FX says it will end its drama series Rescue Me in 2011 after seven seasons. 19 additional episodes of the show have been ordered by FX. They will likely be broken up into two blocks with nine or 10 airing next year and the remainder coming in 2011.
Rescue Me has earned seven Emmy nominations over the five seasons that have aired thus far, including two for star/co-creator Denis Leary’s work as psychologically damaged firefighter Tommy Gavin. Leary and co-creator Peter Tolan were also nominated for a writing Emmy in 2005, and guest star Michael J. Fox is nominated this year.
