
Sullivan) and Nick Collins (Peter Mooney) all return for season four.
"Rookie Blue is gritty and intense with rich storylines that leave viewers on the
edge of their seats," said Barb Williams, SVP, Content, Shaw Media. "This season we're thrilled to satisfy fans' desire for more content by
expanding beyond the hour-long episodes with the new dramatic web
series Rookie Blue In Session and in addition online episodic cast commentary. The new online content
is the perfect extension for fans wanting to delve deeper into this
hugely successful series."
Rookie Blue In Session, a 10-part short form original web series, follows the cops from 15
Division as they sit down with the staff psychologist to face their
darkest demons, personal and professional struggles and major
decisions, leaving them at their most vulnerable.
Fans can catch up now on the past three seasons of Rookie Blue for free on GlobalTV.com or the Global Video App.
Rookie Blue is executive produced by award-winning Tassie Cameron (Flashpoint), Ilana Frank (The Eleventh Hour, Would Be Kings), David Wellington (The Eleventh Hour, Would Be Kings), Russ Cochrane (The Listener) and John Morayniss (Klondike, Rogue).
