FX has ordered 26 new episodes of Damages, which will result in two new seasons for the critically acclaimed drama. According to a TVGuide.com article, Jamie Erlicht, the Co-President of Programming and Production for Sony Pictures Television, praised FX for its support of the show.Many members of the cast were originally contracted for six years including Glenn Close, Rose Byrne, and Tate Donovan, as well as producers Todd A. Kessler, Glenn Kessler, Daniel Zelman.
While those actors will work through season two, it's not definite whether Ted Danson's character Frobisher will return at this time.
Production is scheduled to resume early next year. If the writers strike is still ongoing at that time, it might affect the production schedule. Although Damages isn't drawing huge audiences in the ratings, the network believes up to 22% of its audience records it with DVR players. The positive reviews by critics and show fans indicate that it may grow to a larger audience in time. Thus, two more seasons on the way!
