could absolve him of any alleged crimes.
When speaking with ScreenRant, creator and showrunner, Alexi Hawley, addresses what the loose end could mean. While the villain won't pose a threat during the remainder of season 7, Hawley is already thinking of a way to further expand the plot in The Rookie season 8. He points out the show's history of bringing back past actors, sharing that he would like to create a dynamic and dramatic storyline if Glasser goes free. Read Hawley's full response below:
ScreenRant: Liam Glasser seems to think he's found a loophole to get out of prison. Is that something we should be concerned about?
Alexi Hawley: I think that's a really fun idea. I guess to be a little spoilerly, it's not a season 7 story, but I do think it's very much in my head for season 8 as to something. He's such a phenomenal actor, and it's a great character, and I think we've shown we have a history of falling in love with actors and characters and trying to figure out ways to bring them back. I think that the nut to crack is how to make it a dynamic and dramatic storyline if we go down that road.
