USA Network's ROYAL PAINS returns on Wednesday, January 18th with an episode entitled 'A Farewell to Barnes'. The show airs Wednesdays on USA 9-10 p.m. ET.

USA's highest-rated series, ROYAL PAINS stars Mark Feuerstein as Dr. Hank Lawson who, after becoming blacklisted from the medical community, revives his career as a "doctor for hire" to the rich and famous in the Hamptons. Dr. Lawson has found his niche treating this select group of the East End elite as well as the town's less fortunate. The show also stars Paulo Costanzo, Reshma Shetty and Jill Flint. Recurring on the series are Campbell Scott as Boris, Brooke D'Orsay as Paige, Kyle Howard as Dr. Van Dyke, Joanna Garcia Swisher as Dr. Nina Greene and Tom Cavanagh as Jack O'Malley.

When viewers last saw Dr. Lawson, he was attending to an unconscious Eric Kassabian (guest star Wilmer Valderrama) after he was apparently given the wrong type of medicine by Dr. Van Dyke (guest star Kyle Howard) and Divya (Shetty). Things get tense in the summer escape of the Hamptons as Divya tries to juggle two jobs, Evan (Costanzo) tries to fit into his fiancée's complicated family life and Jill (Flint) continues to hide Divya's work secret. And most importantly, will "HankMed" lose its first patient as Kassabian life hangs in the balance?

Cavanagh returns in a multi-episode arc as Jack, a professional golfer and HankMed client. Jack's sudden return to the Hamptons surprises everyone -- especially Jill, who continues to find herself drawn to him. As Hank grows his friendship with the now healthy Jack, he will soon find himself facing a whole new set of challenges as his medical caregiver. Although Jack's previous condition has healed, he will soon discover a new medical obstacle tougher than any golf course on the tour.

ROYAL PAINS is executive-produced by Andrew Lenchewski and Michael Rauch, as well as Rich Frank, Paul Frank and Jeff Kwatinetz from Prospect Park. The series is filmed entirely in New York (Long Island and Brooklyn) and at various locations in and around the Hamptons, and has been renewed for a fourth season, which will begin production in the spring.
