The sun is setting on Royal Pains. The farewell season of Royal Pains kicks off Wednesday, May 18 at 10 p.m.
The upcoming eighth season of the USA Network medical drama will be its last, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The final eight-episode run, which was part of a two-season pickup in November 2014, will include the show's 100th episode as well as special musical episode featuring guest star Cloris Leachman.
“Under the direction of talented showrunners Michael Rauch and Andrew Lenchewski, our entire ensemble cast led by Mark Feuerstein, and amazing crew, Royal Pains took viewers on a remarkable, unforgettable journey for eight wonderful seasons,” NBCUniversal Entertainment Networks president Chris McCumber said. “While summer in the Hamptons may never be the same, this last season promises to be an epic ride.”
Added NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment CCO Jeff Wachtel: “Eight seasons of unadulterated joy! Michael, Chewy, Mark and the entire Royal Pains team have been a joy to work with since day one. We will thank them forever for creating such a wonderful way to spend our summers."
The final season will welcome back fan-favorites like Campbell Scott, Christine Ebersole and Jill Flint, as well as guest stars including Annie Potts (Designing Women), Teri Polo (The Fosters), Sebastian Roche (The Vampire Diaries), Constance Wu (Fresh off the Boat) and Ana Ortiz (Devious Maids).
"It's with great sadness, but even greater thankfulness, that we prepare for our final summer sunsets as Royal Pains comes to an end. We couldn't have imagined a more talented and dedicated writers' room, cast, or crew, and we couldn't have asked for better partners than USA Network and Universal Cable Productions,” Lenchewski and Rauch said in a joint statement. “We want to thank Bonnie Hammer, Chris McCumber, Jeff Wachtel and every other member of our network and studio family for tirelessly supporting us over eight magical seasons, and more importantly, for giving us the opportunity to complete this series on our own terms. We'll always have The Hamptons."
