Classic Procedural “Major Crimes” Brings All 6 Seasons to Netflix’s September Lineup

Netflix’s early‑September catalog updates aren’t just about shiny new originals. One of the most notable library additions is the long‑running crime procedural “Major Crimes,” a US network drama that originally spun off from “The Closer” back in 2012. According to multiple Netflix release calendars for the U.S. region, all six seasons are slated to arrive on September 3, instantly giving subscribers a hefty stack of case‑of‑the‑week viewing.

Set inside the Los Angeles Police Department’s Major Crimes Division, the series balances self‑contained investigations with slow‑burn character arcs, touching on family dynamics, moral gray areas, and internal department politics. Japanese viewers may know it primarily from DVD releases or cable and satellite reruns, so having the entire run available on a major subscription platform is a significant shift. For fans of detailed police procedurals, “Major Crimes” offers exactly the sort of long‑form, semi‑comfort viewing that’s ideal for background watching over many evenings. Availability of Japanese subtitles or dubbing has yet to be fully detailed, but the Netflix rollout could spark renewed interest in this sturdy, character‑driven franchise.
