While most folks are thinking about spring, TNT is preparing for summer. That’s fine by me; I love summer, and I’m not just talking about the weather. Some of my favorite summer shows are on TNT and I’m thrilled to hear of their renewal.
My favorite crime fighting series, Rizzoli & Isles, Leverage, and Franklin & Bash, have all been renewed, as has Falling Skies. Along with these returning series are TNT’s brand new series, Dallas, Perception, and Major Crimes, as well as the reality competition show The Great Escape. Fans will also be saying goodbye to blockbuster drama series, The Closer, as it winds down with six final episodes.
According to Michael Wright, executive vice president, head of programming for TNT, TBS and Turner Classic Movies (TCM), “Each show in TNT’s summer lineup entertains in its own unique voice, but together these drama series are designed to appeal to viewers who want to be taken on a great ride. Whether it’s a clever procedural, an action-adventure drama, or a sweeping family saga, the dramas on TNT all have that popcorn sensibility. They’re meant for viewers who crave smart storytelling and engaging characters, and who above all else simply want to pull up a seat and have a good time.”
Listed below is TNT’s complete summer schedule, including series premiere dates.
Rizzoli & Isles – Tuesday, June 5, 9-10:00 pm ET/PT (ten episodes)
