FX’s controversial medical drama,
Nip/Tuck, has just wrapped up its fifth season yesterday. But production for the sixth season has already been slated for this summer, according to
TV Guide. No airdate has been set, but with the writers’ strike in the can, everything should move along as scheduled. Meanwhile, fans can relive the drama as the network launches the complete season 5 of
Nip/Tuck in DVD on May 20.
For those who are not familiar,
Nip/Tuck is an Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning television series that follows the lives of , Sean McNamara (
Dylan Walsh) and Christian Troy (
Julian McMahon), two plastic surgeons, close friends and business partners who own an overwhelmingly successful plastic surgery practice. Seasons 1 to 4 was set in Miami, Florida, where the doctors attempted to bring inner peace and contentment to their patients through external cosmetic procedures. Season 5, however, followed the doctors relocating their business to Los Angeles where they struggled for success in a city where they are professionally unknown and where residents yearn for fame.

I liked the season finale a lot, though so many cliffhangers!
Nip/Tuck also features Julia McNamara (
Joely Richardson), Matt McNamara (
John Hensley), Kimber Henry (
Kelly Carlson), and Liz Cruz (
Roma Maffia), just to name a few.
In its debut season,
Nip/Tuck was the highest-rated new series on American basic cable, and the highest rated basic cable series of all time for the 18-49 and 25-54 age demographics. The fifth season premiered on October 30, 2007, and was supposed to consist of 22 episodes, making it the longest season of the show yet. However, only 14 episodes out of the original order finished production. The last eight episodes are expected air in the fall.
Not much have been revealed about the DVD except that it’s a five-disc set that includes all the 14 episodes of the fifth season and that it will be distributed by Warner Brothers.
