‘Rescue Me’ renewed by FX
Denis Leary’s New York firefighters drama “Rescue Me” will return for a fifth season next year, and a fifth-and-a-half, too. FX has ordered 22 more episodes, to be aired in two separate cycles.
That’s good news not only for Leary and fans, but for NYC film crews, since the show shoots in a Queens studio and other city environs. Production is scheduled to restart in the spring.
That’s if and when we get past the threatened writers’ strike, of course.
