After being on the air for just three weeks, TNT’s new Rizzoli & Isles TV show has already been renewed for a second season.
Rizzoli & Isles follows tough detective Jane Rizzoli (Harmon) as she teams up with serious forensic pathologist Maura Isles (Sasha Alexander). Others in the cast include Bruce McGill, Lee Thompson Young, Lorraine Bracco, and Jordan Bridges.
The premiere garnered a 1.5 rating in the 18-49 demo and 7.55 million total viewers. Rizzoli & Isles also set a record for the debut of a commercial-supported cable series. Week two’s demo number was steady at a 1.5 but viewership fell to 7.27 million. In week three, the demo fell to a 1.3 and viewership took a big drop, to 6.55 million.
Despite this week’s big tumble, TNT has decided to give Rizzoli & Isles a second season. The cable channel has ordered 13 episodes for season two and they’re expected to air sometime in 2011.
The 10 episodes of season one are expected to finish airing in late September.
What do you think? Are you glad to hear Rizzoli & Isles has been renewed? Do you think the ratings will keep going down?

I’m glad Rizzoli and Isles is going into another season as it is a great show. I love the books and the tv series is really great
loved the show!, can’t wait for the new season. The chemistry between the actors is wonderful, not to mention the humor.
Loved the show and the characters but you wait way to long to bring them back w/all the new shows coming on and trying to DVR them all there are just so many hours in a day. Don’t make us wait so long or we might lose interest.
Can’t wait for season 2. Great show. Love how the characters act together. They are likable and in today’s TV shows, that is rare.
Waiting too long between series. Too many new shows to draw interest away. Love the show, but they’ve worn out the show with reruns of the first season already.
OMG!!!! I have been waiting for this show to come back on!!! I cannot wait to see season two. Thank you!!! I love this cast!!!!!
I totally agree. That finale was a cliffhanger and I need to see the next episode. Hurry up!
Can,t wait for the series to come back on, loved the humor of the two stars. Thank you & hurry back
