All six seasons of the TNT police procedural Major Crimes will stream on Netflix in the United States starting September 3, 2026, according to reporting by What’s On Netflix and ComingSoon.net. The upcoming release marks the first time the 105-episode series will be available on the platform, bringing the complete run to American subscribers at once.
Licensing Deals Bring Classic Cable Series to Streaming
The addition of Major Crimes continues an ongoing wave of Warner Bros. Television licensing agreements that have introduced several classic cable dramas to Netflix over the past year. This release follows Netflix’s addition of The Closer late last year. According to data cited by ComingSoon.net, The Closer performed strongly after its platform debut, accumulating 221.1 million viewing hours and 19.8 million views while spending nine days in the daily US top 10.
Cast and Creative Shift in the Spin-Off
Premiering in 2012 immediately following the finale of The Closer, Major Crimes continues the story of the Los Angeles Police Department’s Major Crimes Division. Two-time Oscar nominee Mary McDonnell stars as Captain Sharon Raydor. Raydor steps in as division head following the exit of Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson. While the predecessor focused heavily on Johnson’s talent for coaxing confessions, Major Crimes follows Raydor’s procedural leadership style. The team concentrates on securing convictions through plea deals amidst the pressures of a politically sensitive and budget-strapped justice system.
Much of the original ensemble returns for the spin-off. The cast features G.W. Keene. They are joined by newer additions including Kearran Giovanni and Graham Patrick Martin, rounding out the ensemble for the show’s six-season run.
Streaming Details and Release Format
All 105 episodes of Major Crimes drop simultaneously on September 3, 2026. As reported by ComingSoon.net, no other regional release dates have been confirmed by Netflix at this time. For viewers who finished streaming The Closer, the arrival of Major Crimes provides a direct narrative continuation just ahead of the fall viewing season.
