Rizzoli & Isles Season 8 is no longer be a possibility after TNT’s decision to cancel the procedural, but executive producer Jan Nash believes the show’s seventh and final season is able to serve as a “satisfying” series ender, per TVGuide:
“We certainly had an inkling [the show would be cancelled] when they ordered 13 [episodes] rather than the usual 16 or 18. We figured that might be the way this would play out. We designed Season 7 so that it could act as a series finale or just B story lines that we pull back on at the end to have them continue on. But I think with where we left off and what we already had planned work in our favor [going into the final season].”
She added:
“This is a very close-knit group. I think there’s a lot of gratitude for having been on such a long-running, successful show. I think we really just want to go out having a wonderful experience doing the work we love so much but also trying to make something the large and loyal audience of this show will enjoy. That has been our mantra. It’s hard to say goodbye. I’ve been on shows that have had long runs and it’s hard to come to [the] end of something, but it is certainly much more satisfying to be able to do it in a way where you can plan and feel like you got to service the characters properly.”

Rizzoli and Isles is a very entertaining show. I do not like reality shows. When I watch television I like to be entertained i like to laugh. the cast is a good fit.
If cable keeps canceling shows I like I can cancel cable and save my self a lot if money
S Fish says
The reason given is an insult to the writers – it is like saying they cannot continue writing well after the 7th season

Another bone headed move by tv executives. They cancel good television shows for garbage. I am cancelling my satellite tv and going to a antenna and Netflix. This is what they have done to a lot of people. Why should we pay our hard earned money for garbage?

I taught the way it was going, it would be a long lasting show like law and order shows. Everyone in the show just fit perfect. It’s meant to last not cancel. I agree with others who ever cancel it should be the one cancel (fired).. It’s never to late to renew for more seasons.
