Nathan Fillion, 52, has sprung to the forefront of the Hollywood zeitgeist with his role in The Rookie and was giddy as he announced an exciting development for the ABC show on Instagram on Monday evening.
The actor shared a screenshot of a headline by Deadline declaring: “The Rookie renewed for season 6 by ABC.”
Adorably gushing over the show in the caption, Nathan declared: “I couldn’t be more proud of this show, and I couldn’t be happier about coming back for another season.
“I know what I think is going to happen this next season, but you tell me yours!”
The announcement quickly caught the eye of fans across the platform, including some A-list viewers.

“Yesssss!” Jenna Dewan exclaimed with a string of celebratory emojis in the comments while Nathan’s co-star Shawn Ashmore added: “So excited man!”
Shazam star Zachary Levi also weighed in: “Congrats brotherrr!!!”
Fans were quick to oblige Nathan’s request, as one fan jokingly hypothesized: “A best selling female author shadows Nolan as a favor from the mayor and they start solving crimes together?”
This, of course, is the plot to Nathan’s previous series, Castle, which catapulted him into stardom in the early 2000s.
Another fan shared their own theory of potential Rookie developments adding: “Ryan and Esposito join the LAPD?” which caused a frenzied rush of agreement from many of Nathan’s followers.
Nathan opened up on one upcoming guest star set to dazzle fans as he revealed that pop icon Kelly Clarkson would be making an appearance.
Speaking to Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos on the Kelly and Mark Live show in January, Nathan joked: “We’re going to work our way through the Kelly’s.”
Revealing that the pop star would be playing herself rather than a character, Nathan explained that the singer actually has a surprising hang up when it comes to performances.
He shared, referring to her sold-out concerts across the globe: “She performs like crazy but you give her a line and she’s like ‘Oh, I can’t do this’, she’s a mess!”
Nathan added that her cameo only has two lines for this purpose, noting that they kept the word count “low” for Kelly.
The Rookie airs Tuesday on ABC in the USA.
