I love this show you guys should renew it I mean it’s amazing and many people love I just hate that you left it at the middle of drama that’s not fair. People want to know what’s going to happen next not try to make it up on their own it’s just not fun that way, we need more episodes make it fun make people happy like before you canceled it….

That was the Finale ? I thought I had Missed a few Episodes, You Fast Forwarded 10 Years, Really ? You ended a Great show on a Sour Note.

It was Obvious the Show was being Cancelled when Season 7 was Aired with the Characters having reoccurring Rolls and their Own Shows on Prime Time But, Really that’s how You Ended Weeds.

Technically, the show WAS cancelled. Showtime gets a renewal option every season and they chose not to renew the series. The series is coming to a close but it was not the decision of the creator or its stars. It’s due to Showtime getting new management. There is an article and interview with Kohan where she explicitly says that it’s because of corporate background work that the show isn’t being renewed.

Technically the show was not actually cancelled. The creator Jenji Kohan said herself that it was coming to an end. I’m glad they are ending it on a high note. The series had quite the dip beyond season 3 and they are fixing it. Finally. SHOwtime has not cut off the series, it is not even having a rushed ending. It is a natural finish
