The Nurses cast is made up primarily of actors local to Canada. But one of the leads characters, or the Meredith Grey of the show, if you will, Grace, has a recognizable face. She's played by Tiera Skovbye, who is known for her role as Polly Cooper on Riverdale, which is also filmed in Canada, and Season 2 of USA’s Dirty John. Tiera told Decider in an interview that she has high hopes for Nurses now that it was picked up by such a big network.

"Sometimes, Canada feels like the little brother to the States," she said. "We have to almost prove ourselves. To be a Canadian show, we’ve done two seasons in [Toronto], and then to be recognized on a big scale like NBC is everything we could hope for, making a show like this."

Watch Nurses on Mondays at 10 p.m. ET on NBC on Dec. 7 and Dec. 14, and then Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET beginning on Jan. 5, 2021.
