Rescue Me fans will get to see new episodes of the show on FX this summer, but not as many as they're used to. A series of ten "minisodes" of the drama is scheduled to air on a weekly basis, beginning in June. Each minisode will be five minutes long, and will air at 10pm on Tuesday nights.

These shorts are taking the place of Rescue Me's fifth season, which was supposed to air over the summer. Due to strike-related delays, the 22-episode season was postponed until next year. The minisodes are meant to be stand-alone stories apart from either the previous or upcoming seasons.
