The final season will find Hank joining the writer's room as his never-released film Santa Monica Cop now becomes a television series of the same name. He's riled frequently by his boss, the show's old-school executive producer Rick Rath (Michael Imperioli), and his fellow writing team members. But he's thrown by the reemergence of old friend Julia (Heather Graham), whose arrival causes chaos in Hank's already hectic life, and with his on-off relationship with Karen (Natasha McElhone).
