Telly’s Take

Although it officially premiered on June 11th, TNT ran a late-night surprise sneak peek of the Claws premiere episode after the May 25th NBC playoff game, to capitalize on its large audience. The ratings have remained pretty consistent so I think that TNT will renew Claws for a second season. I’ll keep hungry eye on the Nielsens and will update this page as needed.
