NEW YORK, Feb. 16 -- The critically acclaimed teen drama,
South of Nowhere will return for a third season on The N, the nighttime
network for teens, it was announced today by Sarah Tomassi Lindman, SVP and
General Manager, The N. The series which was recently nominated for its
second GLAAD Award in the category of Best Drama Series explores one
family's journey of honesty and self-discovery in the fast-paced City of
Angels. This spring, production will begin on 16 new original 30-minute
episodes from The Tom Lynch Co. that are slated to premiere Fall of 2007.
"We are proud to begin production on a series that continues to be
applauded by both our teen viewers and an esteemed organization such as
GLAAD," said Lindman. "We have created an authentic teen series that speaks
to our audience with honesty and acceptance."
South of Nowhere is a fictional story about a contemporary American
family and their multi-faceted journey of self-discovery. Set in Los
Angeles, the series chronicles the five members of the Carlin family as
they try to define themselves and make sense of their lives while they
undergo a huge transition -- moving from a small town in Ohio to the big
city of Los Angeles. The Carlins find they are unprepared for the
fast-paced, metropolitan environment and the overcrowded, "anything goes"
L.A. public school the family's three teenagers attend. The family is at
the heart of the series and while their characters are unique, they reflect
many American families today -- bound by their evolving identity and their
close relationships.
"We are thrilled that South of Nowhere has been picked up for a third
season," said creator Tom Lynch. "The N has consistently been the right
network and the right partner for this series about teens growing up in Los
Angeles. The new season promises to be the most explosive, heartfelt, and
funny one yet."
Tom Lynch, founder and CEO of The Tom Lynch Company, began his career
as a rock-n-roll producer on Don Kirschner's Rock Concert and as
creator-writer- producer of Night Tracks. With an extensive roster of
television hits to his credit -- including Caitlin's Way, Just Deal, Skate,
Galidor: Defenders of the Outer Dimension, and the Emmy-nominated Scout's
Safari, which was set and filmed on location in South Africa -- Lynch
