The ratings for Major Crimes on TNT have been slipping. It’s still one of the cable channel’s highest-rated dramas but the numbers have been coming down. Will they continue to drop this season or rebound? Cancelled or renewed for season five? We’ll have to watch the numbers and see.

The crime drama’s cast includes Mary McDonnell, Tony Denison, GW Bailey, Michael Paul Chan, Raymond Cruz, Robert Gossett, Phillip P. Keene, Graham Patrick Martin, Kearran Giovanni, and Jonathan Del Arco.

renew major crimes
Keep the shows coming. I live for Mondays when Major Crimes is showing! Bring it on 5th Season PLEASE!!!!
I love Major Crimes! One of the best shows since The Closer ended. I have the series set to record so I don’t miss a show. TNT needs to renew the show.
I hope they renew for 5 and more! I have all 3 seasons on DVD and watch them when my cable has dropped them on demand. I really enjoy all the actors and like the pairing of Sharon and Andy. I wish I had thought and recorded season 4 .
I think Rusty needs to go off to college and become a semi -regular character. I am not that irritated by him and loved the adoption story line with Sharon and Rusty but it is time to end it now
I so agree Barbara, Rusty needs to go!
Love watching major crimes. Have been watching from the time the closer ended and major crimes started. I look forward to watching this show every time it starts. Monday evenings would not be the same if the show would be cancelled. So don’t cancel it.
TNT needs to renew Major Crimes for a 5th Season – I hope the delay is only because they are working a deal for more than one season. Major Crimes is my favorite show and it irritates me that TNT doesn’t seem invested in the show’s ongoing success.
I’m starting to worry about renewal for this show. I know that they extended S4 with 5 more episodes for a total of 23 for S4. That’s phenomenal! But why haven’t we heard about a S5 renewal? This is the second most watched show on TNT. I know a lot of MC viewers that, like me, will stop watching TNT if MC doesn’t get a S5. Considering that all of their “NEW” shows average around 2.5 million viewers or less per live episode maybe TNT needs to rethink their “edgier” programming and stay with, and PROMOTE, the tried & true… Read more »
We love Major Crimes. Look forward to Monday nights when it is on. The characters interact well, and they add some humor to it. Seems that dealing with Rusty’s issues have really supplied us with some great human interests and lessons on how to treat each other. There is always a good action at the end to make you feel good about the situation. Please do not remove it from the line-up.
Major Crimes ratings on this site, but also for the live+3, Live+7 are second only to rissoli and isles for viewing numbers, 10 .3 million across all platforms. Cannot understand why a fifth season has not been commissioned as yet. Hopefully not to far away. Those numbers are not easily replaced. RenewmajorcrimesS5
I only have 4 shows that I watch. This is my at the top of my list of the 4.
Naturally, I had tremendous trouble losing the Closer, with Kyra Sedgwick; AND, I have come to love Major Crimes; as the ensemble cast is great; and many were on the Closer.
PLEASE DON;T CANCEL THIS IS A GREAT SHOW.
One of the better “cop” shows on tv. Better treatment of issues beyond our apparent cultural addiction to a fascination with violence. Hoping for another season.
Just curious, but Kiki looks a lot younger than Korsak, rather like the gal they paired Frank Reagan, Blue Bloods, with (blonde reporter). they do the same for Jesse Stone. What is wrong with having more mature, attractive age-appropriate women paired with these characters?
I don’t dislike the female characters, just wondering WHY they always pair the older lead men with women a lot younger. btw, I love Korsak and glad he has a love life.
