Both are back for their third seasons, per last year’s renewal. As a sidenote, Showtime has announced that their new drama, The Borgias, will debut on April 3rd. Here’s the (brief) press release…
“Nurse Jackie” and “United States of Tara” Return on March 28th, “The Borgias” Premieres April 3rd on Showtime
On Monday, March 28th at 10 PM, Edie Falco returns in her Emmy(R)-winning and Golden Globe(R) nominated role in NURSE JACKIE. Picking up right where last season left off, the third season begins with Jackie Peyton facing an unwanted intervention.
Immediately following at 10:30 PM, UNITED STATES OF TARA returns for a third season with Toni Collette in her Golden Globe winning turn as a mother struggling with DID. This season Eddie Izzard stars a college professor who presents a challenge to Tara when she decides to go back to school.
On Sunday, April 3rd from 9-11 PM, the lavish production of THE BORGIAS comes to SHOWTIME.

cant wait!!!!
I loved United States of Tara, but last season was kinda schizo and dull in some parts. Nurse jackie, I’m on the fence about that one. Sometimes it is interesting and other times, I’m like, is this a comedy or drama?
Good to hear about urse jackie and the united states of tara. But excellent shows. But the Borgias is mideval just like one show Showtime dumped last year. They dumped a mideval show for a mideval show. WTF? Is what I’m thinking. But Jeremy Irons is pretty good. I loved him in Die Hard 3. So I’ll check it out. But I know Johnathan Ryes Meyers has gotta be cursing Showtime now. Call me crazy.
