Weeds: Season Seven May Be the Last for the Showtime Series

In a recent interview with TV Guide, Weeds creator Jenji Kohan indicated that the next season of Weeds may be the show’s end. A rep for the cable channel says that an official decision won’t be made until next summer.

Here’s an excerpt from the discussion with Kohan…

TVGuide.com: Showtime renewed the show for a seventh season. Has the network given any indication that it will be the final season?
Kohan: In my mind, it is. Everyone’s contract is up next year, [including] the actors and mine. Seven years is a good run, and I’d rather leave while on top. I’d never say never, but I have a feeling this might be it.

TVGuide.com: How does it feel heading into what might be the end?
Kohan: It’s very strange and exciting and scary and sad in a lot of ways. We have such an extraordinary team. I would hope to take everyone over to [my] next project, including some of the actors, if possible. I think it’s such a strong group of people across the board. That will be very hard to let go of. However, I think growth is an obligation of a writer and it’s time to stretch my wings.

TVGuide.com: Do you have a clear picture in your mind of how you want the series to end?
Kohan: I do, which I would never reveal. There are two versions of the end of the series that I’ve had in mind, and it would be figuring out which way to go.

TVGuide.com: I’m guessing one version has Nancy dying?
Kohan: Potentially. [Laughs] In a blaze of glory. She certainly does tempt fate, and fate has a way of catching up to you.

What do you think? Is it time for Weeds to end or do you think there’s plenty of story left to tell? How would you like to see the show end?
