Southland may find a place on TNT’s schedule after NBC’s surprise cancellation before the gritty cop drama could even start its sophomore season. According to The Hollywood Reporter, talks are “advancing” between TNT and the series’ studio, Warner Bros. TV. The two sides share a corporate parent, which could make the switch even easier. The critically lauded show, starring Benjamin McKenzie as a rookie police officer, had shot six episodes for the new season before NBC shut it down last week before airing any of them.

Oh please let this be true! Best drama on TV last season with an awesome cast.
YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!! Thank you TNT, NBC was insane to let this show go – now the only show they have worth watching is 30 Rock – though if South Land comes back take out Regina King – her character was awful and slowed the show down – put more time on the beat cops who are the true stars of the show
OMG, Regina King is by far the best character on the show, and if TNT do pick this up, there could be an Emmy in it for her!
I hope it works out! I love Southland, the cast is great and works well together. Want to see more!
Thanks for linking to the Hollywood Reporter on this one, which explains they’re in talks. Just mentioning that they share a corporate parent doesn’t mean anything.
“…sources on Monday indicated that talks between the two sides are advancing.
“We continually look at all programming opportunities that fit our portfolio of brands,” TNT said in a statement. “
yea thatd be a good fit
I hope they make the correct decision and move to TNT.
I hope this is true. It is an excellent show and to be canceled because of boring Leno is ridiculous!
I really hope this happens!!! The show really deserves to be seen.
That would be so great and I could see that fitting, too.
I hope this is true! No matter what else is on at this time, I will watch Southland regardless. I just hope the production value is still high quality and the new format change (focusing on only a few main cast memmbers) doesn’t hinder the show. Make this happen TNT!
Please pickup “Southland”, TNT!! That show really didn’t deserve an early axe.
Toatally agree, and with “Dark Blue”, “Leverage”, and Raising the Bar, TNT will have a great line up!
I will sign/do/(gasp)steal whatever I have to do to get this show on the air. Southland trumps every thing!
I want go totally mouthland on Ben’s southland, so I hope this get renewed.
LOL! I really hope this works out. I miss “Coopman”.
This could be better than sending peanuts to CBS to save Jericho!!! Send TNT sex toys with lipstick to lobby for a Southland pickup (or is that pick-me-up?)
If I have to watch it live and not Tivo it, AND sit through all the commercials I will. I will also call all the sponsors of the program and personally thank them for advertising during Southland on TNT
Fingers crossed that this happens.
Please please please
