The Closer (TV show) Pictures
"The Closer" Season 6 has been ordered and will return in summer 2010.
In 2005, TNT's "The Closer" TV show, starring Golden-globe winner Kyra Sedgwick, became the hottest new series on cable television, winning a legion of fans and stunning the industry with record ratings. "The Closer" (TNT) attracted an even bigger audience in 2006 and again in 2007, when "The Closer" season finale in September drew nearly 10 million viewers—a new cable record.
Now the ground-breaking series is back for a fourth season. "The Closer" TV show promises more drama this year as LAPD Deputy Police Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson faces new challenges both personally and professionally.
On "The Closer" TV show, Brenda (Sedgwick) is a former Atlanta detective who moved to Los Angeles to head a special police department unit that solves sensitive, high-profile murder cases. Brenda is a top-notch investigator and interrogator who pinpoints a suspect, traps them in their own lies and draws a confession.
Despite Brenda's brilliance as an interrogator in "The Closer" (TNT) she is hopeless at LAPD politics and her many successes are contrasted with the challenges this creates. Brenda also faces conflicts with her fiancé, FBI agent Fritz Howard (Jon Tenney) and her parents . On the lighter side, she constantly tries to overcome her love of sweets, fighting cravings that surface each time she passes a vending machine.
For the fourth season, "The Closer" TV show, will take viewers deeper into Brenda's life. "We are going to examine the issue of power, especially how much power we really have over our own lives," says show creator James Duff. "We live with the illusion that we are in control of our lives. Season 4 of "The Closer" TV series will start with Brenda tracking an arsonist, all while having a reporter follow her every move."
On the home front, Brenda and Fritz (Tenney) will struggle with moving into a new home, attempting to plan a wedding and getting closer despite Brenda's overwhelming need for independence and the demands of her job.
"The Closer" comes to TNT from The Shephard/Robin Company, in association with Warner Bros. Television . The series is executive-produced by Greer Shephard ("Nip/Tuck," "The D.A."), Michael M. Robin ("Nip/Tuck," "The D.A.," "NYPD Blue") and Duff ("The D.A.," "The Agency"). "The Closer" also is produced by Sedgwick and Andrew J. Sacks ("The D.A.," "Adaptation," "Two Soldiers").
While Brenda is the heart of the series, "The Closer" features a stellar cast that has twice been nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award as an ensemble. In addition to Tenney, the cast includes J.K. Simmons, Corey Reynolds, Robert Gossett, G.W. Bailey, Tony Denison, Raymond Cruz, Michael Paul Chan, Gina Ravera and Phillip P. Keene.
On "The Closer," Simmons plays Assistant Police Chief Will Pope. He is Brenda's ally, but his support is sometimes limited by his own troubles, including a nasty divorce and an inappropriate relationship with a woman who later was a victim in a crime Brenda investigated. Brenda's closest aide is Sgt. David Gabriel (Reynolds), while the cantankerous Detective Lt. Provenza (Bailey) and the slick Lt. Andy Flynn (Denison) constantly land in awkward positions, including a funeral in which a dropped casket revealed a second corpse.
On "The Closer," Lt. Mike Tao (Chan) relishes his role as the squad's expert in technical matters. Detective Julio Sanchez (Cruz) uses his extensive knowledge of Los Angeles gang culture to help close cases. Detective Irene Daniels (Ravera) serves as the team's forensic accountant while Buzz (Keene) runs things in the electronics room. Commander Taylor (Gossett) heads the Robbery Homicide Division and still resents that Brenda was hired over him.
