Looks like Southland fans are in luck.

While the show won't return to NBC, sources confirm that it's very close to being picked up by TNT.

The drama has already shot six episodes for its second season. No word yet on when it might premiere on TNT, but a show insider says:

"NBC has been holding things up, but we're getting closer. This behavior from NBC has been unbelievable and amazingly f-cked-up - even for them - which is really saying something."
