Why You Don't Hear About Mary-Louise Parker Anymore

As is the law with most long-running TV shows, “Weeds” has been subjected to rumors of a reunion for several years now. In 2019, it was revealed that Starz was interested in reviving the dramedy, which starred Mary-Louise Parker as a suburban mom whose unlikely pivot into drug dealing leads to a life of increasing peril.

Nothing ever came to fruition, but four years later, the show’s original network was said to be mulling over a possible return, too. Allegedly, Showtime would also invite Parker’s Nancy Botwin back into the fold, something which the actor told Newsweek she’d definitely be on board with: “I just love the cast so, so, much. I mean, I watched those kids grow up and even today Hunter [Parrish] and I are super, super close.”

But not all former cast members are on the same page. When asked about the possibility of a “Weeds” comeback, Justin Kirk, aka Nancy’s brother-in-law Andy, told Variety, “Even as a fan, do you really want to see us all old and coming back? By the time of season eight, I don’t think the general idea was, ‘We should keep doing this!'”
