TNT In Talks To Pickup Southland

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.
