Guys, the writers have ALL said that they are making 13 episodes in season two. I even asked because I thought ABC/Canada would increase the order. But they are keeping it at 13 episodes probably to have it only over the summer.

I WISH we would get a 22 episodes order or at least like a 16 episode order. But I don't think that will happen with the writers already now writing the new episodes and arranging the whole season with the knowledge that they will have 13 episodes.
Yeah, they said somewhere when they were picked up for S2 that it was a 13 episode order. And it's HIGHLY unlikely that ABC will air this show anywhere but the summer schedule - they have way too many regular shows, specials, etc. I guess there's still a chance, so we can all keep our fingers crossed?

I work in TV, and typically (almost without fail, but there are exceptions out there) it's a 13 episode order for new shows, then potentially a "back nine" pickup (like Glee got), or skip to a S2 pickup. The S2 pickup is either a full season of 22 episodes, or for summer shows like this one, a 13 episode pickup. It looks like ABC is following the highly successful format that USA uses of doing 13 episode summer seasons.

I'm ok with this, as the alternative is a full season pickup that runs against big huge shows and would get pummeled in the ratings. I'd much rather have the show stay in summers than not be on at all!

ABC’s Rookie Blue was steady, and up a little bit with adults 18-49 to a 1.7 rating to go along with its 6.43 million viewers.

It's great that Rookie Blue has a growing & yet loyal fan base! Hopefully this trend will continue.

The amount of fans on the RB facebook page has gone up considerably as the show progresses...over 50,000 I think now.

My first post I love this show and am thrilled its doing well but I gotta say that I am a little miffed that we have to wait a whole year to see it again. Is it true we have to wait till May/June for season2?
I get that they want to keep it as a summer show but I personally think that it could stand its own against some of the fall shows. Typically a lot of new shows bomb in the first few weeks so why not have a somewhat proven show like RB air in its place or at least bring it back in January? Fall shows start to take their hiatus in March so I am praying maybe ABC will do a lot of promoting of RB. Is there no way to plead for a longer season2 or is it based on ratings? Lotsa questions but I don't know how I am going to survive almost a whole year!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :spaz:

I'm with you ^

I don't think I can survive a WHOLE year without Rookie Blue :omg:

Plus we are gonna get only 13 episodes :sad:

We also have to keep in mind that there's a lot of competition as a regular series on thursdays, we have Grey's Anatomy and Bones which are vere well known.

I prefer RB like Psych that airs July and finish on October, wish they make it like that :mellow:

Actually, a longer summer that starts earlier probably makes more sense for a network show than a summer show extending into October like Psych. They could easily start in June rather than July.

I hope they start S2 earlier then they started S1. If they start at the beginning of June instead of at the end, we could see all 13 episodes (with reruns Saturday night) - and get all our promos because they won't be focused on the fall season

Honestly, guys, the ABC promo is not that exciting anyway. The Global one was better, IMO.

Oh, the wait is definately going to be brutal. I don't think I've ever tuned into a summer show besides Rookie Blue before...so I don't know how waiting so long for a new episode feels.

Yeah me either! I've never been this interested in a summer show before too. I wonder what will happen to us Sandy shippers in our year long drought. :ermm:

The only summer show I´m watching besides rookie blue is True Blood.

Last year I thought I couldn´t bear the wait, but between the two seasons I graduated from school, so I was pretty distracted.
This year I´m going to college, maybe this will help too. But I´m not as obsessed with True Blood as with Rookie Blue. :ermm:

Hopefully school work will keep us all busy! I know personally that between schoolwork, watching reruns and hopefully lots of fanfics I hope that the wait won't be so bad (I just might be able to recite all episodes word-for-word in my sleep by the time next summer rolls around)
