FX orders sixth season of 'Rescue Me'

The fifth season of Denis Leary's "Rescue Me" doesn't premiere for two months, but FX is already ordering a sixth round.

The network picked up another 18 episodes of the critically acclaimed show from Sony. The 22-episode fifth season starts April 7.

"We’re amazed by the quality of episodes for the upcoming fifth season, which are some of the best they’ve ever produced," said FX president John Landgraf in a statement. "I believe this show will continue to maintain a level of excellence for several years to come, and we’re thrilled to pick it up for a sixth season."

In addition, Leary is launching “The Rescue Me Comedy Tour,” an 11-city tour featuring the actor, fellow comedians and "Rescue Me" co-stars Adam Ferrara and Lenny Clarke. The tour includes a stop at Radio City Music Hall on April 2, a performance that will benefit the Leary Firefighters Foundation.
