Showtime Entertainment President David Nevins had this to say about the success of the series:
“Nurse Jackie is an essential part of the Showtime brand, and we are thrilled with the series’ growth in its fifth season.”
“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.”
Watch:
Clyde Phillips, who took over as showrunner after Season 4, will be back, joined by fellow exec producers Caryn Mandabach, Richie Jackson and Tom Straw. Production for the sixth season will begin this fall in New York.
