The Closer , starring Kyra Sedgwick as the aforementioned Deputy Chief in charge of the LAPD’s Priority Homicide Division, originally aired on TNT each summer from June 2005 through August 2012. One day after its series finale, the offshoot Major Crimes , headed by Mary McDonnell (as Captain Sharon Raydor), premiered on TNT (and ran for six seasons of its own).

Sedgwick’s Brenda — oft likened to an American take on Helen Mirren’s Jane Tennison of Prime Suspect — was a CIA-trained detective brought from Atlanta to Los Angeles to head up a unit of the LAPD that handles sensitive, high-profile murder cases. A world-class interrogator (and tough-minded Southern woman), Brenda had a knack for obtaining confessions, ergo the series’ title.

The Closer ‘s cast over its seven-season run included JK Simmons as Will Pope, Corey Reynolds as Sgt. David Gabriel, Robert Gossett as Capt. Russell Taylor, G.W. Bailey as Det. Louie Provenza, Anthony Denison as Det. Andy Flynn, Jon Tenney as FBI liaison Fritz Howard, Michael Paul Chan as Det. Michael Tao, Raymond Cruz as Det. Julio Sanchez, Gina Ravera as Det. Irene Daniels, Phillip P. Keene as Buzz Watson, and McDonnell as Raydor.

At the SAG Awards, the series’ cast was nominated five times for best ensemble, while Sedgwick collected seven nods for female actor in a drama.

The Closer was created by showrunner James Duff, Michael M. Robin and Greer Shephard.
