When NBC cancelled Southland, it was hard to imagine that we’d be talking about season five of the show. Will the ratings be good enough for TNT to renew the show for a sixth year? We shall have to wait and see.
Revolving around police officers in Los Angeles, the show stars Ben McKenzie, Michael Cudlitz, Regina King, Shawn Hatosy, C. Thomas Howell, and Lucy Liu.
Below are the most recent ratings for the Southland TV series on TNT. The show’s ratings are the best way to tell if it will be cancelled or renewed for a sixth season. The fifth season of Southland airs on Wednesday nights and there are 10 episodes once again.
These figures will be updated as the weeks progress so be sure to bookmark and return to this page:

What do you think? Do you still like the Southland TV series? Are you hoping that it’s renewed for a sixth season?

Please do not cancel SOUTHLAND! I love this show as do my co-workers, we had a hard time waiting for the next episode so we could talk about it the next day. Please bring it back
The best cop show on tv. Fantastic cast, great stories. What will we do without Dewi? This season has been the best. Please do not cancel.
Loved that show and everyone I’ve talked to feels the same. What a shame they do not renew it. There are so many other shows that should be cancelled, but not Southland.
Maybe if it had been advertised better. Then we wouldn’t be losing such a fantastic show. Even people I knew would love it didn’t know about it.
Please do not cancel Southland. One of the best drama shows on TV. The cast worked perfectly together..
Please renew for season 6, great show and will miss it. No other show on air to rival this show, great show, great characters.
Why, why, why cancel a great and thoughtful show ??? Soon there will be nothing left but junk reality for the brain dead. Please don’t cancel Southland.
