News Briefs: Major Crimes Season 1 Marathon and Mary McDonnell Discusses Season 2



tomberengerset- TNT will be airing an encore of Major Crimes season 1- all ten episodes- before the season 2 premiere on June 10th.  Check local listings for the exact start times, but in most markets the marathon, starting with the season 1 premiere episode “Reloaded” will begin at 11am, and continue all day until the season 2 premiere at 9pm/8c.

- In a new interview with Celebrity Extra (part of a larger piece that will be released later this week) Mary McDonnell talks about her character’s long-estranged ex-husband, Jackson Raydor, that Tom Berenger has been brought on to portray.

“We’ve worked together before, so we knew that working together again would be awesome,” she said. “He’s been on the set for the past couple of weeks, and it’s been absolutely great! It is exciting because we learn more about Raydor’s past. As we learn about her and how she deals with this personal relationship in her life, we get a much more revealing picture of the woman. The more I find out about her past, the more I understand her present.”

About the new season, McDonnell also says: “We are about to finish shooting episode No. 5, so we have a good sense of at least the beginning of the season, and I can tell you we’re pretty excited. It’s fantastic. It’s new, and it’s interesting, and it’s complicated. I don’t want to give away too much, but let’s just say there’s a lot to be learned, and it’s been tremendous fun to shoot.”
