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?

please keep rizzoli and isles its the best out there on TNT..! Angie and the rest of the cast make it awesum!
I LOVE THIS SHOW! I can’t wait for the new season! 🙂 Just watched the season finale. It was pretty intense!
I concurr Why did ratings fall Rizzoli and Isles is a really great show The fact that it is able to stand in the same time frame as Monday Night Raw speaks very well of it. I am a Raw fan, but I tune in to Rizzoli and Isles when it is on
I lovee this show.. I hope it would last longer like MONK..
can’t wait for second seasons 🙂
I love this show and have no idea why ratings have fallen. It is my close second favorite behind Leverage which keeps coming out with hit after hit.
I am thrilled that Rizzoli and Isles are returning for a second season. The action, suspense, strong police drama with a human touch, keeps my attention. It could stand a little more romance, but other than poor writing at times–it is great. I will waiting for the new season.
no i am not happy as the show has not apologized for its inaccurate racist portrayal of cape verdean americans
I love the show….. keep up the good work, Angie and Sasha are a good match. It’s going to be tough waiting so long for the second season.
