Television Production has a tradition of dropping promotional material millennia in advance, and Californication is no exception. With teasers dropping quicker than a pair of panties in Hank Moody’s bedroom, this new snippet from Showtime hints at revelations which will titillate fans to no end. This includes some fresh cast members, most notably being the RZA. Aka Bobby Digital, aka Samurai Apocalypse.

Words cannot do justice to the potentially celestial level of coolness RZA could bring to Californication. The season five rule of studio production dictates that you change direction or you sink, and a direction change has definitely been struck for this rock n roll shaker of a show.

The show has always been imbued with a rare balance. Wonderfully whimsical and beautifully poignant in equal parts, it is a textbook example of how to walk the tight rope between comedy and drama. We can only hope that Kapinos and co can keep on walking despite the huge change of direction the show is taking in its fifth incarnation. Season 5 airs in April 2011.
