Season 4 has only just premiered in the US but Californication has already been renewed for a fifth season.
Showtime executives would doubtless be delighted that the new season was its highest premiere so far. ELEVEN premiered the same series in Australia on Tuesday.
David Duchovny has spoken about where he sees the show’s future.
“I’d like to go six seasons,” he said. “I always thought six would be a good number …72 episodes would be right.”
But he’s also open to the idea of longer.
“It’s only a 13 week schedule. It’s like shooting a little movie for me. And I love working with the people. We all have a good time. I could continue on…I just say six years because in cable I think it becomes economically not feasible for them to go beyond because they’re going to have to pay me so much money.”
Cheeky.
Meanwhile creator and executive producer Tom Kapinos has rejected the notion the show is little more than porn.
“I don’t feel like it’s ever gone too far,” he said. “Porn is people having sex on film. These are people pretending to have sex while naked. I have no regrets at all.”

great show, watched every episode so far, the current season looks interesting for Hank Moody 😉
Great news top show
Ty ELEVEN for series being FT
This is an excellent show.
What makes it work is, you actually care about the characters and what happens. Even still. Watching the new season having not watched it since the previous one finished. It sucks you right in.
Yeah there’s sex, nudity and whatever but the fact the show is well written and acted with an emotional core, it’s fine. If it was just that, then there might be an issue. But it’s not.
One of the funniest shows on TV. You just have to remind yourself now and then that Duchovny isn’t playing Charlie Sheen.
I really like this show, Having watched it since its premiere in 2007.
Keep the ball rolling with production, keep up the work with the show.
Great news!
