Weeds

Series two sprouts Monday, October 1 at 10.30pm on Channel Nine

Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker), the lovable pot-dealing soccer mum, is back and the marijuana business is booming when the second series of WEEDS begins Monday, October 1 at 10.30pm on Channel Nine.

This season Nancy is serious about selling weed, her bakery which sells pot-laced treats is profitable, yet it becomes increasingly difficult to protect her illegal secret, keep a low profile and perform the duties of a single mum with two young boys.

Nancy is the California girl who argues that "I'm not a dealer, I'm a mother who happens to distribute illegal products through a sham bakery" set up by her ethically questionable CPA (Certified Practicing Accountant).

The new series kicks off the morning after Nancy's night of steamy sex with Peter (Martin Donovan), whom she is shocked to learn is a Drug Enforcement Agent.

Later she evades questions from her family about her overnight absence. Her youngest son, Shane (Alexander Gould), finds his brother Silas (Hunter Parrish) and girlfriend Megan (Shoshannah Stern) having sex.

Season 3 opens in the U.S. in August ... here's a detailed review and analysis of the hilarity and darkness of the brilliant seasons one and two (spoilers, except for finale of season two, in case you haven't yet seen it)... Weeds in Perspective...

Mary-Kate Olsen, one half of the famous Olsen twins, is set to take her first solo role as separated from her twin sister Ashley. The former child-star of Full House has taken a part in the Showtime comedy Weeds, an edgy series that throws American cultural stereotypes on their heads and features a pot-dealing soccer mom who lives in a community dominated by an all-American mega-church.

Mary-Kate is apparently looking forward to the role, taking part in 10 of 15 episodes in season three of Weeds.
