14 DAY TRIAL // With only a few days to go until the Season 5 finale, Showtime is confirming that “Nurse Jackie” will return for another season, The Hollywood Reporter writes.
The critically acclaimed Edie Falco comedy has seen a boost in ratings this past season, which is also the first under a new showrunner, Clyde Phillips, whose previous work includes the killer series “Dexter,” also on Showtime.
THR says that Phillips is on board for season 6 as well, with Caryn Mandabach, Richie Jackson, and Tom Straw as executive producers.
“Nurse Jackie is an essential part of the Showtime brand, and we are thrilled with the series' growth in its fifth season,” Showtime Entertainment president David Nevins says in a statement.
“Under the new leadership of Clyde Phillips, and with an amazing cast led by Edie Falco, this show is as sharp and compelling and entertaining as ever. I’m excited to get to see the next chapter in Jackie’s life,” Nevins adds.
