TVGuide.com reports that TNT President Kevin Reilly confirmed the news at today's Television Critics Association winter previews that the long-running series RIZZOLI AND ISLES will end its run following Season 7. .

Reilly shared that it was a mutual decision made among the show's stars, Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander and the producers. "Everyone said, 'Let's all go out and finish 13 great ones and call it a day,'" Reilly said. "Everyone felt good about that."

The final season, consisting of 13 episodes, will premiere this summer.

Based on characters created by best-selling crime novelist Tess Gerritsen and developed for television by Janet Tamaro, Rizzoli & Isles stars Harmon as Jane Rizzoli, a tough-as-nails Boston police detective, and Alexander as Maura Isles, a smart, impeccably dressed medical examiner from a privileged background. Despite being complete opposites, the two women share an offbeat chemistry, an authentic and deep friendship and a unique working relationship that together, helps them to solve the most complex murder mysteries in the city of Boston.

Rizzoli & Isles also stars Jordan Bridges as Jane's brother, Detective Frankie Rizzoli Jr.; Bruce McGill as Sgt. Detective Vince Korsak, Jane's steady old-school Homicide Squad teammate; Idara Victor as crime-scene analyst Nina Holiday; and Lorraine Bracco as Angela, Jane's meddling mother.
