By Nellie Andreeva

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Former "24" co-stars Reiko Aylesworth and Sarah Wynter will reunite on FX's drama series "Damages."

Both actresses have signed for recurring roles on the legal thriller's upcoming third season alongside new regulars Martin Short and Campbell Scott.

The plot line for the series is being kept under wraps but it is said to center on a financial scheme.

Wynter will play a mysterious "security specialist" helping a high-level assistant district attorney (Short) unravel the scam. Aylesworth will play the wife of Scott's character, who is tied to the scandal.

Wynter and Aylesworth appeared together on Season 2 of "24." Aylesworth spent two more seasons on "24" and also recurred on NBC's "ER" and ABC's "Lost." Wynter is coming back from a hiatus following the birth of her son.
