Showtime’s Entertainment President David Nevins said in a statement:
“With its unique blend of lyricism and excess, Californication has been one of our groundbreaking signature series,”
“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 longtime fans alike.”
The final season will see Hank joining the writers of the “Santa Monica Cop” movie that was never released, now becomes a television series of the same name. Mary Lynn Rajskub and Alonzo Bodden guest star as fellow writing members. Michael Imperioli will also guest stars as the show’s old-school executive producer Rick Rath. The arrival of Hank’s old friend Julia (guest star Heather Graham) will complicate things even further with Karen.
