The Big Picture Prime Video is paging Nurse Jackie for a sequel series with Edie Falco back as the troubled medical professional. Previously announced last year alongside a reboot of another Showtime success, Weeds, the new show has changed hands mid-development, leaving its original network behind for Amazon, per an exclusive report from Variety.
The new show will follow up with Jackie ten years after the series finale that left her at death's door. Season 7's ending saw Jackie suffer a near-fatal overdose as All Saints was wrapping up its final day of operation, and the official synopsis reveals that she's still dealing with the consequences of her actions.
Although Nurse Jackie is moving on, the network formerly known as Showtime is still very much in the franchising business. In addition to the new Weeds series, multiple spinoffs are being conceived around one of its most popular recent series, Billions, and its old favorite, Dexter. Its few original series left are still going strong too, with Yellowjackets gearing up for its much-anticipated third season and The Chi recently being ordered for a seventh.
