TNT Renews Major Crimes for Season 2

TNT has just confirmed: Major Crimes will be tracking down suspects well into 2013.

The Closer spin-off, which averages around seven million viewers per week and is cable's most watched new series of the year, has been renewed for Season 2.

"With Major Crimes, James Duff and his amazing production team have crafted an incredibly entertaining show that not only honors the spirit of The Closer, but also stands alone with its own voice and spirit," said Michael Wright, president, head of programming for TNT, TBS and Turner Classic Movies (TCM).

"Week after week, Major Crimes has drawn millions of fans with its combination of sharp writing and engaging characters brought to life by what can only be described as one of the best acting ensembles on television. We look forward to another season of this remarkable new drama."
