'Southland' Maybe On Its Way to TNT
If the deal goes through the former NBC drama could be on its way to TNT to join already successful shows of the same genre such as The Closer and HawthoRNe.
The cable network began conversations with corporate sibling Warner Bros. TV, which produces the cop drama, shortly after “Southland” was abruptly canceled by NBC earlier this month.
Though a deal has not been completed, it now appears likely.
If the pact goes though, it would mark a rare resurrection of a canceled broadcast series on cable, something that couldn’t be worked out for a slew of other shows, including critical darling “Arrested Development,” fan favorite “Moonlight” or veteran “My Name Is Earl.”

Early this month, NBC made the stupid decision of canceling Southland citing the show having too heavy of a plot for network tv.
