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?
Yes I watch it !!! Keep it going when it goes on hiatus I keep looking for its return
So glad it’s being renewed!!! Have watched it from its beginning and is one of only a few good shows left…
Love this show. Glad it’s coming back.
So relieved they will be coming back. They are like family.
Best show on tv!!!
Love it…..keep it going
Love, Love Major Crimes, it’s a realistic TV drama and I live in California sooo enjoy that it takes place here….Lovef the Closer too, KEEP MAJOR CRIMES GOING, I’M SURE THERE ARE MILLIONS OF US OUT THERE WHO LOVE THIS SHOW…. LOVED THE ENDING OF THS SEASON, WHEN WILL THEY BE BACK????
So glad Major Crimes is not being cancelled.
Love the show and all the characters.
Yes, I have followed Major Crimes and the Closer (same ansambel cast). I do hope season 6 will be moving forward. The entire cast and script writing still keeps many viewers tuned in each week.
Lame! This show is lame! The only people who watch it are post-menopausal women – what a horrible demo for a show – tv writing at its most predictable and bland. Least my mom likes it – but I truly think she’d be better off spending her time watching paint dry. CANCEL IT! Mark my words – Season 6 will be the last – and it will be worse than usual (is that possible) and you’ll wish it was cancelled in season 5. Just awful.
Clearly, you haven’t studied its numbers, specifically in the area of demo. Maybe turn off The Simpsons Spongebob and BEFORE spewing opinion as fact study the numbers for the show, including later viewings. Show gets 10 million viewers a week (second only to TWD), including high numbers (1m) in demo. Last time I checked demo doesn’t include only “post menopausal” women.
Wow. What an unhappy person you are! And no taste at all. Why don’t you tune in to South Park?
Favorite drama show on TV. Love the characters, variety of ages and storylines both at work and outside of work. Please do not cancel..
Thanks TNT for renewing Major Crimes. It’s the only good show now that Rizzoli & Isles was canceled. There are so few really good shows these days.
Love this show–characters are great as are the stories!! Do not cancel!!!
Love the show, don’t cancel
Watch Major Crimes every week.
Love the actors and the plot!
So happy the show is being renewed.
Could use more shows of this quality.
I recorded the series in 2017. & plan to watch them all at once. I don’t like waiting a week between episodes.
I will continue to watch all seasons.
