Nurse Jackie Sequel Show With Original Star Gets First Major Update

The planned Nurse Jackie sequel show, with original star Edie Falco, has received a major development update. The hit comedy-drama, which became Falco’s first leading role post-Sopranos, debuted on Showtime in June 2009, running for seven seasons and 80 episodes, before concluding in June 2015. Nurse Jackie received critical acclaim during its run, and is widely regarded as one of Falco’s best television roles, having won her fourth Primetime Emmy Award for her performance. Following the show’s conclusion, there was talk of a Nurse Jackie season 8 renewal, with a sequel show entering development in early 2023.
