"TNT has renewed crime drama Southland for a fourth season. The cable network has ordered ten episodes of the series, which stars Ben McKenzie, Michael Cudlitz, Shawn Hatosy and Regina King as Los Angeles police officers. Michael Wright, head of programming for TNT, said: &amp;quot;Southland has been acknowledged by many critics as one of the sharpest, most entertaining and most authentic dramas on television today. &amp;quot;[Producers] John Wells, Chris Chulack and their teams created a brilliant roller coaster ride this season, with countless riveting scenes and unforgettable character arcs. We are extremely proud to have Southland on TNT and to bring it back for a fourth season.&amp;quot; The show started its run on NBC in April 2009. NBC cancelled the series in October 2009 during its second season. TNT began airing episodes of Southland in January 2010 and later picked the show up for a ten-episode third season.
