Cast of Royal Pains from the USA Network website

Have you checked out the hot new television series on the USA Network yet? You might be interested to know that it not only takes place on Long Island, but it is actually filmed there also. And now that it has been renewed, who knows when you might catch a glimpse of some of the stars around town.

For those of you that haven't seen it yet, Royal Pains has a great premise. Hank (Mark Feuerstein), a doctor, loses his job at a hospital in Brooklyn and goes to the Hamptons with his brother (Paulo Costanzo) for the weekend. While at a party, Hank saves the life of a billionaire and becomes a "concierge doctor" for the Hamptons rich. Rounding out the cast are Reshma Shetty, Jill Flint, Christine Ebersole and Campbell Scott.

Royal Pains is filmed on location all over New York City and Long Island. Scenes have been filmed at OHEKA Castle in Huntington, Caumsett Historic State Park and at Old Westbury Gardens. Of course, numerous scenes are filmed in the Hamptons themselves.

Royal Pains premiered on June 4, 2009 to positive reviews. It is the number one new original series on cable in 2009. There are only a few episodes of season one, which airs Thursday nights at 10:00 on USA, left. Espisodes 4 - 7 can be watched either on the USA Network website or Hulu.com, but I haven't been able to find the first three episodes. However, the Royal Pains DVD is bound to be out in plenty of time before season 2, for new viewers to completely catch up with this wonderful new show.
