The TNT drama Southland has been cancelled after five seasons on the air. The show, starring Benjamin McKenzie, aired its first season on NBC before being picked up by TNT for the next 4 seasons.
TNT released the following statement, according to Entertainment Weekly:
"TNT has made the difficult decision not to renew Southland for another season. We are enormously proud of Southland, which stands as one of the best police dramas ever made. Executive producers John Wells, Chris Chulack and Jonathan Lisco, along with creator Ann Biderman and our partners at Warner Bros. Television, have given us five seasons of powerful, unforgettable storytelling, for which we are deeply grateful. We also want to thank the amazing cast for their impassioned, no-holds-barred performances, and the production team for their tenacity shooting on the streets of real-world Los Angeles. We wish everyone associated with Southland the very best."
TNT also canceled the medical drama Monday Mornings, according to Deadline , after just one season. Stars of the show tweeted their appreciation and gratitude to all the fans of the crime drama.
