'The Closer' is an American crime drama, starring Kyra Sedgwick as Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson, a Georgia police detective who arrives in Los Angeles to lead the Priority Murder Squad, later renamed Priority Homicide Division and currently called Major Crimes Division , a team that originally (seasons 1 � 4) dealt with high profile murder cases.

The Closer was created by James Duff and the Shephard/Robin Company in association with Warner Bros. Television. Currently in its sixth season, it remains cable's highest rated drama and has been renewed for a seventh season.

On December 10, 2010, TNT announced that the upcoming seventh season of The Closer, due to begin production in spring 2011, will be the show's last. The channel said that the decision to retire the show was made by Kyra Sedgwick.

On January 30, 2011, the media announced that the final season would add six episodes to the usual fifteen episode order, the final six being the build toward a possible spin-off series. On May 18, 2011, TNT announced that the spin-off, entitled Major Crimes and starring Mary McDonnell as Captain Sharon Raydor, had been picked up for a 10-episode season.

David Sides playing a piano cover of "Closer" by Ne-Yo. Song Description: "Closer" is a 2008 Single by American pop/R&B singer Ne-Yo. The song was produced by Stargate.[3] The song was released as the first single from his third album Year of the Gentleman. It reached #1 in the UK, scoring Ne-Yo his second UK No.1 following 2006's So Sick.

Verse 1: Turn the lights off in this place And she shines just like a star And I swear I know her face I just don't know who you are Turn the music up in here I still hear her loud and clear Like she's right there in my ear Telling me that She wants to own me To control me Come closer Come closer Chorus: And I just can't pull myself away Under her spell I can't break I just cant stop I just cant stop I just cant stop I just cant stop And I just can't bring myself away But I don't want to escape I just can't stop I just can't stop I just can't stop I just can't stop I just can't stop Verse 2: I can feel her on my skin I can taste her on my tongue Shes the sweetest taste of sin The more I get the more I want She wants to own me Come closer She says "come closer" Chorus: And I just can't pull myself away Under her spell I can't break I just cant stop I just cant <b>...</b>
