"Major Crimes" Spin-off "S.O.B." isn't Moving Forward, Says TNT Boss

"S.O.B." is D.O.A. at TNT.
The proposed "Major Crimes" spin-off centered around the S.O.B. (Special Operations Bureau) tactical unit and starring Jon Tenney and Laurie Holden (who has since joined NBC’s "Chicago Med") is not moving forward, Turner Entertainment Networks CEO Kevin Reilly tells TVLine.
While lauding "Major Crimes" — which is itself of course an offshoot of the Kyra Sedgwick-fronted "The Closer" — as “such a valuable show for us,” Reilly said of "S.O.B.", “We’re not doing that. We’ve moved on.”
"Major Crimes" creator James Duff planted the seed for "S.O.B." in August 2014, with the crime drama’s Season 3A finale — which aired just weeks before Michael Wright’s exit as head of TNT/TBS was announced.
During that months-long transition of leadership, Duff acknowledged, there was “a halt in the forward motion of everything.”
