The basic cable network has ordered new episodes of The Last Ship, Major Crimes and Falling Skies, following the success of all three shows this summer.

All three feature in the Top 5 scripted series with total viewers and adults aged 25-54, and have helped TNT establish itself as the number one cable network in primetime this summer to-date.

Michael Bay's The Last Ship will return for a second season of 13 episodes, which is up from the ten episodes commissioned for season one. A total of 15 new episodes of Major Crimes will air as part of its fourth season.

Meanwhile, Falling Skies will air a 10-episode fifth and final season.

Michael Wright, TNT's president of programming, said: "TNT's refreshed and recharged drama brand is soaring this summer, and that is due in large part to these three enormously popular dramas.

"The Last Ship has become this summer's top drama among key adult demos with its epic scale and visceral storytelling. Major Crimes continues to be one of the most enduring and popular crime-drama franchises on television.

"And Falling Skies has begun an ambitious and thrilling story arc this summer as it sets the stage for next year's climactic final season," he added.


I hate the way TNT breaks up its shows with pop-up ads and logos.
