Just days after the second season premiere, Showtime has given an early third season order to "Nurse Jackie".


"Edie Falco's portrayal of the fierce 'Jackie' is another extraordinary example of her range and brilliance... Strong women will continue to rule on this network for a long time to come." states Showtime President Rober Greenblatt.




The show has been ordered for 12 additional episodes and will go into production later this year, presumably to return in the spring of 2011.



"Nurse Jackie" received its first awards attention with Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild nominations for star Edie Falco.

The series co-stars Eve Best, Merritt Wever, Paul Schulze, Dominic Fumusa, Anna Deavere Smith and Peter Facinelli.
