Nip/Tuck Back For Season Three......

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) The plastic surgeons of FX's provocative series "Nip/Tuck" will be slicing and dicing for two more seasons.

 

Series creator Ryan Murphy has signed a deal with the network to stay on with the show for seasons three and four, along with executive producers Greer Shephard and Michael Robin, the cable network announced Tuesday (Jan. 11). The show's third season, consisting of 15 episodes, will debut in late summer or early fall.

 

"Over 'Nip/Tuck's' first two seasons, Ryan Murphy has displayed one of the sharpest and most original television voices ever," FX Entertainment president John Landgraf says. "We're overjoyed that his vision will remain in place for two more seasons."

 

Murphy's return wasn't assured as the show wound down its second season, despite strong ratings -- it's the No. 1 basic-cable series among adults 18-49 -- and Golden Globe nominations for best drama series and for stars Julian McMahon and Joely Richardson.

 

He was quoted as saying he might be done with the show after two years and a season finale in which McMahon's character, Dr. Christian Troy, appeared to be at the mercy of a killer. He was also looking ahead to directing his first feature film, an adaptation of the Augusten Burroughs memoir "Running with Scissors."

 

That project is still on track to begin filming in March, and Murphy will be back with the show for its next season.

 

"'Nip/Tuck' has been an extremely gratifying series for myself, Greer Shephard and Mike Robin to produce and direct," Murphy says. "We are anxious to being work on season three and look forward to working with our incredible cast and crew."

 

Landgraf also said Tuesday -- the opening day of the TV Critics Association winter press tour -- that FX would likely launch its fourth drama series during the summer. The network has two pilots from which to pick: "Thief," which stars Andre Braugher ("Homicide," "Gideon's Crossing") as a professional burglar, and "Over There," an Iraq-set military drama from Steven Bochco ("NYPD Blue") and "Mississippi Burning" writer Chris Gerolmo.

This is GREAT news. I'm a huge fan of Nip/Tuck, so I'm happy to hear that there will be at least two more seasons.

Great news.

FX is becoming the master of the television series and hopefully none of their series go down anytime soon.

I LOVE Nip/tuck. It's my favorite show. This is aaaaaaawesome news.

 

..and now I'm super curious as to how they start off season 3 [and what do they do with Christian?]

[Guest Flyboy]

Christian will probably just be seriously hurt -- like really fucked up. Great news to hear.. too bad Dead Like Me had to get canned by Showtime. Well, now I only hope Rescue Me will be back.

[Guest Retro Rob]

I think FX already commited to Rescue Me for another season, in a press release following the highly rated finale.

and if the ratings were't enough to get them to give Rescue Me a second season I'm sure the golden globe nominations sealed it
