Weeds gets 4th series

While the plug is being pulled on US shows left, right and centre, some good news from Showtime which has announced a fourth series for Weeds.

The risque drama is due to go into production in April, subject to the outcome of the WGA strike. It will have 13 eps, 2 short of the current season.

In Australia the Nine Network is only halfway through the second season, with a modest but vocal audience, unhappy with interruptions to the screening.
