I hate to say it, but it’s about time….
Showtime has confirmed that Weeds will end its run after its upcoming eighth season.
“Weeds has been a seminal series for Showtime and was key in establishing the network as a home for great original programming,” said Showtime’s entertainment president David Nevins. “It was very important to us that we bring the story of Nancy Botwin and her family to a satisfying conclusion for the devoted fans who have spent years following these characters.”
It was a wonderfully bold show in its early seasons, but frankly I’m surprised it wasn’t axed earlier than this.
The final 13 episodes of Weeds will begin airing in the US in July 1, including its 100th episode.
But there’s some good news with more from creator Jenji Kohan on the way with a new series in the works for Netflix, Orange Is The New Black.

This was a great show. Along with Breaking Bad it has used a usually taboo subject (in polite sociality) to carve out original and unique storylines. Was there ever any other funnier character than Celia Hodes? Farewell Nancy!
i just hope that Gem airs the new season of Weeds soon, as i really want to watch The Big C that has followed Weeeds like previous years!
I totally expected this decision and am happy that the series will get an ending…. But will Nancy find happiness, I wonder??
Love the show from the start, can’t wait for the final season, it will be missed when it’s over.
I think the shows seen better days. I still enjoy it though. I just like checking in with the Botwins every year. Seeing what’s up.
Hopefully there’s a good ending. Probably time though.
I enjoyed Weeds for the first few seasons but gave up when Nine kept stuffing it about. Have caught bits and pieces since but it seemed to have lost its spark.
Also, given that the lead is female, Nevins should prob refer to the show as a ‘germinal’ series rather than ‘seminal’.
It seems like only yesterday Nine began airing it…and pretty much immediately started messing it around their schedule
ahh some things never change
I’m not surprised. But it was an amazing series and I can’t wait to see how it ends!!
