"Weeds" Gets Renewed For An Eighth Season

 All of you Weeds fans out there can breathe easy now, as Showtime has officially announced that the show will return for an eighth season with 13 new episodes on 2012.

 Last season Showtime´s highest rated comedy ended on a huge cliffhanger as Nancy and her family were having dinner while a gunman was aiming to shoot at them.

 The new season will hopefully give fans of the show some closure should this be the last bunch of new episodes for the series.

 Are you happy that Weeds is returning next year? Sound off in the comments!

"Weeds" Season Seven May Serve as Series Finale

  According to showrunner, Jenji Kohan, Weeds could end after the current seventh season airs. Kohan told EW that she is yet to renew her contract:

 "My deal's up. This is my baby but who knows. But as far as I know, we don't have a deal for season eight."

 However, Weeds executive producer Roberto Benabib confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that fans of the show will get the closure they are looking for if this turns out to be the last season:

 "We're crafting a season finale that can stand up on its own as a series finale if it has to or be a prelude to an eighth season essentially. I think what you'll see in the finale is obviously some closure to certain things, but you'll also see great potential if there should be a season eight."

Is 'Weeds' ending after next season?

 That's the word, according to series creator Jenji Kohan who has admitted to TV Guide that she feels "the seventh season is the final season". Everyone's contract is up next year, [including] the actors and mine" she said. "Seven years is a good run, and I'd rather leave while on top. I'd never say never, but I have a feeling this right be it."

 However, Kohan admits she is partly sad to see the show ending, saying:  "It's very strange and exciting and scary and sad in a lot of ways. We have such an extraordinary team".

 As far as the final farewell goes, Kohan stated that she already knows how the series is going to end:
"There are two versions of the end of the series that I've had in mind, and it would be figuring out which way to go."

 "Weeds" is one of my favourite summer shows, it has great writing and Mary Louise Parker is simply amazing as Nancy, but I have to agree with Kohan: it is time to give it closure or the stories will get absurd. I just hope that the series ends on a positive note as those characters have already gone through so much!
