Rizzoli & Isles is produced for TNT by Warner Horizon Television and Bill Haber's Ostar Productions, with Haber and showrunner Jan Nash serving as executive producers.

Based on characters created by best-selling crime novelist Tess Gerritsen and developed for television by Janet Tamaro, the series stars Harmon as Jane Rizzoli, "a tough-as-nails Boston police detective," and Alexander as Maura Isles, "a smart, impeccably dressed medical examiner from a privileged background," press notes said.

"Despite being complete opposites, the two women share an offbeat chemistry, an authentic and deep friendship and a unique working relationship that, together, helps them to solve the most complex murder mysteries in the city of Boston."
