Major Crimes - TNT developing planted Spin-Off focusing on Agent Fritz Howard

20 May 2014

Share on Reddit
TVLine has learned exclusively that the cable net is developing a planted offshoot of Major Crimes (itself a descendant of The Closer) that would focus on franchise vet Jon Tenney‘s FBI agent character.

Tenney originated the role of Special Agent Fritz Howard on The Closer, and has brought the character over to Crimes on several occasions (sans his onscreen wife, “The Closer’ herself, former MCD boss Brenda Leigh Johnson, played by Kyra Sedgwick).

Tenney, as well as a handful of new characters — including Special Operations Bureau commander Ann McGinnis, described as a modern-day Annie Oakley — will be featured in the seventh episode of Major Crimes‘ upcoming third season (bowing June 9).

There’s also buzz that the potential spin-off could prominently feature another Closer alum — Malcolm-Jamal Warner, who debuted mid Season 2 as Lt. Chuck Cooper, a SIS (Special Investigation Section) supervisor who was brought in to help protect Raydor’s ward Rusty from a stalker.

  1. I don't know what to say to that news. At first it sounds good, but when you think about it this is a third spin off from The Closer. What would it be next Brenda Lee Jones's show about before she got to LA, or maybe Provenca's yearly years.

  2. Spin-off of a spin-off?
    Major Crimes ratings aren't high enough to warrant a spin-off.

  3. I'd rather see Fritz as a regular on Major Crimes.

  5. I'd be ok with it.... if it were based on some else from the show.... for me at least he's not even a rememberable character.. I had to go back just to see who he even was..

  8. Fritz but no Brenda Lee? It's hard enough seeing him in Major Crimes without her.

  9. Does that mean King and Maxwell was definitely not picked up? I've been wondering but not lookign too hard.

    instead of a spinoff it better to just revive King and Maxwell......
