Southland rerun on Channel 4

Having missed out on Southland first time round, I was pleased when Channel 4 began to show it from the start a few weeks ago (overnight Sunday/Monday).

But after four episodes, it's all gone quiet - and there's no sign of the next episode any time soon.

Does anyone have any info on this?

    Thank goodness for Series link, I don't think I would have found it unless the PVR kept watch for it,

    I had been annoyed at myself for missing series 2 and onwards of Southland, but its turned out great in the end because I now get to watch it all in HD.

    I started recording near the end of the More4 Run, and had watched a few, but I was running out of space on the PVR so stopped watching, however once the More4 showing finished the series link thankfully swapped over to the 4 HD showing, so I got to watch them in HD instead so deleted all my outstanding More4 ones I was then surprised when I found it recording from Series 1 on 4HD fantastic:cool:

    I noticed that Channel 4 had started Season 3 this week, I tweeted them to ask what happened to Season 2

    They replied that they didn't have the rights to season 2 !!

    It's very sad that they are using this superb series as "filler"

    Seeing as it's ended, they're hardly going to give it a primetime slot...

    It's been cancelled, and there haven't been any resurrection talks, so I'd doubt it's coming back...

    Can't believe it got canned. Never seen any negative reviews of it.

    that has nothing to do with it, Channel 4 have always shown it in the small hours.

    Yes, we've still not had season 5 (final season) which should air on more4 in the Autumn.

    Thought so. It's a shame it's been cancelled, but I look forward to the last season.

    Too right, it had disappeared until that episode was shown and then it was gone again.

    I missed the first two episodes of Season One recently, didn't expect Channel 4 to start reshowing it straight after Season 4

    Oh by the way, if you are wondering what happened to Season 2?, Channel 4 don't have the rights to it (slaps forehead).

    I was lucky I was recording the last More4 showings, but had other stuff to get through and found the series link connecting to those on CH4HD, so saw the rest of the episodes in HD and then when the latest series had finished it went straight into season 1.

    I'm still a bit confused on how the Detective who got shot seemingly fatally, sudden seemed A-OK in that one and only episode of Season 3, thats been shown so far.

    I don't get how they can have rights to 1 and 3 in HD but not have Series 2 as well:confused:

    This is really taking the Michael!

    I don't get Channel4's operation at all. Depending on which programme it is they seem to get treated very differently.

    With Revenge and New Girl, there was only like a 4 day wait for the early morning repeat CH4HD repeat, then there is The Big Bang Theory where the latest series still hasn't had its 4HD repeat. Misfits series 2 had like a year and a half wait, when previously it had been 10 months, and Skins either hasn't had a repeat or I missed it.

    I just hope The Good Wife, Nashville, and Boss get one within a year of the extra channel showings.

    Channel 4 replied that episode 5 isn't available for. Broadcast.

    that doesn't answer my question does it.

    Still don't know whether I missed the episode due to Channel 4's ridiculous scheduling or if they just left it out.

    Does anyone have any ideas?

    No idea. I've given up trying to understand anything channel 4 do.
