Showtime renews 'Tara,' 'Nurse Jackie' -- The Live Feed | THR: "Showtime renews 'Tara,' 'Nurse Jackie'
Showtime has renewed 'Nurse Jackie' and 'United States of Tara' for third seasons.
The pickup comes after both shows returned strong for their second season debuts in the ratings Monday night, with 'Jackie' having its most-watched episode ever.
'Showtime is enormously proud of these two series starring two of the best actresses working today,” said Robert Greenblatt, president of entertainment, Showtime. “Both are iconic shows for our brand and our thanks to the dedicated producers, cast, and crews who work so hard to make them so great. Edie Falco's portrayal of the fierce 'Jackie' is another extraordinary example of her range and brilliance, and recent Emmy and Golden Globe wins for Toni Collette in her tour de force role as a woman with multiple personalities put her in a class by herself. Strong women will continue to rule on this network for a long time to come.'"
