1.04-58-flynn provenza raydor fritzThere’s a lot to look forward to in the winter episodes of Major Crimes!

We are thrilled to report that Stacey K. Black will also be returning to direct episode 16 of season two, slated to air in December (as previously reported, the episode will also feature the return of Jon Tenney, reprising his role as Fritz Howard).

Along with directing last years fan-favorite episode “Cheater’s Never Prosper”, and working as the Major Crimes Department Head Hair Stylist, Black also created and directed the weekly Major Crimes Season 2 Video Blogs, which feature the cast and crew of Major Crimes answering questions about the show. Black previously directed two episodes of The Closer. 

The winter season of Major Crimes returns to TNT on Monday, November 25th.

Major Crimes’ Stacey K. Black Needs Your Help for the Season 2 Blog!



1.02 bts1If you’ve ever had a burning question about the process of making Major Crimes and wanted it answered, now you have your chance!

For season 2, Stacey K. Black is taking her weekly blog about the show on TNT’s website, and opening it up to your questions!

From the Major Crimes Blog Season 2 Contest facebook page:

“I have been writing the On-Set blog for the TNT website since season 5 of The Closer, and this year, for my blog for season 2 of Major Crimes, I would like to include you! If you would like to be a part of my new amazing idea, here’s what you must do.

Email me three questions, and make them good ones!

1. One question for one member of the Cast of Major Crimes.
2. One question for one Writer, Producer, or Director of Major Crimes.
3. One question for one Crew Member on Major Crimes. You can go onto the imdb page and see who does what job, for the most part, by following this link

I need three questions from you. One of each. I also need a photo of you, and a brief bio.

I will go through all of the questions and find the most interesting, thought-provoking, and/or amusing questions, and feature one for every episode. If one of your questions is selected, you will be featured in my blog on TNT’s website, which will be posted the day after each episode airs.

Doesn’t that sound awesome? I’m super excited about this. I want to spotlight you guys who tune in every week and let us know how much you love the show!

And if you have been reading my blogs, then you know that I am all about giving love to the people on the crew. The actors, producers, writers, directors, etc. get mucho attention already, because their jobs are considered pretty damn glamorous (which they are). So if you want to up your chances of being selected, send me a really good question for a crew member!

Please gather your three questions, your photo (smile!), and your bio, and email it all to me at MajorCrimesBlogSKB@yahoo.com

I am really excited about this, y’all! Let’s do it up right!

Thank you,
Stacey K. Black”

Spotlight on Major Crimes’ Stacey K. Black

In a new interview, Mimosa Arts blog talks to Stacey K. Black about her work and passions in music, documentary film and television, and her unlikely transition from hair stylist to director on The Closer and now, Major Crimes.

During season 3 of The Closer, I approached Exec. Producer/Director Mike Robin and asked if he would consider me as a director, if and when they started to promote from within the company. I knew it was a long shot, because its just not done. Promoting a hairstylist to director? Its not. But I thought, well its not done, until it IS done. So, I just had to ask, and I gave him my short films to watch. If I didn’t, then the answer would automatically be no. Three years later, a couple weeks before we started shooting season 6, I was called in to the producer’s office, and greeted by Exec. Producers Mike Robin, Greer Shephard, James Duff, Rick Wallace, and Kyra Sedgwick, so they could all tell me that I was going to be directing an episode that season. It was surreal!
