Several premium cable shows have been cancelled over the past few months but Californication keeps hanging in there. The show’s just been renewed for a sixth season on Showtime.
Californication follows novelist Hank Moody (David Duchovny) as he battles his personal demons and tries to overcome writers block. In season five, the narrative jumps forward two years and Hank is back in Los Angeles, writing a screenplay for a hot new film property. Others in the cast include Evan Handler, Madeleine Martin, Natascha McElhone, Karen Moody, and Pamela Adlon.
The half-hour show returned on Sunday, January 8th, and was paired with Don Cheadle’s new series, House of Lies. Californication brought in a 0.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 758,000 total viewers. That was on par with the show’s demo rating for season four’s opener but about a 100,000 fewer viewers.
