‘Things aren’t looking too good for our boxing champ. Phone company has no record of her alleged phone calls to check on him. And like you said, the roaming signals do not match up to the time she said she was in the canyon, because the phone was off for 13 hours.’
‘Southland’ being awesome in gif form!
Tonight’s new episode is all about connections: John gets a new partner, Detective Lydia Adams reaches out to a former flame, and Ben finds romance on the job. We think there’s going to be an equal mix of yikes! and oh la la!
(Also, with a new baby and trying to keep the street of Los Angeles safe will Adams EVER get sleep?)
Who’s a BOSS both in front of and behind the scenes?
If you answered Regina King from ‘Southland’ give yourself a pat on the back!
The awesome King will be directing the March 13th episode of the series (her first!), and says of her co-stars, “Both Shawn Hatosy and Michael Cudlitz stayed after they wrapped and watched me shoot scenes they weren’t in. That really meant a lot to me.”
(So many warm fuzzy feelings)
We’ll see you tonight with a new episode Wednesdays 10/9c on TNT.
Seriously, WATCH. THIS. SHOW!
Oh la la!
…but it’s just another day on the job for Michael Cudlitz aka Detective John Cooper.
The Hollywood Reporter visited the set of ‘Southland’ during their fourth season to snap some shots, they’ve published a gallery of the best and, oh boy, are they good.
Check out David Strick’s behind-the-scene images and read about the publication’s efforts to document what they consider the strongest Emmy contenders for 2012.
It’s not enough for the show, its cast, and crew to get honored at Homeboy Industries and change lives! No, they want to keep the means streets of Los Angeles safe and the TV loving community happy!
TNT just announced today that Southland will return next season for 10 episodes beginning February 2013. Which seems like a ways away, but take the time to catch up on the previous seasons, this show rewards multiple viewings.
Don’t forget to share the news on Twitter with #SouthlandRenewed!
We all know that TNT’s Southland is an AMAZING show but did you know that it’s also a life changing show for the players involved?
Over the weekend the series was honored by Homeboy Industries at their 10th Annual Lo Maximo Awards for for its realistic portrayal of youth in gangs as well as its dedication to providing employment for at-risk youth both in front of and behind the camera.
On hand to accept the Homeboy Media Award on behalf of Warner Bros. and John Wells Productions were series stars Michael Cudlitz, Shawn Hatosy, Regina King, Ben McKenzie and executive producer Christopher Chulack.
What an honor, congrats to the show and everyone involved!
The cast of Southland portrays tough-as-nails officers on the mean streets of Los Angeles. They patrol gang-infested areas, raid drug dens, get in stand-offs with armed, mentally unstable men and women, and chase suspects who refuse to go down without a fight. Needless to say, they are authority figures on the show, but during a recent set visit, the cast opened up to Snakkle about life not always imitating art.
The cast have been on many paths but we’re thrilled that they’ve all led to Southland whose season finale is on tonight at 10/9c on TNT!
So hold on cus if the previous episodes are any indication, tonight’s going to be intense.

‘Southland’ puts viewers on L.A.’s mean streets: The gritty TNT crime series uses former gang members and off-duty LAPD personnel to bolster the reality quotient of story lines that are usually filmed on location.
Adding to the sense of realism, the actors playing gangsters are not sent to auditions by their Beverly Hills agents. Most are ex-gangbangers, tatted and menacing, who know how to mad-dog rivals, throw gang signs and dis the cops. During some shoots, the officers who are extras and the gangsters who are extras previously had encounters on the street, which has made for fraught moments.
… “A few of the guys said the gang cops should immediately have the gangsters turn around with their hands around their heads and then search them,” said Daniel. “A few other guys said the cops should make the gangsters sit on the ground and cross their legs so they can’t get up and run. Pretty soon the former gang members started offering advice. They said that as soon as the cops pulled up, a few guys who weren’t holding dope or guns would run. When the cops chased them, the rest of the guys would split in the other direction. We incorporated all of that, and the end result was we had a very realistic scene.”
Whaaat.
