“Major Crimes” Marathon Coming this Weekend

L-r: Nadine Velazquez, Raymond Cruz, Tony Denison and Mary McDonnell in Major Crimes

Major Crimes, with Raymond Cruz, Jonathan del Arco, and Nadine Velazquez, returns on Monday…preceded by every single episode of the previous season, beginning the day before.

Good news for summer viewing any way you look at it: Spike TV will lead into the third season of Major Crimes, the successful spin-off/successor to The Closer, with a 19-hour marathon of the entire previous season. It begins on Sunday, June 8 at 2A and continues uninterrupted right up to the Season Three premiere on Monday, June 9 at 9P.

Jonathan del Arco Major Crimes

The Closer/Major Crimes dynasty has been ‘Latino-friendly’ since Kyra Sedgwick, J.K. Simmons and company sauntered onto cable TV ‘way back in 2005. Raymond Cruz has been part of the team since that first episode, including time off for a memorable turn on Breaking Bad. In recent years, Jonathan del Arco joined up in 2009 as the coroner Dr. Morales, and even more recently, Nadine Velazquez has appeared as D.D.A. Emma Rios. A wide range of other Latino actors, from regulars like Gina Ravera and Stephen Martines to a long line of guest stars, have been featured as well.

Welcome news for the early summer season where there’s so little worth watching anywhere on the dial.
