The network has renewed Rizzoli & Isles for a fourth season, the Turner-owned cabler announced Friday.

The drama, which stars Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander as a Boston police detective and medical examiner, respectively, has been a solid performer for the network this summer, ranking as the No. 1 returning scripted series on basic cable. In its new time slot at 9 p.m. Tuesdays, the series is averaging 7.1 million viewers. TNT has ordered 15 episodes for 2013.

"Anchoring a new night in its third season, Rizzoli & Isles has proven itself to be a strong and enduring hit, not only in terms of the great storylines and performances but also in terms of the show's stellar ratings," said Michael Wright, president and head of programming for TNT, TBS and Turner Classic Movies (TCM). "We're thrilled that Rizzoli & Isles will continue to be a vital part of the TNT lineup."

The Warner Horizon Television show this summer is averaging 2 million viewers in the advertiser-coveted adults 18-49 demographic when factoring in Live+3 numbers. The series continues to be an anchor of TNT's original drama lineup, where it stands to become the heir apparent after The Closer ends its seven-season run this year.

沪江娱乐快讯：TNT电视台听到了观众们的呼声。因为这家时代华纳旗下的付费电视台近日宣布续订《妙女神探》（Rizzoli & Isles）第四季。

这部由安吉·哈蒙（Angie Harmon）与萨莎·亚历山大（Sasha Alexander）主演，讲述波士顿一名女警官与一名女法医的工作生活的TNT警匪剧在今年夏季美剧中的表现十分亮眼，收视率名列各基本收费频道回归剧集的榜首。尽管被调整到每周四晚9点播出，《妙女神探》平均每一集仍吸引到了710万观众。因此，TNT台已经续订了第四季，该季共有15集，将于2013年播出。

“《妙女神探》第三季在全新的播出时间中的优异表现预示着它将成为一部影响力广泛而且持久的热门剧集。其原因不仅在于该剧精彩的剧情与演员们的精湛演技，还在于该剧的超高收视率。”身兼TNT与TBS的董事长以及特纳经典电影节目总编的迈克尔·怀特（Michael Wright）说。“我们很高兴看到《妙女神探》仍是TNT台的重点剧集之一。”

另外，华纳视野电视(Warner Horizon Television)的收视率统计数据显示今夏收看该剧的710万观众中平均有200万观众属于最受广告商重视的18至49岁的年龄段。并且《妙女神探》带动后续TNT原创剧集收视率的重要作用也证明了其是《罪案终结》（The Closer）第七季（季终季）今年完结之后的最佳接班人。
