Even though the star of "Weeds," Mary-Louise Parker, speaks of the show in the past-tense, Showtime the premium cable network, has announced that Weeds has just received the green light for two more seasons of 13 shows!
The show, which is currently in it's fourth season has wrapped filming, so looking ahead to Season Five ...
Mary Louise Parker~
Nancy can't go home again~
"She's definitely going bigger picture. She's off the sales floor, as they say,"creator Jenji Kohan says.
Nancy is about to get deeply involved with drug kingpin "Esteban" (Demian Bichir).
"He is a formidable match for her...I think this is someone possibly she could imagine a real relationship with, which is something she hasn't contemplated since Judah."
Despite the welcome introduction of Albert Brooks' as Lenny Botwin, Judah and Andy's dad, Kohan said in reply to whether he'd return again this year,"Not this season. He's done."
Damn, Albert Brooks was brilliant in the inaugural episodes of Season Four. He really elevated what could have been a rather grim period for Nancy and Co. to erm, less grim.
Does Andy have eyes for Nancy? It's been looking that way of late. Creator Kohan acknowledges that Andy (Justin Kirk) does have some blossoming feelings for Nancy, but that for now those feelings are a one-way street. About Andy's crush on Nancy, Kohan says,
"I think he would be self-protective, because I don't think his feelings would be reciprocated in that way, [even though] they've entered into this partnership...Although, biblically speaking, you are supposed to take on your dead brother's wife."... "Ultimately I don't think it's going to play out this season, because she has other fish to fry."
Looking into her crystal ball, Kohan had several more comments about the future "Weeds."
"There was a lot of interest in [the writers' room about] the sister she referenced when she thought Peter was going to kill her. And there's a father floating around; not sure about a mother."
So we may get more insight into Nancy's family and background in the newly ordered season five and six. Finally, Mary-Louise Parker had this to say about the "new direction" her series has headed in:
"I think this season was the best season, season four. I think it was a brilliant and really brave idea. I love it."
So what about Dexter? (SPOILERS)
Michael C. Hall does not seem at all squeamish about dropping spoilers and this is what he had to say about the much anticipated return of Dexter this fall on Showtime:
“Dexter has turned his back on his father but is still using the code,” ...and yet, there still remains an unconscious desire for connection. And certain circumstances lead him into a relationship with Jimmy Smits’ character which satisfy that urge in him.”
Executive producer Clyde Phillips teases that Smits plays a an assistant DA with “great political ambition” and he becomes Dexter’s “first adult friend.”
Spoilers: When asked if Dexter might break the code and kill someone innocent,
Producer Clyde Phillips Phillips spoiled, “Yes, he will. And without giving too much away, I will say we can consider it dropping a pebble on a mountainside filled with snow, and it will cause an avalanche.”
Both Dexter the show, and Michael C. Hall as Dexter have been nominated for Emmy awards for the first time. Let's hope they actually watch a few of the shows before judging--and give them both much- deserved awards.
LOL. ;)
You gotta give her credit for workin' it, tho'.
