TNT Renews Rizzoli & Isles for Shortened Season 7


Good news! If you still don't know which pretty lady is Rizzoli and which one is Isles, you'll have at least one more season to get your act together! TNT has renewed the long-running drama Rizzoli & Isles for a shortened seventh season, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Scheduled to air in summer 2016, Season 7 will consist of 13 episodes, which is down from 18 in Season 6 but still more than its initial 10-episode run. 

THR also reports that the shortened episode order does not necessarily spell doom for the series, as there is no indication this upcoming season will be the show's last. The Angie Harmon/Sasha Alexander drama is currently less than halfway through its sixth season, and its most recent episode notched 6.3 million total viewers in Live+3 Day viewing, making it the most-watched show on cable.

Are you excited for more Rizzoli and more Isles?

The one amazing thing I find about this show that for the entire show's history. They have NEVER had a black perp. I have a prediction about next season: based on the recent history of white cops being assassinated by black thugs, an episode will open with an apparent case of the same, complete with CCTV footage of the crime. The perp will turn out to be a white man (probably white supremacist or Tea Partier) wearing a black man mask looking to start a race war.

I enjoy the show, it's light & fun.

I'd prefer they'd had an arc per season but that's me.

5 episode difference isn't that big of a deal, honestly I enjoy it more when it was one season and they didn't bring it back twice a year for split seasons...

One of my guilty pleasures but I feel like I'm not enjoying this season as much as I enjoyed the prior ones.

plot for this season has been really bad.

13 episodes is fine for a year now that they don't have story arcs and are just repeating the same beats over and over. And truthfully, I don't think I'd mind if the show stopped rather than had an intended series finale, these characters don't need a button put on their lives, the show has only small incremental changes in their existences so let the audience imagine them doing what they do forever, or Korsak retiring to play guitar and run The Dirty Robber, whatever head-canon each viewer wants. Too many series finales try so hard lately to be important that they damage the brand (lookin' at you, "How I Met Your Mother").

I sorely miss Perception.

this one can still be painful to watch everytime the extra who just lost someone is expected to cry on cue and the like but the eye candy that is Idara Victor and Tina Huang has made it that much easier to watch,

someone tell angie to put on some wait please. and quit with the cosmetic whatever too. sasha's probably having some facial work done too and while it's less noticeable on her fuller (healthier) face she should stop too.

Ugh, you really are trying to call out Angie Harmon for being her own weight and plastic surgery? She's 42, slender and looks fine for someone in her 40s, she looks totally normal, that's such a jerk move. She's looked underweight in the past but doesn't now.

For 42, I think she's pretty hot. Granted, I'm 36, so there's not a huge age difference there.

Also, Tina Huang's character was killed off recently. And I agree about Sasha Alexander, but imo she was more attractive for some reason while she was on NCIS.

it would be nice if you didn't share information other people might not know about a show like tina huangs character being killed off. not without preempting it with a spoiler notification anyway.

That was like 3 weeks ago now. But yeah, I guess there are some people that get real backed up on their DVR viewing, even during the summer...

Apologies to Sasha Alexander for not defending her, she looks fine and non-plastic too.

I have mixed feelings about this. I'm happy that I'll continue to see Sasha and Angie together on screen but then I feel, well if it continues with the lame crimes, Jane always being the victim and the constant Rizzoli family dramas (mostly Angela) then why bother with a 7th season? Don't get me wrong, I love the girls, Korsak, Susie and Nina and I want to continue to see them on screen but something changed when Jan took over. Ratings, despite being one of TNT's high ranking shows, are down. So something needs to change, I'm not sure what but something needs to change. I've love to see Titus' character back for an episode and even Rondo. I know in season six will get to see a part of Maura's family but I mean the show is called Rizzoli AND Isles... so can we please include Maura in more things that don't revolved around the Rizzoli family all the time? please? Jesus...it's like the woman doesn't have a life without them. Okay maybe she doesn't I don't know but it seems like 2 Rizzolis are living with her at all times LOL

Okay as I said, I have mixed feelings about this but for now I'll go with a YAY and say, I'm actually surprised they renewed it but I wouldn't be surprised is, despite it's viewership, season 7 is the last.
