It's not clear when his first episode will air.
SOUTHLAND (NBC) - The former Peacock drama is inching closer to finding a new home at TNT.

No other details about the deal were given.

Lisa Arch ("Clean House") has been tapped to host the project, which will roll out Saturday, January 2 at 9:00/8:00c. She'll be joined by a rotating panel of experts (including boxer Laila Ali, nutritionist Rachel Beller and radio host Emily Morse) who will help devise pragmatic solutions to the women's self-described troubles. No details about the production team were given. Meanwhile in other news at the network, "Ruby" has been given the go ahead to produce a third season. It's understood new episodes will launch in the first quarter.
