LOS ANGELES, CA – September 10, 2014 – After six award-winning and
critically-acclaimed seasons, Nurse Jackie, the SHOWTIME hit comedy starring
the extraordinary Edie Falco, will begin production this week on its seventh
and final season, it was announced today by David Nevins, President, Showtime
Networks Inc. The series, which premiered in 2009, instantly became one of
the network’s signature series, garnering multiple awards, including several
Emmy® Awards, a Humanitas Prize, an AFI Award for “Outstanding Television
Program” and several Prism Awards for its depiction of substance abuse. It
has also placed its star Edie Falco in the rare position of being the only
actress to ever win the lead acting Emmy Awards in both comedy and drama, and
the most nominated television performer in Screen Actors Guild Awards
history. As one of the highest-rated SHOWTIME comedies, as well as the network
’s top female skewing comedy, Nurse Jackie averaged 3.4 million weekly
viewers across platforms in its sixth season, once again outperforming its
prior season. Nurse Jackie is a co-production between SHOWTIME and Lionsgate.
“Edie is one of our finest actresses,” said Nevins. “We are so honored to
have had her on the network. She creates indelible characters and Nurse
Jackie Peyton is no exception. I know this final season will bring her story
to a close that will satisfy the ever-growing number of loyal viewers who
have been entranced and, at times, appalled by Jackie through the years. I
want to thank Edie, the incredible cast of NURSE JACKIE and Clyde Phillips
and Richie Jackson who have led the show to the success that it is today.”
"It is with great sadness and pride that we and SHOWTIME bid farewell to such
an outstanding series like NURSE JACKIE, its stellar cast led by the
incomparable Edie Falco, brilliant producing team led by Clyde Phillips and
Richie Jackson, and the entire NURSE JACKIE family of craftspeople and
artists that bring this show to rapt audiences year after year,” said Kevin
Beggs, Chairman, Lionsgate Television. “We consider ourselves lucky to have
been part of the NURSE JACKIE story and look forward to an Unforgettable
final season"
