On the heels of record ratings for their second season debuts, two of SHOWTIME'S critically and audience acclaimed original comedy series NURSE JACKIE and the Emmy(R) winning UNITED STATES OF TARA, have both been renewed for a third season. Both half-hour comedy series have received 12 episode orders and will go into production later in the year. The announcement was made today by Robert Greenblatt, President of Entertainment, Showtime Networks Inc.

As previous reported, Oscar winning producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron will produce a new project created by Hairspray's Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman in collaboration with Showtime and Steven Spielberg to 'put on a show about putting on a Broadway show.'
