Justified co-star Natalie Zea has signed a new deal to continue on the acclaimed FX drama series, which has been renewed for a third season. Additionally, she has been tapped for a recurring role on the Showtime comedy series Californication. Zea was a guest star in the pilot for Justified, playing the ex-wife of Timothy Olyphant's US Marshall Givens. She was upped to regular right after the pilot with a two-year deal, which was up at the end of the show's second season, which wrapped last month. In addition to her co-starring role on Justified and her upcoming arc on Californication -- where she will play a new love interest for star David Duchovny -- Zea, repped by UTA and manager Robert Semon, guest starred in the pilot for J.J. Abrams/Jonah Nolan's upcoming CBS series Person of Interest. He recent credits also include an arc on HBO's Hung and a role in the feature comedy The Other Guys.
