Hot off the press!
We’re delighted to hear that TNT have commissioned a new series based on Tess Gerritsen’s bestselling Rizzoli & Isles thrillers! The show will be airing in the US in summer 2010 and we’re hoping it will follow on UK screens shortly after.
With a working title of Rizzoli & Isles, Angie Harmon will be playing Jane Rizzoli, a Boston detective who works closely with medical examiner Maura Isles (Sasha Alexander).
Also starring in the series are Lorraine Bracco (The Sopranos) playing a recurring role as Jane’s mother, Lee Thompson Young (FlashForward), who plays Jane’s current partner, Barry Frost; Bruce McGill (Law Abiding Citizen) as Det. Vince Korsak, Jane’s seasoned former partner; Jordan Bridges (Dawson’s Creek) as Jane’s brother, Frankie, a patrol cop who hopes to become a detective; and Billy Burke (The Twilight Saga) as FBI agent Gabriel Dean.
Here’s what the show’s producers have to say:
“TNT is home to some of television’s most powerful female characters, and RIZZOLI & ISLES certainly fits that identity. We’re delighted to be working with Angie, Sasha and the rest of the talented cast of RIZZOLI & ISLES as well as the show’s outstanding production team, as we bring Tess Gerritsen’s vision to television.”

Congrats to Harmon and Alexander. Now there’s a pair of names I like! I’m a big fan of NCIS and hated to see Kate leave, although it was a great way to go! Of course Law & Order is a staple as well, so this looks like the most promising TV to come down the pike in a long time. Sure beats NCIS-LA to pieces. Now I have to get the books… =]
