Only two weeks ahead of the returns of "Homeland" and "Dexter," Showtime has lined up its next high-profile premieres, setting "Shameless," "House of Lies" and "Californication" for January 2013.
To be more specific, the three returning favorites will make up a block Showtime is calling "Sinful Sundays" starting on January 13, 2013.
The third season of "Shameless" will kick off the night at 9 p.m. bringing back one of TV's most egregiously Emmy-snubbed ensembles, led by Emmy Russum and William H. Macy.
"House of Lies," which features Emmy nominated star Don Cheadle, will begin its second season at 10 p.m.
Then, at 10:30, Showtime will kick off the sixth season of "Californication," which finds regular stars David Duchovny, Madeleine Martin and Natascha McElhone joined by Maggie Grace (for nine episodes) and Jorge Garcia (for two episodes).
"Homeland" and "Dexter" return to Showtime on September 30.

September 17, 2012 at 6:30PM EST Reply to CommentThe new season of Californication also has, oddly, Tim Minchin (odd because I he's not generally an actor). I've never watched, but I'm tempted to tune in to see what he does.

September 17, 2012 at 10:30PM EST Reply to CommentI'm certainly surprised House of Lies got a second season. I only saw the pilot and that did nothing for me. Did anyone here see the rest of the season? Did it get any better?
I'm certainly happy to see Shameless now has a premiere date. I don't know if I'm the only one, but I totally watch it as comfort viewing. It's like my premium-cable Parenthood.
mcspinelli Yes, House of Lies got better. I was very wary of the first 4 or so episodes and was almost done with the show. It rebounded around episode 5 and finished relatively strong because the plots, as well as the writing for Cheadle and Bell, got much better.

September 18, 2012 at 7:12PM EST Reply to CommentCalifornication for me is now at the same stage as Dexter where it has been dragged out way past its expiration date. For season 5 the producer/writers said they were going to get away from the storyline of Hank trying to win back his ex but this season seemed to focus on that yet again and even the cliffhanger was centered around him getting her back but having something get in the way. What a disappointment. I`ll probably watch to see how it ends, just like I will with Dexter, as I have invested a lot of time, but I no longer have the same respect for these two shows.

December 1, 2012 at 1:14PM EST Reply to CommentCaliforncation is the show that Entourage should have become. Always hilariously funny, never lost its focus & Runkel blows away Ari Gold as the depraved agent.
Kit Whoa - never lost its focus?! To each their own but Californication has progressively gone downhill each season. Still funny in parts but in terms of the quality put out in the first couple seasons? Hasn't been matched since. Now they're just playing out the string with rehashed story lines and the same tired nonsense.
