The Closer's Seventh Season Will Be Its Last

In a press release today, TNT announced that next season's The Closer, its seventh, will be its last.

“It’s impossible to fully express our appreciation to Kyra Sedgwick, series creator James Duff and all of the other talented people who brought The Closer to TNT viewers,” said Steve Koonin, president of Turner Entertainment Networks. “The Closer was a pivotal series in setting a new course for TNT’s original programming, while also serving as a prime example of the storytelling strength possible on cable television.”

Kyra Sedgwick won an Emmy this year for her performance on the series.

Production for the 15-episode final season will begin next spring.
