Wells called Southland's actors last week to tell them he's in talks to find the show a new home, according to The Hollywood Reporter. NBC canceled the show even before its second season premiere, saying its content was too dark and gritty for broadcast television. While Wells didn't specify which networks he's had discussions with, TNT has been interested in acquiring the series and is the most likely contender. Southland may be heading to TNT If a deal is made, it's unlikely that filming will resume soon. The buyer would run the first season's seven episodes and six produced for Season 2
to create a 13-episode freshman season.

 They'll be better off on any other network. I hope TNT can pick it up. NBC is run by complete morons!

This is GREAT news. I was pissed it got canceled. I was so excited for season 2. Correct me if I'm wrong but this whole, getting picked up by another
network concept, is that relatively new? I mean I don't ever remember shows changing networks or getting canceled and then picked up somewhere else. Did I
just never hear about it before or is this concept pretty new? I've noticed it a lot lately (the last 2-3 years) and I really really like the idea. It
seems like networks (well, at least some of them) are starting to get a little more creative and finding new ways to keep the shows that fans want on the air
(i.e. Friday Night Lights, Medium, Scrubs - though this one needs to just end). I never really noticed anything like this before. Was I just not very tuned in
(pardon the pun) in years past?

I knew this show would get picked up by another network. It's too good to pass up and already has a following b/c of the prime spot it started to air in.

Crap. The show is produced by Warner Bros. NBC are just real assholes when it comes to shows they didn't produce.

This is great! It would do well on TNT. Then TNT would have a GREATER lineup: HawthoRNe Saving Grace The Closer Dark Blue Leverage Raising The Bar
