The Rookie: North is scheduled to premiere on ABC and DIRECTV on January 6, 2027. Check the complete title and the viewing option available in your account.

For related viewing, see local ABC channel guide and The Rookie viewing guide. Our TV guide covers more announced releases.

What the announcement says

Jay Ellis stars as Alex Holland, a new police recruit in the Pacific Northwest. The spinoff is scheduled for Wednesday, January 6, at 10 PM ET, following The Rookie at 9 PM.

Check your local ABC listing for the applicable time and next-day Hulu availability in your account. The premiere announcement does not establish a full first-season episode schedule.

Choose a viewing route

Check the local ABC channel included with your DIRECTV account. Local station numbers vary, and the account’s guide is the best place to confirm the time where you live.

Review whether your household already has qualifying access through an active subscription or bundle. Complete any required activation or account linking and check the current price and renewal terms before adding another service.

Find the right listing

  1. Search the full title in the app or television guide.
  2. Confirm the season, film or spinoff name.
  3. Check the release date and local availability.
  4. Review the rating, language options or time zone shown.
  5. Select an included playback or recording option when available.

A reminder button or trailer before the premiere is not the complete program. Earlier seasons and similarly named productions can appear beside the new release. For a series, use the episode list rather than assuming the entire season arrives together.

Before you watch

Test sign-in on the television or streaming device you plan to use. An installed app alone does not establish a paid subscription, and an unrelated television package does not unlock every streaming service. If playback fails, check the account, plan, regional catalog and connection before paying again.

Listings and catalogs can change. Confirm the specific program in the region where you will watch, especially when comparing U.S. broadcasts with international streaming announcements. Details were reviewed October 27, 2026.
