I hear it looks certain for a TNT pickup of Southland, which was dumped by NBC. People working on the show are being told to prepare for a projected November 2nd resume shooting date, but that may be premature. Warner Bros has no official announcement. But that’s because TNT and NBC are still negotiating moolah terms, according to my sources. *UPDATE: “NBC has been holding things up, but we’re getting closer,” a show insider just told me tonight. “This behavior from NBC has been unbelievable and amazingly fucked-up — even for them — which is really saying something…”*
C’mon, was there really any doubt that TNT would want this Warner Bros series? Especially since John Wells and Barry Meyer are joined at the hip? Plus, judging from the fan furor, the show deserved another try. Anyway, at this moment, this is what I understand to be the most accurate info.

I love Southland. I hope this is true.
I hope this happens!
PLEASE, OMG BE TRUE!!!
Great news. Excellent show that deserves to be picked up.
Great play.
Nikki, I’ll be your b*tch for a year if this is true! Awesome show and have been campaigning for this.
This article just made my month! I hope it’s true! Southland is a great show and TNT is a great network, they would fit in so well together! Ok, sorry, just a little excited at this news!
Yays!! double WHAMMIE we get our guys and the show back!!
I’m so happy I could cry.(pass the kleenex). Viewers can’t do without Southland.It’s just like the ‘BEST SHOW EVER’!!!.
hmm, TNT planned to broadcast the 13 episodes they made. No? there were no talk about continue the prouction
If this is true, Nikki, I’m buying you roses.
November 2nd as a re-start date for airing the show? Or – dare I madly hope – for going back to filming?
OMG!! Will be waiting impatiently for the official word. Am so happy for all involved, cast, crew and devoted fans. This is a fantastic show and deserves to be seen.
Southland is terrible. It’s like they saw Haggis’ CRASH and thought it was too subtle.
THIS is good news
Horrible, derivative show. Waste of money on all levels. If it can’t perform in the ER slot after a widely publicized ER finale and Southland premiere, how will this moldy leftover attract viewers on basic cable? They will just see it as reruns of a short-lived show.
Great news if the deal gets hammered out.
However, why the hell would NBC give a crap if you cancelled the show and someone else is willing to take it?
They didn’t promote season 2 and dumped it like it was Friday’s trash. So why are they making a fuss and holding things up?
Very good question.
Why would TNT be so stupid? The show is horrible. Besides the posters who clearly work on the show. Stupid.
Sounds like you work for NBC
I don’t want to get my hopes up but I REALLY hope this is true. I have loved Southland more than any other show I have seen recently.
If it last more than one year on TNT I will be surprised.Southland is terrible, I see it’s ratings being cut in half on TNT, but that probably would be big numbers for basic cable.
Oct 23 was Blue Friday. This is great news. Love SouthLAnd!
I pray this is true. NBC’s loss is TNT’s gain. And mine.
This comment is for, Stupid !
Love you name. I think it explains everything.
Im glad you got your job back. Now since this is your second chance, can you make sure that show makes sense this time!!
NBC needs to get out of the way. Southland is a great show, and I’d love to see it on TNT.
Haha
Don’t work on the show but wish I did.
Awesome show, please TNT save Southland!
