On Sunday, April 13, NURSE JACKIE and CALIFORNICATION make their returns (this will be the final season of the latter) in the 9PM hour, followed by the 4-part documentary series YEARS OF LIVING DANGEROUSLY, about climate change. On May 11, the new historical thriller PENNY DREADFUL, which features a fully-stocked pantry of monsters (Dracula, Frankenstein, Dorian Gray),takes over the 10PM hour.
