TNT Hands Out Renewals to 'Ship', 'Skies', 'Crimes'

[Mark Jeffries]

The Amblin co-produced SFer "Falling Skies" will be back for its fifth and final summer with 10 eps next year on the Turner channel, along with the Michael Bay pirate drama "The Last Ship" (13 eps in its second season), both shows that seem to have TNT shaking off its blue sky procedural image, and a fourth 15-ep season for the "Closer" spinoff "Major Crimes," second in cable to fellow TNT series "Rizzoli & Isles," which indicates that they haven't really shaken off that blue sky procedural image:

And in case anyone from EW or its satellite radio channel is reading this, Angie Harmon is Rizzoli and Sasha Alexander is Isles.  Boom.

I thought "The Last Ship" was a military drama set in the not-too-distant post-pandemic future...?

[Doug Fields]

You're correct. I initially read the "pirate drama" comment as snarky sarcasm, but now you've got me thinking Mark made a mistake. :)

I got it mixed up with the Michael Bay show on Starz.  Oops.

That's "Black Sails", not to be confused with "Blackbeard" on NBC.

While Blackbeard is the lead, the program is called Crossbones.  Don't know why.

Probably for the same reason that Blackbeard's beard is gray.
