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 think that the ratings are going to go up. because it is a great show
I love the show and love all the actors. So glad it was renewed
I just discovered it online, and I watched all ten episodes in 3 days! I absolutely LOVE this show, it is smart, witty and attention grabbing. Please let the show go on! Love it!
Let me just say this show might just be my life, and I would fall into a deep depression if it ever ended. Pity I have to wait until the freakin’ summer for it to come back, but if Maura and Jane kissed…it would be worth the wait. Lets all just admit it…they are perfect for each other. Its obvious. Might I just add I plan on marrying Angie Harmon. She loves me too…she just doesn’t know it yet. ((;
Oh My GOD, I am so freaking excited, I have to say i was starting to give up on T.V. all together with the way that House had been turning out, and Bones took a slight tumble, Rizzoli & Isles made me love T.V. again i have even fallen back in love with ,y other shows, guess i just needed a small break. I am so excited to hear there is a second season and literally Can’t WAIT! I’m head over heals in LOVE with Sasha Alexander and cant wait to see her back in action with her perfect match… Read more »
