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?

My husband and I love the show. It needs to have more shows and be a longer season. Can’t wait for season number 2
Could live without this show and not miss anything. There are much better shows being taken off the air.
Love the show. Can’t wait until it comes on.
I completely agree with Pat Bowan, I too miss The Women’s Murder Club and would really like to see it return, but Rozolli & Isle is just as goodand I hope it has many more seasons especially with all the same cast such as Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander, they make an awesome team.
SOOO In love with Rizzoli and Isles! I had not watched the first season but stumbled upon in in reruns this year. I went and watched all other episodes and cannot wait for the next season!!
Love it. Keep it!!!!!
Love the series. It reminds me of Cagney and Lacey. Hope they give it a shot. You need more than just two episodes in 2011 to keep the show going. You cannot keep moving the time slots either. We love Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander and hope that they are given a full year before any decisions are made. Great series and those two are great together.
I’m so glad that it’s going to have a season 2! I just love the show, I’m hooked on after the first season, I would be just bummed out if it didn’t come back, so thank god it was renewed for season 2!!
I’m glad you are renewing the second season of this great show. I have looking forward to it since the first season ended. I just think the Harmon and Alexander are great together. I’ve been wanting to see Sasha since NCIS. She was my favorite character on that show was so disappointed when she left!
I Love the show and can’t wait for it to come back I hope the ratings go Way up
Yes, I am glad that this series has been renewed. This is a very good show.
I miss Women’s Murder Club and LOVE Rizzoli & Isles. Angie Harmon is brilliant!
Agree with you!
I like anything Angie Harmon plays in, she is a great actress, and I love the show, keep it going!!!!!
i am glade you put it back on the air
keep it on the air as long as ncis is
thanks
Love, love, love the show! Needs more episodes.
