Fans of Showtime’s Californication will have just one more season to enjoy the sexual hijinx of Hank. Showtime’s confirmed that season seven will be the last for the show starring David Duchovny, Natascha McElhone, Madeleine Martin, Evan Handler, and Pamela Adlon. Duchovny also serves as an executive producer on the series along with series creator Tom Kapinos.
Season seven will premiere in April 2014, however, the exact date hasn’t been announced.
“With its unique blend of lyricism and excess, Californication has been one of our groundbreaking signature series,” said David Nevins. “We will always be indebted to Tom Kapinos for leading the creative charge on this memorable comedy, and to David Duchovny for making us root for an unapologetic hedonist like Hank Moody. Tom has carefully planned the final chapter of Hank’s journey and has brought it to a beautiful and satisfying conclusion for new and long-time fans alike.”
Over the previous six seasons, Californication has earned five Emmy nominations, six Golden Globe nominations, and a Screen Actors Guild nomination. Season six averaged 2.9 million viewers.
The Plot:
From his debut in August 2007, Hank Moody quickly became everyone’s favorite unflinchingly honest, self-destructive lothario who bowed at the altar of sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll. The final season will find him joining the writer’s room as his never-released film “Santa Monica Cop” now becomes a television series of the same name. He’s riled frequently by his boss, the show’s old-school executive producer Rick Rath (guest star Michael Imperioli), and his fellow writing team members, including Goldie (guest star Mary Lynn Rajskub) and Alonzo (co-star Alonzo Bodden).
But he’s thrown by the reemergence of old friend Julia (guest star Heather Graham), whose arrival causes chaos in Hank’s already hectic life, and with his on-off relationship with Karen (McElhone). Meanwhile, Charlie (Handler) and Marcy (Adlon) grapple with the aftermath of their reunion and an enticing offer from her ex-husband, Stu Beggs (guest star Stephen Tobolowsky). Rob Lowe, Brandon T. Jackson, Oliver Cooper and Mercedes Masohn will also guest star.
