Media 182
David Duchovny returns for a new season in the comedy series Californication which airs from Monday, 17 March at 23:00 on SABC3. Californication centres on charming writer novelist, Hank Moody, who struggles to help raise his daughter, while still carrying a torch for his ex-girlfriend Karen and trying to re-launch his writing career.
His obsession with honesty and his self-destructive behavior – drinks, drugs and relationships – are simultaneously destroying and enriching his career. He’s holding it together while falling apart – and he doesn’t mind it one bit.
When audiences last saw Moody (David Duchovny), he had just left the set of his novel-turned-film Fu**ing & Punching and was driving his black Porsche down the coast, off into the sunset to parts unknown.
A few years have passed this season on Californication and fresh off a stint in New York, Moody’s now back in LA and in deep with mega-rich rap mogul Samurai 'Sam' Apocalypse (RZA). The extreme-living music icon hires Moody – still riding the success of Fu**ing & Punching – to write the screenplay for his hot, new film property, Santa Monica Cop. Moody may be the ex-college professor, but he’s getting schooled on the ways of the street by new buddy Sam — ‘Hanksta’ has gone Gangsta. Their ebony/ivory bromance is tested by silky siren Kali (Meagan Good), a singer who is Sam’s personal protégé, but sparks Moody’s flame.
Meanwhile, the now-divorced Charlie (Evan Handler) and Marcy (Pamela Adlon) are co-parenting their toddler son, along with Marcy’s now-husband Stu Beggs (Stephen Tobolowsky). But their sexy, English nanny Lizzie (Camilla Luddington) will come between the happy trio in a wholly unexpected way.
On the family front, Karen (Natascha McElhone) is finally living the suburban fairytale, happily married — just not to Moody. Much to his general annoyance, she’s now wed to her former professor, Richard Bates (Jason Beghe). And daughter Becca (Madeleine Martin) has found love with boyfriend Tyler (Scott Michael Foster), who is eerily reminiscent, for better and far worse, of a younger, slightly greasier Moody. Moody's mostly coping with the two jerks in his girls’ lives, but if either guy happened to get caught in the line of Sam’s crossfire, it wouldn’t be the worst thing.
Karen and Becca may be happily distracted with new beaus, but another girl has her sights set squarely on Moody. Carrie (Natalie Zea), his crazy NY ex, is hell-bent on making him pay for leaving her for who audiences all know is the real woman in Moody’s life — Lady Los Angeles.
The new season of Californication airs from Monday, 17 March at 23:00 on SABC3.
