Picking up where The Closer leaves off, Major Crimes will center on what it takes to secure an airtight conviction, exploring how the police and prosecutors work together to build a solid case that will result in a suspect confessing, signing a plea agreement, or being found guilty in a court of law.

Join Captain Sharon Raydor as the new head of Major Crimes, the special unit of the LAPD that handles sensitive, high-profile murder cases.

The final 6 episodes of "The Closer" lead directly into this spin-off series starring Mary McDonnell. A large portion of the "Closer" cast will be retained.
