The Rookie Season 7, Episode 17, titled 'Mutiny and the Bounty,' will air on May 6, 2025, and then there will be only one episode left for the season to end. According to IMDb, the plot of the episode reads:
"The team helps skip tracer Randy when his new love interest is kidnapped; Angela and Nyla enlist their mums to help catch a con artist; Wesley is threatened to drop a case."
The previous episode ended with a major cliffhanger, with Seth Ridley returning in the show and getting a bullet to save John Nolan. It seemed as if he was trying to be good, as his legs got amputated and vulnerable, he also confessed that he lied to Tamara. The episode left his fate ambiguous, with his career and relationship both in question.
The new episode will answer these questions while also introducing some new adventures for the cops, as the plot suggests. Read on to know the complete streaming details of The Rookie, season 7 episode 17.
The Rookie Season 7 Episode 17: Release date and streaming details explored

All episodes of the show will be available to stream on Hulu and Disney+ for US audiences the next day, and on purchase on Amazon Prime and Apple TV.

Patrick Keleher, the actor behind Seth Ridley, spoke about his character's future in The Rookie
The last episode featured Seth's life turning upside down with his controversial comeback, leaving everyone infuriated. He gets engaged to Tamara despite Lucy's warnings. Everybody is aware of his manipulative and clumsy behaviour, and while no one treated him right, Nolan pairs with him. They both follow a lead to a warehouse and indulge in a shootout. During this time to save Nolan, Seth takes a bullet, which leaves him severely injured.
In a recent interview with ScreenRant, the actor who plays Seth, Patrick Keleher, answered several questions from the previous episode. The actor revealed the intentions of his character:
"He wants to be a good cop. That's why he started being a cop in the first place. He wants to make a difference. But God, lying is just deep in his roots, and I wonder if we'll ever go into Seth's past, if we'll ever see him as a child. What happened to him? So I think he's always trying to do the right thing, but it just gets mixed up."
He also answered ambiguously whether his injury would lead him to sacrifice his career as a cop:
"I remember when I came to set one day, I was talking to one of our ex-LAPD officers on set. And he's like, "Yeah, man. You lose a leg, you're out." But you never know. You never know what'll happen."
He also suggested that Tamara and Seth might reconcile in future episodes. Therefore, slightly revealing the direction in which episode 17 will be in The Rookie.
