The fifth season of Rookie Blue premiered on May 19, 2014, on Global. This season was originally going to be the first part of this season before it was announced that the first half have been rebranded as a single season.
Rookie Blue - Season 5
On March 24, 2014, ABC and ET Canada announced that season 5 of Rookie Blue would start on July 17 and that ABC and Global would be airing half the episodes this summer and the rest "at a later date".[3][4][5] ABC premiered the season on June 19, 2014,[6] whilst Global announced the season premiere was set for May 19, a month ahead of its American counterpart.[7] On August 7, 2014, creator Tassie Cameron announced, that the second half of season five would now be season 6 and air in 2015.[1][8]
Season 5 introduced Oliver Becker as Inspector John Jarvis and Matt Murray as Rookie Duncan Moore.[9] Lyriq Bent and Rachael Ancheril both returned for single-episode guest appearances following their departure from the main cast at the end of season 4, whilst Adam MacDonald was promoted to series regular.[10]
No police academy course or simulation exercise could have prepared Division 15 for the events that unfolded in "Under Fire" and "You Can See The Stars", the two-part season-four finale of "Rookie Blue".
The intense episodes found criminal Kevin Ford targeting the precinct's officers. On two separate occasions, he shot Officer Chloe Price (Priscilla Faia) and then later Officer Sam Swarek (Ben Bass). Both were gravely wounded and their survival uncertain by the end of the season but viewers won't have to hold their breath much longer once "Rookie Blue" returns on May 19.
"We did a really interesting thing this year, where it picks up right where we left off," says Peter Mooney, sporting a full uniform during an on-set interview in April. "We pick up at the hospital. It will be exciting for the audience because last season ended with so much stuff up in the air and we didn't resolve anything in the downtime."
On a sunny Monday morning, it's back to business. The boys and girls in blue have gathered in the main conference room. Officer Oliver Shaw (Matt Gordon) stands at the front talking about their latest assignment. The "plum job" revolves around clearing out any stragglers from a subsidized housing complex about to be demolished. There's some grumbling amongst the officers and in true snarky Gail fashion, Sullivan pipes up and says, "I'd rather mop the gym floor with my tongue."
"Nick stepped away in the season finale last year," states Mooney. "Those life and death situations sometimes bring things into a sharp focus. Right off the top, Nick takes himself out of the equation. That's tough because we all come to work every day. It's difficult, especially at the beginning of this season, but it will be on to different adventures for him."
"This season, there's a lot more cop stuff than personal for Nick," continues Mooney. "As the season goes on, there will be some big reveals about his past and personal life and where he comes from. There's still a lot of procedural stuff, including the revisiting of an old tradition at the station, which is a fun episode."
"My reaction was, 'are we doing this just to kiss a girl on screen because I don't want to do that,'" says Sullivan. "I want it to mean something. I had even talked to executive producer Tassie Cameron in season one. I said, 'What is Gail's sexuality?' She was like, 'Isn't it clear?' I was like, 'no. Who is this woman?' Once I told Tassie my instinct was that Gail was gay, Tassie took it and ran with it. I'm honoured that she included it in the storyline.
Every season, "Rookie Blue" introduces new characters to shake-up the team dynamic. This year is no exception. Eager rookie Duncan Moore (Matthew Owen Murray) will have problems fitting in and rub his fellow cops the wrong way. Meanwhile, Inspector John Jarvis (Oliver Becker) is out to make his mark on Division 15.
Sherry White: Yes, the new season was going to start about six months later. So when the series was to restart, Sam and Andy had been married for six months, and a new batch of Rookies were starting out at 15 division.
I always had that fear in the back of my mind that despite working really hard to come up with some great stuff, we were always in jeopardy of being that season that was just one season too many. So maybe in getting canceled, we dodged a bullet!
Of course, one step forward often leads to two steps back, and Peregrym promised that "there are some things that come up that are pretty big. The theme of this season is, 'Life is not a fairy tale.' And it's not. It's not the fairy tale we think it should be. This is more realistic, and the whole season is a lot of people who are going through some very grounding circumstances and situations that are pretty humbling, and it's so hard."

As a result, the Live + 7 Day ratings are the most accurate measure to gauge the size of the TV audience.Projections Rationale: Lifts vs. L+SD are based on the 2014-15 season for premiere telecast or an average for originals (excluding the premiere). Returning shows: Profile based on same show (either premiere or averages for originals). New Series: Based on similar series.
