The show was based on the Women's Murder Club books by James Patterson.
Canceled after only one season due to its poor ratings.
This show faced tough competition on Friday nights, and some moderately critical reviews, but did well enough to be considered for another season ... until the writer's strike from Nov. 5, 2007 to Feb. 12, 2008 destroyed any chance of that.
Rizzoli & Isles creator Janet Tamaro said many times in interviews that, because of Angie Harmon's work as Lindsay Boxer, Angie was her first and only choice to play Jane Rizzoli.
