For those of you who don’t know what Southland is, it’s an expertly executed TNT drama about cops in L.A. starring the likes of Michael Cudlitz, Shawn Hatosy, Regina King, and Ben McKenzie.

From the in-your-face camera angles to the inner demons of the characters themselves, Southland is known for being gritty and dramatic, and the fifth season opener is no different.

Former "One Tree Hill" star Chad Michael Murray is heading back to TV with a recurring part on Season 5 of "Southland."
Murray will play an Lapd officer named Dave Mendoza who's described as likable but a bit of a "loose cannon," per TVLine. He does his job well enough, but off duty, he's something of a bad influence on Ben Sherman (Ben McKenzie).
So yes, Ryan Atwood and Lucas Scott will be hanging out together.
