LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – The ratings-challenged FX drama "Damages" has been rescued by DirecTV.
Glenn Close, Rose Byrne and other major cast members are on board for two more seasons (20 episodes) of the Emmy-nominated show. The satellite company is also picking up the rights to air Seasons 1-3.
Unlike DirecTV's salvation of "Friday Night Lights," where the show airs on DirecTV and then NBC, the new episodes of the Sony-produced drama will air only on DirecTV.
The legal drama, which wrapped its third season in April, will compete for five Emmys next month, including best actress in a drama (Close). It secured a total of four wins in the previous two years.
