Hank (Mark Feuerstein) and Evan (Paulo Costanzo) are sticking around for another two seasons on USA's "Royal Pains." The network announced on Wednesday, Nov. 5 that the series was renewed for Seasons 7 and 8, after the Season 6 finale raked in more than 3 million viewers.
"'Royal Pains' was a breakout hit from its first episode and continues to deliver for USA and our studio," said Jeff Wachtel, President and Chief Content Officer for NBC Universal Cable Entertainment, in a statement to USA Today. "It's no easy feat to maintain a real connection with your audience season after season."
Each season will have eight episodes, with the seventh season premiering in 2015. Last season, which wrapped in September, ended with Hank joining the board of directors at Hampton Heritage Hospital. It also had two special guests, Khloe Kardashian and Scott Disick (Kourtney Kardashian's boyfriend). The "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" stars played themselves.
According to USA, "Royal Pains" will celebrate its 100th episode during Season 8.
"'Royal Pains' remains a staple for fun summer TV viewing, and we are pleased to bring back the series for two additional seasons," said Chris McCumber, President of USA Network. "We're extremely proud of both the talent and creative team, who, season after season, have brought to life to these relatable and multifaceted stories, which continue to attract a loyal fan base."
USA also renewed "Suits" for a fifth season and "Satisfaction" for a second season.
