Showtime pulls ‘Weeds’ after 8 seasons

Showtime’s Mary-Louise Parker pot dealer dramedy “Weeds” will end after its upcoming eighth season, the network said.

The series, which returns for its final season July 1, has followed suburban widow Nancy Botwin as she tries to provide for her family by selling pot. The setting of the Jenji Kohan-created series has shifted during its run from California to Seattle, Wash., Dearborn, Mich., New York City, and — in the Season 7 finale — to Connecticut.

Among the show’s 20 Emmy nominations, three were for Parker for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy and three for Elizabeth Perkins for Supporting Actress in a Comedy.

The show was also nominated for Best Comedy in 2009.
