“It’s with great sadness, but even greater thankfulness, that we prepare for our final summer sunsets, as Royal Pains comes to an end,” said exec producer/series creator Andrew Lenchewski and fellow EP Michael Rauch in a statement. “We want to thank our [entire] 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.”
Per USA, Season 8 will find Hank (Mark Feuerstein) grappling with whether his professional fulfillment equals his personal fulfillment, while Evan (Paulo Costanzo) and Paige (Brooke D’Orsay) must examine what family really means to them.
