They say one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
That adage may prove to be true when it comes to the drama behind the drama series ‘Southland.’
Starting Jan.12, TNT will begin airing episodes of the critically-acclaimed show from Emmy Award-winning producer John Wells.
The news comes following NBC’s abrupt cancellation on Oct. 8 of the drama, which starred actress Regina King as a detective with unresolved family issues.
TNT has obtained exclusive rights to air the six episodes from the second season of the show, which were never aired after several push-backs and time-slot changes. The network will also have the rights to show the seven episodes from Southland’s first season.
Steve Koonin, president of Turner Entertainment Networks, said, “This is a great win for fans of Southland and a perfect opportunity to introduce the series to new viewers.” “It is also another outstanding example of how TNT has established itself as the go-to place for the best dramas on television.”
‘Southland,’ which premiered in April 2009, follows a group of Los Angeles cops. King as Detective Lydia Adams, who balances her hectic job with serving as her mother’s primary caregiver. ‘Southland’ also stars Michael Cudlitz, Ben McKenzie, Michael McGrady, Tom Everett Scott, Kevin Alejandro, Arija Bareikis and Shawn Hatosy.
‘Southland’ will air Tuesdays at 10 PM EST.
