Wednesday Season 2 Adds Guest Stars, New Principal, Expanded Cast

The Rookie is preparing for its eighth season, with new cast developments expected as the mid-season debut approaches on ABC. Despite season 7 featuring one of the series' best episodes, "Wildfire," the overall season failed to live up to expectations, continuing a downward trend from season 6. The "Wildfire" episode was praised for its tension, storyline integration, and character development, but it ultimately set a standard the rest of the season could not match. Meanwhile, other crime dramas like the Danish series "White Sand" are also releasing new seasons, with season 2 premiering on TV4 and introducing new lead actors and storylines. Additionally, the show "Wednesday" is entering its second season and adding a range of notable guest stars and new characters, including a new principal and family members who deepen the plot. Soap operas such as General Hospital are also seeing casting updates, including contract renewals and returns of familiar actors, indicating ongoing developments in daytime television.
