Michael Cudlitz on the set of Southland

As a fan of TNT’s acclaimed drama series, Southland, I was happy to read the cast and crew are back on the streets of Los Angeles as production begins on the show’s fourth season. The intensely personal, first-person look at cops and detectives on the beat stars Michael Cudlitz, Shawn Hatosy, Regina King and Ben McKenzie. They will be joined this season by special guest star Lucy Liu (Kung Fu Panda, Charlie’s Angels, Ally McBeal). Southland is set to launch its new season Tuesday, Jan. 17, at 10 p.m. (ET/PT).

This season on Southland, Detective Adams (King) will take on another new partner, this time a former Marine (guest star Dorian Missick), while also facing a major upheaval in her personal life. Cooper (Cudlitz) will be back on the job after surgery to repair the back problems that led to his drug addiction. He will be teamed up with a new partner, Jessica Tang (Liu), who will bring her own set of emotional baggage to their patrol car. Cooper’s former trainee, Sherman (McKenzie), is now a full-fledged cop, partnered with Bryant (Hatosy), who continues to struggle with the trauma of the past.

To launch the start of the new season, cast members will provide Twitter updates using the hashtag #tntbackontheset.
