ICYMI: Nurse Jackie Return to Showtime on April 8th & * David Nevins talks the end

In its debut season, NURSE JACKIE received an Emmy nomination for “Outstanding Comedy Series” and Falco won the Emmy Award for her role as Jackie Peyton. Last season, she received her second Emmy nomination for the series. When season four returns, Jackie is coming to realize that both karma and sobriety can be a bitch. In addition to finally confronting her addiction, Jackie must also attempt to save her troubled marriage and keep her family from falling apart. 
 At work, Jackie’s street smarts and sardonic wit are tested even further by an ambitious new hospital administrator (special guest star Bobby Cannavale), determined to run a tight ship and keep her in line. The series also stars Eve Best, Merritt Wever, Paul Schulze, Dominic Fumusa, Anna Deavere Smith and Peter Facinelli. Stephen Wallem, Arjun Gupta and Lenny Jacobson guest star. Season four’s other special guest stars include acclaimed actors Rosie Perez, Aida Turturro, Joel Grey, New York Knicks’ forward Carmelo Anthony and Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong. NURSE JACKIE season three averaged 2.8 million weekly viewers across platforms. Liz Brixius and Linda Wallem write and executive produce the series along with Richie Jackson and Caryn Mandabach, who also serve as executive producers.


* David Nevins (President of Entertainment at Showtime) Talks the end of NURSE JACKIE
Will the next season of Nurse Jackie likely be the last season of the show?
NEVINS: No, I don’t think that’s fair to say. I’ve seen most of the season of Jackie. They started in the Fall. I was really pushing that she start facing some of the consequences of her action, and she does, in a big way. I think it’s a really interesting season. She is absolutely not in the same place that she’s been, for the past two seasons, and it ends up feeling like a different show. Well, it’s absolutely the same show, but the feel of the episodes is slightly tweaked, and I think it puts Jackie in a really interesting place. We’ll see what happens this season, and then make decisions, but I believe there’s life.
