Get ready for another season of lesbian subtext now that TNT has renewed its summer darling Rizzoli & Isles. The procedural that stars Angie Harmon as a brash detective and Sasha Alexander as a brainy M.E. has been renewed for a new season along with other TNT summer dramas including Major Crimes, Falling Skies and Perception, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Rizzoli & Isles, currently in its fourth season, is the number one ranking basic cable series for total viewers for summer, THR reports.
A favorite among lesbian viewers, Rizzoli & Isles has continually played up the chemistry between its stars, culminating with a lesbian subtext-laden promo poster for the fourth season. About the same time the promo poster was released Buzzfeed deemed the series “The Gayest Non-Gay Show on Television.”
Here’s to another season of deciphering the winks and nudges between Harmon’s Rizzoli and Alexander’s Isles!
