FX is close to renewing the modern Western crime drama series "Justified" for a third season, according to Deadline.com.

The renewal would come after FX canceled "Lights Out," its well-reviewed boxing drama, as previously reported.

Deadline.com points out that even though "Justified" hit a season low among viewers 18 to 49 years old this week, it’s performing better than it did in the first season because of its strength with DVR viewing.
