Coming this summer is Showtime’s new series called
Californication. In an effort to maintain its reputation for acclaimed series like
Dexter and
Weeds, the network has ordered 12 half-hour episodes of the dramedy that marks the return of David Duchovny on television.
Created by Tom Kapinos,
Californication centers on a writer who struggles to juggle his busy career, his relationship with his daughter and his ex-girlfriend. A mix of comedy and drama sinks in as his appetite for beautiful women and his obsession with drugs interfere with his personal and professional life.
