Damages - Season 3 Casting News
LOS ANGELES – Glenn Close, who won her second consecutive Emmy Award for FX's "Damages," is welcoming two new cast members to the legal drama.
Campbell Scott and Martin Short have signed on as regulars, joining Close, Rose Byrne and Tate Donovan, the network said Tuesday.
Lily Tomlin and Keith Carradine will make guest appearances on the series, which stars Close as a ruthless attorney. She won her second best drama series actress trophy at last weekend's Emmys.
Production on the third season of "Damages" starts Wednesday in New York. It debuts on FX in January.

Production on the new season is set to begin in late September, and the show will premiere in January 2010. The cast have signed up for a total of six seasons.
Season Two premiered with only 1.7 million viewers watching, even with the momentum that was built following its Golden Globe and Emmy wins. Despite the show's low ratings, FX has picked up and secured the program for its third season. John Landgraf hopes the show will continue on the air following its third season; after taking into account the encore presentations and "extraordinary" DVR numbers, the rating appear to be quite good.

Season 3 was a lock (near the end of Season 1 it was renewed for 2 more seasons (2 and 3)) but this very well may be the last season. (best show nobody watches).
I agree too that it needs a better ending this time around, just way too clean in s2.

And I absolutely hate the idea of Martin Short being on there. Darrell Hammond nearly ruined it with his constant 'who farted' expression.

Crazy. They barely got a good storyline out of Season 2. How do they expect to keep it up for four more seasons? Probably contractual to keep the actors tied down just in case. I do highly doubt, though, that the show will go that long. Season 3 should be the end if it scrapes the bottom like Season 2 did.

I highly doubt this show makes 6 seasons.
Signing the talent to 6 seasons is purely contractual so that you don't lose the rights to them. I like this show, but making it to 3 seasons is already a stretch.

I thought Season 2 was pretty strong until the finale, which took the easy route out. It was fun to watch but completely illogical.
