TNT Renews 'Murder in the First' for Season 2

After a fairly successful inaugural run, TNT has opted to renew its summer crime drama 'Murder in the First' for a second season. Season 2 will once again consist of 10 episodes, and will once again focus on a season-spanning investigation of a murder case. Whether the lead detective characters played by Kathleen Robertson and Taye Diggs will return to tackle next year's mystery is currently unclear.

'Murder in the First' joins fellow freshman drama 'The Last Ship' in the renewal category, along with TNT veterans 'Major Crimes' and Falling Skies.' This leaves recently premiered Sean Bean drama 'Legends' and popular Eric McCormack vehicle 'Perception' as the only original TNT dramas with an uncertain future.
