TNT has picked up Southland from NBC. The critically acclaimed cop drama was canceled a week before it’s second season premiere, a casualty of Jay Leno’s primetime talk show. TNT will re-air the John Wells series’ original seven episodes NBC broadcast, plus the six new hours that NBC ordered but chose not to air.
Depending on ratings, TNT will order more. By only committing to airing episodes that have already been produced, the deal minimizes TNT’s financial risk and allows the cable network to evaluate the success of the show before investing in a re-start of production. The network plans to run the tough cop drama Tuesday nights at 10:00 PM/ET, opposite The Jay Leno Show. Southland will make its TNT debut on Tuesday, January 12.

When NBC aburpty canceled Southland, there was talk of the show moving to another network. The most obvious network was TNT, which shares a corporate parent with Warners Brothers TV, which produces the critically praised series with studio-based John Wells Productions. Southland, which stars Benjamin McKenzie, shot six episodes of its second season before being shut down by NBC last week.
Now its seems like talks have begun. “We continually look at all programming opportunities that fit our portfolio of brands,” TNT said in a statement. TNT has been active in the cop drama genre, from its biggest hit, The Closer to its most recent offering, Dark Blue, both from WBTV’s sister Warner Horizon.
TNT has yet to decide on the future of Dark Blue, which recently wrapped its first season.

Warner Brothers Television was told by NBC that the show was being canceled by the network. Neither the studio nor NBC would comment on for why the show was halted, but insiders say the dark nature of the cop drama was a factor. NBC said it will do its best to air the six episodes that were already shot and that the quality of the show wasn’t a factor in the decision.
