Copyright 1997-2007 Omniture, Inc. More info available at FX has set a return date for ldquo;Rescue Me, rdquo; which will begin its new season just after the network rsquo;s springtime series come to an end.
The fourth season of the show is scheduled to premiere June 12, a week after ldquo;The Shield rdquo; ends its current season.
The new episodes will feature Susan Sarandon reprising her guest role from last season, along with appearances by Jerry Adler ( ldquo;The Sopranos rdquo;), Jennifer Esposito ( ldquo;Related rdquo;) and Larenz Tate ( ldquo;Love Monkey rdquo;).
There rsquo;s also a good deal to sort out among the regular characters. When last we left Tommy Gavin (co-creator/star Denis Leary), he was passed out in a burning house along with his on-and-off lover Sheila (Callie Thorne).
The situation at Tommy rsquo;s firehouse, 62 Truck, was also in flux as several firefighters were preparing to move on.
It rsquo;s probably safe to assume Tommy survived the blaze, as FX notes he rsquo;ll strike up a relationship with Nona (Esposito), a volunteer firefighter. Tate will play a probie that the 62 Truck crew is trying to recruit, and Adler will play the house rsquo;s new chief.
FX will also roll out the third season of ldquo;It rsquo;s Always Sunny in Philadelphia rdquo; and the new drama ldquo;Damages rdquo; this summer.
Just days from the start of the network upfronts, a healthy amount of buzz is beginning to coalesce around several pilots.
Predicting what will actually end up on the nets rsquo; schedules is, at best, an inexact science mdash; to quote screenwriter William Goldman, ldquo;Nobody knows anything.
rdquo; But sifting through some of the chatter about the 90-plus pilots the five broadcast networks have made this spring, several names keep coming up.
Among the apparently surer things to land spots on the 2007-08 schedule are ABC rsquo;s drama ldquo;Dirty Sexy Money rdquo; and The CW rsquo;s ldquo;Gossip Girl. rdquo; The former stars Peter Krause ( ldquo;Six Feet Under rdquo;) as the harried lawyer for a wealthy family; the cast also includes William Baldwin, Samaire Armstong, Jill Clayburgh and Donald Sutherland.
ABC also reportedly likes ldquo;Marlowe, rdquo; an updated take on Raymond Chandler rsquo;s detective; ldquo;Perfect Gentlemen, rdquo; starring Michael Vartan and Josh Malina, among others; and ldquo;Pushing Daisies, rdquo; a drama from Bryan Fuller ( ldquo;Wonderfalls, rdquo; ldquo;Heroes rdquo;) whose touch can revive the dead. The ldquo;Grey rsquo;s rdquo; spinoff ldquo;Private Practice rdquo; also stands a decent chance.
