The Rookieis heading overseas, and among the characters traveling is one who doesn’t seem like they belong with the group. ABC’s police procedural will kick off its eighth season in Prague, Czech Republic. Some of the show’s cast members were spotted filming scenes in the European city, andNathan Fillion himself even confirmed thatThe Rookieseason 8begins in Prague.
It’s unclear why exactlytheRookiecharactersare in Europe. We can only go off context clues and what we know from the season 7 finale, which featured Monica Stevens' return. Outside of that, though, not much is known about the season 8 premiere. Butout of everyone who was seen in Prague, one character’s presence in the city is the most befuddling.
The Rookie Season 8’s Prague Storyline Features Bailey
Jenna Dewan Was Spotted In Prague
The Rookiecast members who were in Prague are Fillion (John Nolan), Bridget Regan (Monica), Mekia Cox (Nyla Harper), Felix Solis (Matt Garza), and Jenna Dewan (Bailey Nune). Their involvement in the European scenes wasspoiled via set videos taken byThe Rookiefans. However,Dewan also confirmed it by posting pictures and videos of herself in Pragueon herInstagram.
AfterThe Rookieseason 7 endedwith the reveal thatMonica had made a deal for her immunity,it’s clear that she and the others are in Prague because of her agreement with the government. Perhaps Monica has intel on wanted criminals who are hiding in Prague. Whatever the case, fans must wait untilThe Rookieseason 8 to learn more.
Why Bailey Is Likely In Prague As Well During Monica’s The Rookie Season 8 Arc
Bailey Is In The Army National Guard
While one can infer why Nolan, Harper, Garza, and Monica are in Europe during theseason 8 premiere ofThe Rookie, it’s unclear why Bailey tagged along.She spends most of her time working as a firefighter/EMTin LA. So, why would the government need Bailey in Prague on what seems to be a top-secret mission?

Monica Stevens
While Bailey’s a firefighter/EMT for the LAFD, she’s also a lieutenant reserve in the Army National Guard. As such, she is sometimes pulled away on assignment. MaybeBailey’s status as a lieutenant is what brings her to Praguealongside theRookievillainand law enforcement officers. It would be quite a coincidence, butThe Rookieisn’t exactly known for its authenticity.
The Rookieseason 8, which will consist of 18 episodes, is set to premiere in early 2026.
