"Nurse Jackie co-creators Linda Wallem and Liz Brixius are to depart the Showtime drama. The pair will not resume their roles as co-showrunners when the series, which stars Edie Falco, returns for a fifth season. A search for a new showrunner to work alongside Falco and exec Richie Jackson is already underway, reports Deadline. &amp;quot;This has been the best job of my life, but the travel, having to spend six months [in Los Angeles] and six months [in New York] and be away from home, took a toll on me,&amp;quot; said Wallem. Brixius added: &amp;quot;Nurse Jackie has been the ride of a lifetime, and for that I am especially grateful to Showtime, Lionsgate and the incomparable Edie Falco for bringing these stories to life. &amp;quot;After four years, I have decided to come home to LA - even though my heart is at All Saints.&amp;quot; The fourth season of Nurse Jackie drew a final total of 1.1m viewers when it premiered on April 8, up 7% from the third season opener. The series continues on Sundays at 9/8c on Showtime. &amp;gt; NBA star Carmelo Anthony to guest star on Nurse Jackie Watch a trailer for the fourth season of Nurse Jackie below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
