Three-time Emmy Award winner Edie Falco is coming to a New York City hospital for SHOWTIME's new half-hour single camera dark comedy series "Nurse Jackie".
The series will star Falco as a strong-willed, iconoclastic New York City nurse juggling the frenzied grind of an urban hospital and an equally challenging personal life.
"Nurse Jackie" is a half-hour dark comedy that is at turns wicked, heartbreaking and funny.
Edie Falco stars as the title character Jackie Peyton, 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, 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.
The series also stars Eve Best, Peter Facinelli, Merritt Wever, Haaz Sleiman and Paul Schulze.
