“Warehouse 13” (9 p.m., Syfy): “Warehouse 13” opens a new season with a new face among the cast. He’s Aaron Ashmore (“Smallville”), who plays a young ATF agent with an innate knack of detecting when someone is lying.
“THE CLOSER” (9 p.m., TNT): A dire day of reckoning appears to be in the cards for Deputy Police Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson (Kyra Sedgwick) as this highly popular crime drama moves into its seventh and final season. Over the years, our tougher-than-she-looks heroine has put a bevy of brutal killers behind bars, but she’s often done so with unorthodox and highly questionable tactics. Now, those tactics are being scrutinized by the LAPD’s new police chief (Courtney B. Vance), who is on the verge of implementing an extensive reorganization that could spell the end of Brenda’s unit. “The Closer” will launch its farewell season with 10 episodes this summer and then return with additional episodes in the winter.
“Rizzoli & Isles” (10 p.m., TNT): The wildly successful cop show “Rizzoli & Isles” launches Season 2 with Rizzoli (Angie Harmon) returning to work after shooting herself to save her brother. But more trauma is pending as she discovers that her parents are getting a divorce.
