Smoke 'em if you got 'em, Mary-Louise Parker fans, because the upcoming eighth season of Weeds, which premieres July 1 on Showtime, will indeed be its last.
Showtime chief David Nevins heavily implied that the end was near for Nancy Botwin Co. when he addressed the Television Critics Association convention earlier this year, and now show creator Jenji Kohan has confirmed the news. Kohan says that Weeds will return to the suburbs for its final season, but beyond that she's keeping her lips tightly zipped, saying only “we wrack our brains every year for crazy cliffhangers and we’re trying to figure out how to top ourselves” in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
The end of Weeds is an act of mercy according to many fans (and former fans), who say the show jumped the proverbial shark sometime around season four. So what's your take, Skin fans? Will you be watching the final season of Weeds? Do you think the show still has some spark, or has it been cashed for a while now? Let us know in the comments!
