Although there are still 3 episodes to air this season, the cops on TNT's Southland are in hot pursuit of a renewal, and it looks like they will get there. Turner brass are officially waiting until all the live+7 data is in, but a season 5 for Southland seems a given based on the current number-crunching and critical praise.
Ratings for the current 4th season are up from a season ago, and season 3 was better than season 2. Through the first 4 episodes this year, the skein is averaging 3 million viewers when including live+7 data. Both the 18-49 and 25-54 demos have also increased. On Tuesday of this week, for the first time, Southland edged ahead of timeslot competitor White Collar on USA in adults 18-49.
Also working in Southland's favor is the series is a hit with TV critics. That wasn't enough for Men of a Certain Age, though, a year ago when the Ray Romano starrer got the ax. However, Men of a Certain Age had far inferior ratings to Southland and a split-season schedule didn't help.
