LOS ANGELES, Nov. 2 (UPI) -- TNT announced Monday it has picked up the U.S. drama series "Southland," closing a deal with Warner Bros. Television.
The pact will bring the latest show from "ER" and "The West Wing" producer John Wells to the cable network in January.
TNT said it has obtained exclusive rights to air all six episodes that have been shot for the second season, as well as the seven episodes from the series' first season.
"This is a great win for fans of 'Southland' and a perfect opportunity to introduce the series to new viewers," Steve Koonin, president of Turner Entertainment Networks, said in a statement. "It's also another outstanding example of how TNT has established itself as the go-to place for the best dramas on television."
"We are extremely pleased that TNT has acquired all 13 episodes of 'Southland,' giving devoted fans the opportunity to watch a show that they passionately support," added Peter Roth, president of Warner Bros. Television.
"We're delighted that TNT has stepped forward to pick up 'Southland.' We are all extremely proud of the show," Wells said.
Starring Regina King, Tom Everett Scott, Michael McGrady and Kevin Alejandro, "Southland" premiered on NBC last April.
