Southland

The cop drama concluded rather ambiguously, with desk duty-bound officer John Cooper being shot by the police after he brutally assaulted his neighbor. While the screen faded to black, leaving John’s fate unknown, executive producer Jonathan Lisco told TVLine that viewers should not assume the worst. “John has rebounded from so many challenges over the seasons, so it’s very possible that he could come back in some capacity, and even as a policeman,” Lisco said, adding that if the cop is “guilty of anything, [it’s] not being aware of how much pain he was in, not seeking help. The possibility for him to be rehabilitated and be a character in Season 6 is certainly on the table.”
