DIRECTV’s Audience Network
(http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/content/premiums/audience) heats up
this summer with the season five premiere of the Emmy and Golden
Globe Award-winning, critically acclaimed legal thriller,
DAMAGES, starring Emmy Award-winner Glenn Close and Emmy
Award-nominee Rose Byrne, on Wednesday, July 11 at 9 p.m. The
fifth and final season of the series, which has been nominated for
nineteen Emmy Awards, centers on the timely and controversial
subject of government and corporate transparency, focusing on how
the ever-changing digital landscape shapes the way in which
information is obtained and shared. DAMAGES is produced by Sony
Pictures Television in association with FX Productions and KZK
Productions.
In true DAMAGES fashion, the season features a stellar array of
stars including Ryan Phillippe, who joins the cast as a
series regular. Emmy Award-nominee Jenna Elfman, Academy
Award-nominee Janet McTeer, John Hannah, Chris
Messina, Judd Hirsch, M. Emmett Walsh, Victor
Garber, William Sadler, Gbenga Akinnagbe,
Gillian Alexy and Zachary Booth will be featured
throughout the season. DAMAGES was created and executive produced
by KZK (Todd A. Kessler, Daniel Zelman and Glenn
Kessler) and co-executive produced by Mark A. Baker.
DAMAGES (http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/content/damages)
follows the lives of Patty Hewes (Glenn Close), the nation’s
most revered and reviled high-stakes litigator and her former
protégé, the bright and ambitious Ellen Parsons (Rose
Byrne). After four seasons of professional and personal
manipulation and deceit, season five sets the stage for the final
showdown between Patty and Ellen. Channing McClaren (Ryan
Phillippe) is a computer expert and the iconoclastic founder of
a website, McClarenTruth.org, devoted to government and corporate
transparency. When McClaren is approached by Naomi Walling
(Jenna Elfman), an investment bank employee troubled by her
company’s conduct with insider information, it lays the foundation
for the case that will finally pit Patty and Ellen against one
another. In an attempt to triumph over her former mentor, Ellen
hires Kate Franklin (Janet McTeer), a one time colleague of
Patty’s who is all too familiar with how she operates, but whose
loyalty could be called into question. Adding to the turmoil
surrounding the case is Rutger Simon (John Hannah), the
chief lieutenant and gatekeeper for McClaren. As the series builds
to its electrifying conclusion, far more than the verdict is at
stake for everyone involved.
Since its premiere in 2007, DAMAGES has received a total of
nineteen Emmy Award nominations. In its first season, the series
was nominated for an Emmy for Best Drama series and Glenn Close won
the Emmy for Lead Actress in a Drama Series, an award she has won
twice for her role as Patty Hewes. In addition to DAMAGES’ multiple
Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Series, Acting, and Casting,
the show has also received Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding
Writing and Outstanding Direction.
DAMAGES has been nominated for seven Golden Globe Awards. In its
first season, the series earned more Golden Globes nominations than
any other show on television, with Glenn Close winning for Best
Actress in a TV Series – Drama.
In addition to a variety of other wins and nominations, DAMAGES
has been nominated for awards from the Writers Guild and the
Producers Guild.
