Maggie Furlong, @TheTVShowGirl, reports on the cocktail party/press event of the 25th Oct. .

To kick off the week and celebrate ‘Southland’ going back into production this Thursday in L.A., TNT hosted a cocktail party for select TV critics and journalists to mingle with the ‘Southland’ cast.

Regina King “We’ve kept in touch over the break … When you find people who love their craft as much as you do and aren’t just in this business to be big stars, you hang on to them.”

Where will season 3 pick up? “Pretty much right where we left off,” Cudlitz said. The only other thing he’d spill about the first three scripts was…

Heading to a press event party for Southland. Get to see all the cast members in the same room again. Tomorrow table read episode 1 $ 2. Wednesday shooting guns at the firing range. Southies we are up and running.

Pictures coming as soon as we can (legally!) get them!

Relive the live web chat with the cast of SouthLAnd, which took place March 2. With all 8 primary cast members at just over 54 minutes, they streamed live on Tuesday answering questions from the fans after the Season 2 premiere – having a great time!

Sit back, relax and have some fun with Michael McGrady, Kevin Alejandro, Shawn Hatosy, Tom Everett Scott, Ben McKenzie, Michael Cudlitz and series writer/creator Ann Biderman in Los Angeles; and Regina King & Arija Bareikis in New York.

A special SAG Members only screening is being held on Monday, February 8 followed by a Q&A with Regina King, Ben McKenzie, Michael Cudlitz, Michael McGrady and Shawn Hatosy.

Dedicated fans of the acclaimed drama series SouthLAnd will finally get to see the series’ six never-before-seen episodes when TNT begins presenting them Tuesday, March 2, at 10 p.m. (ET/PT).  The extraordinary drama series from Warner Bros. Television and Emmy^®-winning producer John Wells (ER, The West Wing) came to TNT in January as the result of a major outpouring of support from critics and fans of the show.

SouthLAnd is a raw, authentic look at police work in Los Angeles.  Unlike many other dramas set in the world of law enforcement, the series places its primary focus on officers, detectives and a gang unit, whose cases sometimes intertwine, showing the tough jobs they face and the triumphs and tragedies that populate their personal lives.  SouthLAnd is shot on location in the streets and neighborhoods of Los Angeles, creating a realistic, natural environment where similar situations often occur in real life.

SouthLAnd’s outstanding ensemble includes Kevin Alejandro (Drive, Ugly Betty), Arija Bareikis (Crossing Jordan), Michael Cudlitz (Band of Brothers, A River Runs Through It), Shawn Hatosy (Alpha Dog), Regina King (Ray, Jerry Maguire), Michael McGrady (The Thin Red Line, Day Break), Ben McKenzie (The O.C.) and Tom Everett Scott (Boiler Room, ER, TNT’s Saved).

The screening is open to active and validated members of the Screen Actors Guild only.
