Rizzoli & Isles gets a sixth season

TNT has disappointed a lot of viewers when they cancelled ‘Perception’, ‘Dallas’ en ‘Franklin & Bash’. But fans of ‘Rizzoli & Isles’ may rejoice: there will be a sixth season of the popular police series. The sixth season will have 18 episodes.

Based on characters created by best-selling crime novelist Tess Gerritsen, ‘Rizzoli & Isles’ stars Angie Harmon as Jane Rizzoli, a tough-as-nails Boston police detective, and Sasha Alexander as Maura Isles, a smart, impeccably dressed medical examiner from a privileged background. Despite being complete opposites, the two women share an offbeat chemistry, an authentic and deep friendship and a unique working relationship that together, helps them to solve the most complex murder mysteries in the city of Boston.

‘Rizzoli & Isles’ also stars Jordan Bridges as Jane’s brother, Detective Frankie Rizzoli Jr.; Bruce McGill as Sgt. Detective Vince Korsak, Jane’s steady old-school Homicide Squad teammate; Idara Victor as crime-scene analyst Nina Holiday; and Lorraine Bracco as Angela, Jane’s meddling mother.

On 17 February 2015, the final episodes of the fifth season will be broadcast. In the summer of 2015, the sixth season will premiere.
