According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Tara" will end after its third season finishes airing this summer. The comedy starred Collette as a mother who suffers from multiple personalities. The show premiered in 2009 to solid ratings, the report notes, but began to lose viewers as seasons continued.
Collette won an Emmy in 2009 and a Golden Globe in 2010 for her work on the show.
"Nurse Jackie," on the other hand, has averaged 2.8 million viewers a week during its third season, THR reports. Falco won an Emmy for playing title role in 2010.
The show's season finale airs next month.
