Cast members of The Rookie have sparked a reaction from fans after reuniting on the picket lines in support of the ongoing writers' strike.
Alyssa Diaz, Melissa O'Neil and Mekia Cox were pictured holding up signs that read, "SAG-AFTRA ON STRIKE" as they joined other union members taking a stand after failing to come to an agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP).
Taking to Instagram, Alyssa shared a black-and-white snap of her and her co-stars holding their signs on the picket lines. Tagging her cast members in the caption, she wrote: "ON STRIKE!!!! @mekiacox @missoneil @farceprod #sagaftrastrong #wgastrong #unionstrong #solidarity."
Fans rushed to the comments section to share their support for the actresses. One person wrote: "The girls reunited for the strike, YES!!!" while another added: "Sending my support @alydiaz @mekiacox @missoneil."

A second person added: "Keep up the great fight!!! I hope this ends before The Rookie comes back on!!! Can't go too long without my favorite show and cast!!!"
While production on the upcoming sixth season was due to begin at the end of June, it's likely that this has been delayed due to the ongoing strike.
Industry insiders have predicted that the strike will be settled by the fall. If this is true, it's very possible that filming for the new episodes will be well underway towards the end of the year.

While new seasons of the show usually begin airing in the fall, ABC has made some changes to its fall schedule, which is now comprised of mainly unscripted shows. This means that scripted series such as The Rookie will likely hit screens during the mid-season.
