Jennifer Jason Leigh has been cast as the estranged older sister of Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker) in the fifth season of Weeds.
Leigh is set to appear in at least two episodes of the series, which was picked up last year for Seasons 5 and 6.
As Nancy finds herself and her family in harm’s way, she sends her brother-in-law, Andy (Justin Kirk), to take her son, Shane (Alexander Gould), to live with her estranged older sister, Jill (Leigh).
But when Jill gets fed up with her own suburban family, she finds her way back into Nancy’s life — jealous, frustrated and intent on finally hashing things out with her little sister.
The fifth season of Weeds premieres in the US in June. Nine has still only aired two seasons in Oz.

It’s weird… I actually wrote Nancy Botwin first and went back and changed it …must’ve been on low sugar intake at the time! Thanks.
It’s Nancy Botwin, mate. Not Nancy Parker.
Great news. JJL plays a good nutter (see the 1992 camp classic Single White Female as but one example) so it will be very interesting to see what the character will be like.
Nine, just show us seasones 3,4 and 5 of Weeds. It’s a good show.
I love this show! Can’t wait for the new season to come out. Mary Louise Parker is just sensational in it. Nine you are crazy for not airing this in a decent timeslot.
I really hope they return to the suburbs this season. Last season was still great but it never really seemed to be going anywhere in particular.
Nine lost big time with Weeds, great show, great cast and Jennifer will just add to that… June is too far away LOL
