The show's official Twitter account posted a glimpse of a day on set through Nathan's eyes, showing the John Nolan actor preparing to shoot a scene with his co-star and on-screen fiancée Jenna Dewan, who plays Bailey Nune.

So, is the show set to return? While there's currently no news on the drama's renewal, it's likely that John Nolan and the rest of the team will be back with new episodes following season five. 

Given ABC launched a spin-off of the police drama titled The Rookie: Feds at the end of last year, it's safe to assume that the original show isn't going anywhere.

The star was supposed to attend the Fan Expo Portland convention from Friday 17 February to Sunday 19 February, but couldn't after coming down with a cold. 

He wrote in the caption: "Although I was very much looking forward to seeing you all this weekend, I have fallen ill and will not be able to attend the Convention in Portland. 

"I am crestfallen. I am heartbroken. I am also full of snot and have a fever. Next time!"
