FX sets ‘Justified’ season 2 premiere date

“Justified,” the FX drama about a 21st century U.S. Marshal who carries himself like a 19th century gunfighter, will be ready to slap leather again when its second season debuts on Wednesday, February 9 at 10 p.m.

Per the FX press release, in season two, after wiping out a local Kentucky crime syndicate in season one, Raylan “must now face off against the criminal organizations who are moving to fill the void, and he finds himself entangled once again with the mercurial Boyd Crowder.”

Interesting that it winds up on Wednesdays. Tuesday at 10 is the night where FX tends to put its better-known dramas, and newbies are often consigned to Wednesdays if there’s another show airing in the same period. (Because of their content, all FX series air after 10, which means the network can’t pair two dramas on the same night.) The new boxing drama “Lights Out,” which debuts Jan. 11, already has Tuesday sewn up for the first few months of the year, and I guess FX decided A)that “Justified” was successful enough in its first year to do just fine on Wednesdays, and B)that the idea of putting the lesser-known show on the lesser-known night didn’t work out too well for “Terriers” this fall.
