Glenn Close is making a mistake. Why do "movie" stars decide to join a weekly series, then bail after one year because, they want to live in NY with their families, the 14 hour workdays are too long, etc.? Lena Olin said the same kinda isht. Anyway, the show will be back, eff a Glenn Close.

FX Protects 'The Shield' for Another Season
(Thursday, May 19 12:00 PM)

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) FX is on the verge of announcing a deal to bring the Emmy-winning procedural "The Shield" back for a fifth season.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, FX is close to ordering up 13 new episodes for the drama, which is still four episodes from completing its latest season. Production won't wrap on the fourth season until June 14.

After losing some of its ratings momentum in its third run, "The Shield" is averaging 3.2 million viewers per week this season, an improvement of roughly 700,000 viewers. Ratings among adults 18-49 are also up.


Series star Michael Chiklis has received two Emmy nominations for his performance as bad boy cop Vic Mackey, winning in 2002. In 2003, Chiklis won a best actor Golden Globe and the series snagged the Globe for best television series, drama. Addition interest has come this season thanks to the addition of Oscar nominated actress Glenn Close.
Just last week, though, it was reported that Close wouldn't be returning for another season, having made it clear to producers up front that she would only commit to one year.

An FX renewal would close a busy week for "Shield" creator Shawn Ryan. On Wednesday (May 18), CBS ordered his drama "The Unit" for a midseason slot.
