FX has ordered two more seasons of Damages after the first one averaged 5.1m total viewers for the cable channel.
Production is scheduled to begin on the 13-episode second season early next year in New York; however, the current Writers Guild of America work stoppage could delay any production start date.
"FX is proud of our status as a leader in fostering bold, high quality scripted programming," said FX president and general manager John Landgraf. "We commend [creator/exec producer team of] Todd A. Kessler, Glenn Kessler, Daniel Zelman and their magnificent cast, headed by Glenn Close, with pulling off this hugely ambitious series and establishing Damages as one of the best dramas on American television.
"We and Sony Pictures Television have a history, also spanning The Shield and Rescue Me, of nurturing such programming together, and we thank them for their continued support. We're enormously pleased to announce jointly that the fans of Damages will be able to enjoy the series for at least two more seasons."
The show's first season will air in the UK on BBC One early next year.
