Though there was no new episode this week, that didn’t keep Major Crimes from continuing to dominate in the ratings on two continents!

-Here in the U.S., last week’s summer finale of Major Crimes came in as one of basic cable’s Top 2 Scripted Programs for the week among total viewers, and in the Top 3 Dramas for the week with adults 25-54. In Live + 3 ratings, last weeks episode has risen to 6.7 million viewers, with 2.1 million adults 25-54, and 1.5 million adults 18-49, a 2% growth for both key demos. (source: TVbytheNumbers)

-In Live + 7 day ratings, episode 208 stayed steady with the increases seen for the previous week, topping out at 7.3 million total viewers and 2.1 million adults 25-54.

- Meanwhile in the United Kingdom, episode 202 of Major Crimes topped its own UK season 2 premiere numbers by 5%. That ranks as a new series high for Major Crimes on Universal Channel UK. Of the new high, TVWise noted that “ratings for Major Crimes hold steady, the series will be on track to outstrip Law & Order: Special Victims Unit to become Universal’s highest rated series.” (Source: TVWise)

Major Crimes has already been renewed for season 3, and season 2 will return to TNT on Monday, November 25th at 9pm/8c.
