'Nip/Tuck' plans (way) ahead of time for series finale

FX has yet to announce when Nip/Tuck will return for its sixth and seventh seasons, but the drama, which stars Dylan Walsh and Julian McMahon as L.A. plastic surgeons, is already set to shoot its series finale next month. The episode is not ­expected to air until 2010. What’s not clear is how creator Ryan Murphy intends to wrap his cheeky series, which also stars Joely Richardson. Murphy is still fine-tuning the script; juggling his new Fox comedy, Glee; and preparing to write and direct a big-screen version of Eat, Pray, Love. Meanwhile, EW hears that Richardson’s own mom, Vanessa ­Redgrave, will reprise her role as ­the mother of Richardson’s character in season 6.
