Showtime’s put together a preview of the third season of Californication. The season features Hank taking a job as a professor while Charlie Runkle gives up the porn business and returns to an agency. I’ve seen no indication of what Natascha McElhone’s Karen is up to, after leaving for New York at the end of season two. Kathleen Turner shows up in ten episodes as Charlie’s new boss while Peter Gallagher will play the dean at the university for eight episodes. Diane Farr portrays a teacher’s assistant that Hank unsurprisingly becomes involved with. Ed Westwick, Eva Amurri, Embeth Davidtz and Rick Springfield will also make guest appearances. The main cast stays the same with David Duchovny, Natascha McElhone, Evan Handler, Madeleine Martin, Pamela Adlon and Madeline Zima returning.
Season three will premiere on Showtime in the fall, presumably in September.
