Southland: Cancelled by TNT, No Season Six
10 May 2013 6:35 PM, PDT | TVSeriesFinale.com | See recent TVSeriesFinale news »
The sun has set on Southland on TNT. The cable channel has decided to end the show after five seasons.
The ratings took a serious hit in season five, dropping to 1.44 million viewers and a 0.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic. Some of the cast booked pilots just in case but pledged to return if Southland ended up getting a sixth year.
Here's a statement from TNT:
TNT has made the difficult decision not to renew Southland for another season. We are enormously proud of Southland, which stands as one of the best police dramas ever made.
Executive producers John Wells, Chris Chulack and Jonathan Lisco, along with creator Ann Biderman and our partners at Warner Bros. Television, have given us five seasons of powerful, unforgettable storytelling, for which we are deeply grateful. »

So long, "Southland." TNT has canceled its critically acclaimed cop drama "Southland" after five seasons. The series, which starred Michael Cudlitz, Benjamin McKenzie and Regina King, was created by Ann Biderman and was never, during its run, a giant ratings hit despite the praise it received in the press. It originally premiered on NBC in 2009, with TNT picking it up after it was canceled by the broadcast network.

TNT has canceled Southland after five seasons. In a statement, the network said, "TNT has made the difficult decision not to renew Southland for another season." Fans of the gritty drama are probably less than pleased given the huge cliffhanger at the end of the season five finale, which found Cooper's (Michael Cudlitz) life in danger after being shot.

The Daily Beast: "Southland: Television’s Most Underrated Drama"
20 February 2013 6:42 AM, PST | Televisionary | See recent Televisionary news »
TNT’s gripping police drama Southland is back for a fifth season, but hardly anyone’s tuning in. My take on television’s most criminally overlooked show. Over at The Daily Beast, you can read my latest feature, "Southland: Television’s Most Underrated Drama," in which I take a look at a superlative yet underrated drama: Southland, which returned last week for a fifth season. Why aren’t more of you watching Southland? Created by Ann Biderman (NYPD Blue) and executive-produced by John Wells (ER), TNT’s uncompromising cop drama returned for a fifth season last week to only 1.16 million viewers, down 34 percent from last year. In a television season that has given us dreck like Zero Hour, Mob Doctor, and Do No Harm, Southland should be a hit. That it’s not is a shame, as Southland remains one of the most morally complex and insightful dramas on television today. »

Watch: Liev Schreiber Gives Winston Wolf a Run for His Money in the Trailer for Showtime's 'Ray Donovan'
13 February 2013 8:34 AM, PST | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
While "Masters of Sex," the Michael Sheen/Lizzy Caplan period drama premiering September 29th, may be the glitzier-looking of Showtime's two new dramas, it's Liev Schreiber vehicle "Ray Donovan" that attracted a lot of praise from journalists shown an early cut of the pilot before TCA in January. Set to debut on June 30th after the season eight premiere of "Dexter," "Ray Donovan" stars Schreiber (in his first regular TV role) as the title character, a fixer for Los Angeles' wealthy and powerful whose personal life is, naturally, a mess, especially when his father (Jon Voight) is released from prison. The series comes from "Southland" creator Ann Biderman, with Paula Malcomson ("Deadwood"), Eddie Marsan ("Happy-Go-Lucky") and Katherine Moennig ("The L Word") among the cast.

'Southland' DVD clip: Producers discuss L.A. and following your gut
4 February 2013 1:40 PM, PST | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
"Southland" is about a lot of things -- the day-to-day work of police officers, how personal things can affect professional conduct -- but it's also very much about the city of Los Angeles.
"One of the things we're interested in is the multi-ethnic quality of Los Angeles," creator Ann Biderman says in this clip (exclusive to Zap2it) from the show's mega-dvd box set (Seasons 2, 3 and 4 in one package) that hits stores Tuesday (Feb. 5). She, executive producer Christopher Chulack and technical adviser Chic Daniel are discussing the Season 2 episode "U-Boat," in which Ben Sherman (Ben McKenzie) patrols for the first time without his training officer, John Cooper (Michael Cudlitz).
One of the cases he handles solo is that of a missing Korean girl, and it forces him to go against procedure. "The theme in a way is what do you do when you're told not to do something, and your »
