It’s not on right now. The season is split into 2 parts. The 1st runs early June through early August. The 2nd part runs late Nov. through early Jan. If you check the chart in this post you will see the dates the episodes aired. S4 should start in June 2015.
Love Major Crimes and it’s stars. When does a new season start?
S4 should start sometime in early June. Check the chart in this post for the dates when S3 aired. They generally follow the same timeframe for the new season.
I like the show as well and I like Mary McDonnell’s method of solving the cases. I HATED her on The Closer…but then as a protagonist…great acting! The writing gets bogged down at times with too much of the soap opera of the show, try scaling it back a bit on all the story lines. When it takes forever for a resolution, I get bored and go watch something else.
When is season three going to come out on DVD? Where can I purchase it?
Please bring back Major Crimes. It is one of my favorite shows. I would like to know if it is coming back or not. Please let me know. Thanks
Major Crimes returns for a fourth season sometime in June. An exact return date hasn’t been released yet.
Just watched 3 full seasons of Major Crimes, and I suspect season 4 will be its last. This, like The Closer, are supposed to be crime dramas. Closer succeeded in a believable way, with some personal/human issues superimposed on the side, contrary to Major Crimes. McDonnell and Sedgwick played well off each other in Closer, but on her own, McDonnell is less believable as a cop. And to keep the same “Stroh/gay kid” story going now for 3 yrs – and counting – is a huge yawn. His finale escape simply predictable. Inter-play of characters inferior to Closer, though it’s… Read more »
I omitted the unbelievably of the ineffectual DA, or whatever, Rios. Maybe the writers can get some tips from the various Law & Order characters for authenticity.
I didn’t even know Major Crimes had started up again last month. I never saw it advertised. I really like this show and have watched every one since the Closer ended. I will have to go on On Demand to watch the 2 shows from Jan 12th.
please bring major crimes back for another season, it is my favorite show of all time on television
Love this show please bring it back
I really enjoy the show and hope it continues for many more seasons.
Love the show , Love the cast. Too few shows have the ability to change the prime character and stay popular Please keep it on the air
this is the first time I’ve shared my opinion regarding any program. I wish this program were on everyday. the characters have real human depth, they seem real to me sometimes, I never thought THE CLOSER could be beat but this show evolves, enhances, exposes the human being. please do not end something so moving & irreplaceable. thank you & have a peaceful day.
Why was a special master even appointed?
I love Major Crimes Please keep it going. My favorite show
Leave rusty alone and keep him on the show
Just kill off Rusty or send him away. Which kid spends all his time in a police station anyway. Annoying as hell!
Couldn’t agree more. 3 yrs of that kid – and counting – is enough. Crime dramas are supposed to be just that; Major Crimes makes crime secondary to so many personal dramas. Initially, it was a tearful situation, but I’m not interested in seeing him graduate college.
