‘Damages,’ ‘Nip/Tuck’ to return in early January

FX finally announced season premiere dates for two of its biggest hits: “Damages” and “Nip/Tuck,” which will both debut right after we ring in the new year.
TV Guide is reporting that the fifth season of the plastic surgery drama begins Tues., Jan. 6 at 10 p.m.
And thirteen new episodes of “Damages” kicks off the following night — Weds., Jan. 7 — in the same time slot.
When we last left Hewes & Associates, the diabolical Patty had just wrapped up her case against Arthur Frobisher, who was left for dead after being shot by one of the employees he’d swindled. And Ellen is now working with the FBI to destroy Patty. (She did try to kill Ellen and all.)
So who’s on board for the new season?
None other than two—count ‘em, two—Oscar winners. With Glenn Close’s five Oscar nods—and her recent Emmy win for playing Patty—the cast was already pretty formidable, and it keeps getting better.
William Hurt will play Daniel Purcell, a man from Patty’s mysterious past. (Hmm, Patty’s baby daddy, perhaps?) Marcia Gay Harden joins the show, too, as an attorney going up against Patty in her latest case.
And Timothy Olyphant of “Deadwood” shows up as a guy who gets caught up in Ellen’s personal and professional problems.
Wow, with “Lost” gearing up to start at 9 p.m. on ABC in late January, and “Damages” to follow on FX at 10, my winter Wednesdays are looking pretty cozy. You know where you’ll find me, fellow couch potatoes!
