There will be 62 percent more Major Crimes for Sharon Raydor and her team to solve this season than originally planned.
TVLine has learned exclusively that the recently premiered Season 5 of the TNT crime drama has been expanded by eight episodes, to a total of 21.
The offshoot of The Closer last season delivered a whopping 23 episodes, a series high, as the result of late-August order of five additional hours (which aired as a “standalone” arc this past winter).
Major Crimes airs Mondays at 10/9c, leading out of Rizzoli & Isles‘ seventh and final season.
