Remember how TNT announced last August that the otherworldly Holly Hunter cop drama Saving Grace will present its fourth and final season this summer? Well, now the network is apparently taking that scheduling back.
According to television-industry website The Futon Critic, TNT has confirmed that fans will get to see the series’ nine-episode farewell months earlier than originally indicated.
How much earlier, you ask? Well, how about a kick off at the end of next month?
Yep, you read that correctly. The last season of Saving Grace is now set to bow on Monday, March 29, at 9pm ET, with two back-to-back new episodes, the season premiere “Let’s Talk” and “Hear the Birds.”
The show’s regular time slot will be Mondays at 10pm, however, an hour it will move to the following week, on April 5, with the third episode of the finale season called “You Can’t Save Them All, Grace.”
As with Men of a Certain Age currently, viewers will have to put up with a brief sports-related programming interruption starting on April 19. That’s when TNT will begin dedicating Mondays to airing the NBA playoffs, and there’s no word yet on exactly when Saving Grace will resume its run.
