Season five of Major Crimes just finished this week. And recently, series creator James Duff spoke with TVLine about that explosive season ender for the TNT TV series.
The crime drama follows the investigations of the detectives in the Los Angeles Police Department’s Major Crimes division. The 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. TNT has already renewed the series for a sixth season.
In the interview, Duff revealed the season five finale was originally written as a series finale:
But we also wanted to put an explosive punctuation to the end of the series, if that’s what we were doing, and instead it was an explosive punctuation to the end of the season. And as season enders go, it’s pretty big for us.”
Later, the creator said a renewal wasn’t a sure thing and TNT “was so unsure about whether or not they were going to pick up the series” for season six.
What do you think? Do you watch Major Crimes? Are you glad it’s coming back for another season?
I love the show, the characters are hilarious at times. It is enjoyable to watch. Renew!
My husband and I love major crimes and now have our 3 adult children hooked on it. Keep the new seasons coming!
RENEW,RENEW,RENEW. WE CAN’T LOSE THIS SHOW.
I think Major Crimes needs a new foremat. It is getting to be old hat. I enjoyed watching it but the last few episodes are just too boring.
They go to multi-episode storylines next season. I can’t wait!
Love this show. The characters are great and look forward to each episode. Please keep it running.
I love the show, my wife and I both. Outstanding acting in an era of talentless reality TV.
Keep it going.
Yes, please bring it back. The cast works so well together.
My husband and I watch this always!! Please renew!!!!!
PLEASE renew!!! This is my favorite show! I loved The Closer and never believed that a spinoff would work – wow, was I wrong! Major Crimes is even better! Please renew it! I’m so invested in all the characters – PLEASE CONTINUE IT!!!!
I’m glad the show was renewed. After the cancellation of Rizolli & Isles, Major Crimes remains the only show I regularly watch on TNT.
Major Crimes is an excellent show and I’m glad there will be another season. Great writing and acting and I love the characters.
My family never misses ‘Major Crmes’. We loved ‘The Closer’ and followed the cast and premise over to Major Crimes. Very happy the show will continue into season 6.
KEEP IT ON – IT IS GOOD, NOT CRUDE. LIKE IT LOTS.
I would like the show a LOT more if they would send Rusty to a college FAR away. He has monopolized the show since he came on. Take his bio mom too. There are more characters than Rusty but you’d never know it. No way does he have that much involvement at the police station that he is allowed. Go back to the hi jinx of Provenza & Flynn, more Julio, and other members of the MC squad. Great show otherwise.
I enjoy this show it is scheduled to record every week. I hope that they don’t cancel it.
This is an excellent show with all the inner personal developments!!!!! Luv Lt. “P” AND HIS COIN FOR THE COPIER. Or when his calls him “Louie.”
Luv Luv!!!!!
