Showtime Cancels ‘Weeds’, Season 8 Will Be The Series Last

The plug has been pulled on Weeds. The Showtime series is being cancelled, and the upcoming eight season will be the series last.

“There were two shows, Weeds and Dexter, that really got Showtime taken seriously for cutting-edge original programming,” Showtime entertainment president David Nevins told EW.com, which broke the news. “How they get brought home is really important. In this case, both for the sake of the two women behind the show [Kohan and Golden Globe-winning star Mary-Louise Parker] and an audience that’s really invested in the show. TV fans love nothing better to complain about how shows end and we really want to end this one the right way.”

Weeds season eight premieres July 1st.
