It looks like TNT might be spinning-off a series from Major Crimes, which is itself a spin-off from The Closer. This potential spin-off would focus on Agent Fitz Howard (actor Jon Tenney), a character introduced in The Closer – married to Brenda Leigh Johnson (actress Kyra Sedgwick) and also appeared in a few episode of Major Crimes. The potential spin-off could also possibly include actor Malcolm Jamal Warner (The Cosby Show), who has appeared in several episode of Major Crimes. No confirmation has been made by TNT as yet though. (Michael Ausiello at TV Line)
