FX picks up Close's legal 'Damages'

April 03, 2007 The legal thriller, from FX Prods. and Sony Pictures Television, is set to premiere in the summer, a year after the show's creators/executive producers Todd A. Kessler, Glenn Kessler and Daniel Zelman delivered their first draft to the network. "It's a very well-written, well-acted thriller, a legal show that never goes into the court room," FX Networks president and GM John Landgraf said. Zack Van Amburg, Sony TV's co-president, programming and production, added, "There is no better combination than the right show at the right network, and we know 'Damages' is both at FX."
