Showtime Fast-Tracking Edie Falco Pilot

Showtime is fast-tracking a dark comedy project starring Edie Falco says The Hollywood Reporter. The pilot is a single-camera comedy starring Falco as a strong-willed, iconoclastic New York City nurse juggling the frenzied grind of an urban hospital and an equally challenging personal life.

The pilot, co-produced by Showtime and Lionsgate TV, will go into pre-production immediately and will be shot in New York. The pilot was written by Evan Dunsky. Linda Wallem and Liz Brixius will serve as executive producers/show runners and writers. Caryn Mandabach is also an exec producer.
