Southland Series Picked Up By TNT
The popular NBC TV series Southland has been picked up by TNT. NBC renewed then canceled Southland’s second season abruptly even after a good showing in the series first year. Southland is a fast moving gritty action drama following a police unit in Los Angeles. The show stars Benjamin McKenzie, (”The O.C.”) as new police officer Ben Sherman and Michael Cudlitz (”A River Runs Through It”) as John Cooper, the seasoned professional assigned to train the rookie cop. Warner Bros. owns and produces Southland and the same corporation owns TNT, making this deal easier to make for the sake of saving the new series.
