Exclusive: Damages' Season 2 Verdict is In!

Glenn Close in Damages by Larry Riley/FX Forget Frobisher. Patty Hewes just scored the most important win of her career. Although an FX spokesperson is denying it, reliable sources are telling me that Damages has been picked up for a second, 13-episode season. A rather surprising turn of events given the show's recent ratings woes, but, hey, I'll take it! Now, for the $500 million question: What the heck will Season 2 look like? Patty Hewes goes after Hostess for getting her hooked on Ho Hos, perhaps? Leave a Comment

I've really been in to Damages, but it has definitely felt more like a long miniseries than a television show. I'm not sure how they could pull of a second season, but I'll watch it.

This is good news. Thanks, Mike! Like everyone else, I'm really curious to see what season 2 could look like.

I am genuinely thrilled to read this. Damages is so beautifully twisty, and I really didn't want to see it end in just three episodes. [/greedy]

So excited! I love this show. I just hope that the 2nd season has a great mystery like this year. I hope that Ellen and Tom will be back!

I would actually like to see the second season go the way of Murder One and split the main "case" plotline up into two cases, maybe one for six eps and one for seven, then have a secondary plotline in the background for the whole season.

Or, maybe better, have one case be at the forefront for the first six episodes, with a second case as a secondary back plot, then when the first case gets "resolved" mid-season, have the second case move to the fore, and treat the aftermath of the first as the subplot for the second half.

I guess we will have to wait and see where this season ends up before we can even speculate where a second season will go! The only thing I can assume is that Patty Hewes will be there!

Happy to hear this one! Thanks. While I too am stumped on where Season 2 can take things, I trust the writers and prefer them having the oppertunity to find out than it being cancelled. And if in the unlikely event Season 2 does end up sucking, we can all just pretend those episodes never existed and have a nice long twisty miniseries in Season 1.

Maybe it will be Patty v. Ellen in court. Again, I have no idea how this season will end, but I can totally see that happening.

I really hope your info is correct. What a shame it would be to drop a quality show that really makes you think, as opposed to the plethora of reality shows. Looking forward to rest of this season and the next one.

What fabulous news!! I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to see how in heck they'll wrap this wonderfully addictive show up. I have my guesses and theories but so far I've been totally wrong. So I'll wait to say anything.

Damages is one of the BEST high drama series to air in a long time. I find it every bit as gripping as 24. Deserves 2nd season absolutely!

The Greatest News So Far This Year if True. Damages in my opinion was the Best Drama Series Show on TV last season. Story line was great, acting was superb. Fox if true has made a great decision in Having a Season 2.
How could they go wrong with Glenn Close as the Golden Globes proved. 3 Cheers for Fox on the decision. If the ratings were low maybe that could be attributed to it's airing on FX which a lot of the viewing public just might not have access to. This is one of the few TV Shows I set my schedule around to watch.
