TNT sets ‘Major Crimes’ season 5, ‘Rizzoli & Isles’ season 7 premiere dates
While it was not too long ago that TNT ended its latest seasons of both “Major Crimes” and “Rizzoli & Isles,” they’re not making you wait too much longer to figure out when the two shows are going to return.
The network confirmed Tuesday that the final season of the Sasha Alexander – Angie Harmon series is going to be premiering on Monday, June 6 at 9:00 p.m. Eastern time. (“Major Crimes” premieres the week after on Monday, June 13 at 10:00.) It’s a little bit of a different schedule this time around, since usually TNT uses these two shows in order to lead into other programs as a means to boost ratings.
While the network is being coy at the moment on the final “Rizzoli & Isles” season, they did release a synopsis-of-sorts for what is coming on “Major Crimes.” Take a look now below:
“Major Crimes returns with more mysteries in its fifth season as the squad sets out to solve some of the worst and most challenging homicides in America’s second largest city. Whether it involves hunting for a missing teenage girl who vanished while helping the homeless, hunting down the killer of a potentially dirty cop, following up on an ISIS-related beheading in an isolated corner of Los Angeles, or putting back together a body burnt to cinders in an Elysian Park grilling pit, the investigators strive to return balance to the scales of justice. This season, Sharon also strives to push her adopted son, Rusty, through college while figuring out where she wants to go in her ongoing romance with Andy Flynn; Julio Sanchez decides to try to adopt a child himself; Provenza develops some sensitivities related to his new marriage to Patrice (recurring guest star Dawnn Lewis); Buzz Watson picks up where the LAPD left off on their murder investigation of his father and uncle 30 years ago; Mike Tao wins an award for his work as a Hollywood consultant; and Amy Sykes confronts whether she wants to have children or stay focused on her career.”
Sound exciting? That is definitely about as beefy of a season description as we’ve ever seen in advance. We’ll just have to wait and see how all of that unfolds.
