[show]The song that is played over the show's opening credits is a brief selection from "Canção do Mar" (Song of the Sea), by the Portuguese singer and songwriter Dulce José Silva Pontes. The piece was also used in the 1996 movie Primal Fear, and a version recorded by British singer Sarah Brightman under the title "Harem" was a crossover hit for Brightman in 2003.

[show]Southland premiered on NBC as the Thursday night, mid-season replacement for ER which had ended its long run in the spring of 2009. A critical success, Southland was picked up by NBC for the 2009-2010 season. Also in 2009, NBC's agreement with Tonight Show host Jay Leno ended and his 11:35PM time slot was given to Conan O'Brien, a clause that was a part of O'Brien's contract with the network. In a move to keep O'Brien and Leno, NBC created a new, nightly variety show at 10PM for Leno thus Southland lost its Thursday slot. Although Southland was tentatively moved to Saturday night at 10PM and was to premiere in October of 2009, NBC canceled the show before the show aired. TNT promptly picked-up the show and made it a part of its lineup of original programming.
