Showtime's "Nurse Jackie" is a half-hour dark comedy that is at turns wicked, heartbreaking and funny.
On "Nurse Jackie," Edie Falco stars as the title character Jackie O'Hurley, a strong-willed and brilliant — but very flawed — emergency room nurse in a complicated New York City hospital. A lapsed Catholic with an occasional weakness for Vicodin and Adderall to get her through the days, Nurse Jackie keeps the hospital balanced with her own kind of justice. Every day is a high wire act of juggling patients, doctors, fellow nurses and her own indiscretions.
"Nurse Jackie" also stars Eve Best, Peter Facinelli, Merritt Wever, Haaz Slieman and Paul Schulze.
"Nurse Jackie" is co-produced by Lionsgate and Showtime in association with Caryn Mandabach Productions and Madison Grain Elevator Inc. The pilot was written by Liz Brixius, Linda Wallem ("The Comeback," "That '70's Show"), and Evan Dunsky. Wallem and Brixius are executive producers and show runners. Caryn Mandabach will serve as an executive producer. Richie Jackson will serve as co-executive producer.
