"Royal Pains" Season 5 is a drama series that returns on USA Network with Hank Lawson (Mark Feuerstein) — after spending the winter recuperating from brain surgery — ready to return to work on the first weekend of summer — or so he thinks. With their Hamptons medical concierge service, HankMed, busier than ever and Boris' (recurring guest star Campbell Scott) death still a mystery, Hank finds himself relying on Jeremiah (new series regular Ben Shenkman) in a very surprising way. Evan's (Paulo Costanzo) rescue of an influential neighbor (recurring guest star Frances Conroy) has unexpected consequences for his future. Paige's (Brooke D'Orsay) work at an auction house gives her an eye-opening look into Boris' estate. A newly single Divya (Reshma Shetty) finds her plan to focus solely on work hitting an unexpected snag after the return of an ex. And a change in ownership at the local hospital brings new complications for HankMed. Callum Blue will recur this season as Milos, Boris' cousin.

Season 4 finds Hank embarking on a fresh start with his medical practice and separating from his brother Evan, who also starts his own venture. As Divya attempts to reconcile the brothers, HankMed teams up once more in the face of a Hampton's emergency.



Season 3 addresses many unresolved questions: will Hank and Jill rekindle their relationship? Will Divya and Raj (Rupak Ginn) survive the plague scare and break off their marriage? What will become of Eddie (Henry Winkler) now that the government has sentenced him to prison, is there a wealthy Baron that will help him out of this situation?

USA Network's "Royal Pains" centers on Hamptons' newest doctor-on-demand, Hank Lawson (Mark Feuerstein, "What Women Want," "In Her Shoes," "Good Morning Miami"). After Hank, a young doctor on the fast track to success, fell from grace when he was blamed for the death of a hospital trustee, he inadvertently stumbled into the world of private medical service for the elite denizens of the Hamptons. With the encouragement of his younger brother Evan (Paulo Costanzo, "Joey") and an ambitious young woman who volunteered to be his physician's assistant, Hank reluctantly agreed to be a "Concierge Doctor" for the summer. But will he be able to treat his high-flying clients while still managing to keep his own feet on the ground?

"Royal Pains" is the first original series production from Universal Cable Productions for USA Network. The series co-stars Reshma Shetty ("30 Rock") and Jill Flint ("Gossip Girl") with Campbell Scott ("Six Degrees") and Christine Ebersole ("Saturday Night Live"). Henry Winkler, Brooke D'Orsay and Rupak Ginn recur on series.

"Royal Pains" is executive produced by Rich Frank ("Comanche Moon"), Paul Frank ("Comanche Moon") and Jeff Kwatinetz ("Big Momma's House") from Prospect Park and written and co-executive produced by Andrew Lenchewski ("UC: Undercover"). John Rogers ("Hide & Seek") serves as co-executive producer. Jace Alexandar ("Burn Notice," "Warehouse 13") directed the pilot and will serve as directing producer on the series.
