“Southland” will return in January for a 10-episode third season, TNT says.
Created by John Wells (“ER”) and starring Ben McKenzie, “Southland” is “a challenging, visceral show that engages viewers with its immersive style, provocative storylines and complex characters,” TNT’s Michael Wright said. “These qualities have made ‘Southland’ a favorite among critics and appointment viewing for an extremely loyal audience.”
TNT picked up the police drama after NBC dropped it. The original episodes on TNT averaged 2.7 million viewers, the network said.
