TNT is expanding the run of Major Crimes‘ fifth season.

The cable network has handed out an eight episode back order to the Mary McDonnell fronted procedural, TVWise has confirmed. With the additional order, the show’s fifth season will now consist of 21 episodes. News of the back order was first reported by TV Line.

Major Crimes, which is TNT’s flagship show now that Rizzoli & Isles is coming to an end, has earned a back order beyond its initial pick up every season since its sophomore run in 2013. The show’s fourth season received its largest order to date, when the network expanded the run to 23 episodes.

This eight episodes back order comes after a mere two episodes from the show’s fifth season have aired. The season premiere opened to 3.62 million viewers and a 0.4 A18-49 rating, making it the fourth highest rated cable series for the week in total viewers. The second episode, which aired this past Monday, grew week-over-week, averaging 3.65 million viewers and a 0.5 A18-49 rating.

TVWise understands that TNT plans to air the fifth season of Major Crimes in two distinct runs, with the initial thirteen episode order going out over the Summer, with the additional eight episodes following in Winter 2016. Owing to their long running deal with Warner Bros. International Television Distribution, Universal Channel continues to hold UK rights to the show with plans to air the fifth season this Autumn.

Take a look in the gallery for HD screencaptures from last episode of Major Crimes. This was a very tough episode, with strong and sensitive content, but absolutely worth watching. If you haven’t yet I suggest you to have a look at it, as soon as possible. Enjoy the caps.

Take a look in the gallery for HQ still of Mary from Monday’s episode of Major Crimes. There is some talking with Rusty, maybe about moving in with Andy? Who knows.
Also I added two more stills on the first episode album, take a look!

Hello my dear followers. As I always try to encourage you and work together in sharing and enjoy this time together, I’m posting today a very interesting project from my friend Christine Rogers who made a review on Mary’s podcast and the first episode of season 5 of Major Crimes. I was very interested in her idea and I’m happy to share with you because it’s REALLY good to listen to it.

Admin Note: This is a personal point of view, which doesn’t want to be an imposition of her opinions on yours. There are some points in this audio I don’t agree with and still Christine and I are friends. This is being said because we’d love to read your thoughts, you can comment here, under this post and we’d really love that BUT, every comment is moderated by me and I will not, under any circumstance, allow any bashing, or insulting, or anything against Christine and her thoughts. I want it to be clear. We can all have a discussion abotu how we feel in harmony and peace.

So listen and comment. Enjoy!

An epic night, with Rizzoli & Isles and following Major Crimes.

Here we are with caps from first episode caps of season 5. As soon as bigger and better quality is available I’ll switch but for now, still HD is. Present Tense was very intense and strong episode. Revealed many emotions and opened a look on the whole team personal feelings. If you didn’t see it yet I strongly recommend you to.

The Major Crimes squad investigates the mysterious disappearance of a teenage girl, who vanished while volunteering at a homeless shelter, while Buzz cracks open the decades old cold case file on the murder of his father and uncle. Andy Flynn considers selling his house.
