TNT Renews Jada Pinkett Smith's Nurse Drama

Jada Pinkett SmithNurse dramas are all the rage these days. The Hollywood Reporter says that Hawthorne - a nurse drama starring Jada Pinkett Smith - has been renewed for a second season.
During its first season, "Hawthorne," which anchors TNT's Tuesday original-programming block at 9 p.m., is averaging 3.8 million viewers, a 69% improvement in the time slot.

"'Hawthorne' has been a great addition to TNT's lineup of original series, and Jada Pinkett Smith's performance has been a tremendous draw with viewers," said Michael Wright, executive vp and head of programming at TNT, TBS and TCM.

Created by John Masius, "Hawthorne" stars Pinkett Smith as Christina Hawthorne, a compassionate and headstrong chief nursing officer at Richmond Trinity Hospital.
Showtime's Nurse Jackie was also renewed and NBC has a nurse drama caled Mercy coming this fall. They probably can't all be hits but two out of three getting renewed already shows the tv execs like what they see.
