Southland Moves to TNT
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Cable, NBC, TNT-HD, News,
TNT isn’t only a place for countless Law & Order reruns. The cable channel is now home to another former NBC show.
Starting early next year, TNT will officially begin airing episodes of Southland, the John Wells-produced drama starring The O.C.‘s Benjamin McKenzie.
Despite critical acclaim and an October start date, the program was pulled from NBC just weeks before it was set to return. Now the entire series - including Season 1 and the unaired episodes from Season 2 - will have a new opportunity.
“This is a great win for fans of Southland and a perfect opportunity to introduce the series to new viewers,” said Steve Koonin, president of Turner Entertainment Networks, said in a statement. “It’s also another outstanding example of how TNT has established itself as the go-to place for the best dramas on television.”
Southland will debut on January 12.
