Starring Edie Falco as Jackie Peyton, a role that has earned Falco three consecutive Emmy® nominations, the new season of Nurse Jackie picks up where Season 4 left off. After leaving rehab early, Jackie finds sobriety and relative happiness – but that’s the calm before the storm. With her marriage coming to an end, a careless accident sends Jackie to her own All Saints Hospital for emergency care. While recovering, she meets New York City policeman Frank Verelli (Adam Ferrera), an exemplary cop and all around good guy, who files the police report, but his flirtatious advances may lead Jackie into uncharted territory – dating. Meanwhile, a new trauma doctor enters the mix (Morris Chestnut), a former Army medic who doesn’t adhere to typical protocol, as well as a young female resident (Betty Gilpin) who flirts her way out of her day-to-day responsibilities. With new colleagues and stepping out of her usual comfort zone, Jackie faces her one-year sobriety anniversary. The series also stars: Peter Facinelli as Dr. Fitch Cooper; Eve Best as Dr. Eleanor O’Hara; Merritt Wever as Zoey Barkow; Paul Schulze; and Dominic Fumusa as Kevin Peyton.
