Nurse Jackie ran for seven seasons on Showtime and followed Falco’s character, an emergency-room nurse who was addicted to drugs. The new series will pick up a decade after the events of the series finale, which ended with Jackie snorting heroin and then collapsing at the hospital. Though she’s lost her nursing license, Variety reports, she’s “back on her feet” and “The continuation of her story will find her facing new dilemmas in trying to be good in a world where being bad is often not only easier, but a lot more fun.”
