"The Rookie" Season 8 ended with a shocking cliffhanger leaving #Chenford's fate up in the air, but in another world, things could've been very different for these two lovebirds. Because the future of "The Rookie" was still up in the air during filming, Winter said they prepared for a possible cancelation. "We even shot an alternate ending to the show," he revealed. Winter didn't divulge any details about the other ending, but he did confirm that the things "would've been different" than what viewers saw when Season 8 wrapped in May. Since we don't have definitive answers to what could have been, and because we have to wait until "The Rookie" returns in 2027 to see what ultimately happens to #Chenford, why not fantasize about that alternate ending?
