JENJI KOHAN WAS INTERESTED IN WRITING AN вЂњOUTLAW SHOW.вЂќ Here are 10 blunt facts about the Golden Globe Award-winning series. A year later, Kohan created another female-fronted show, Orange Is the New Black. In September 2012 the show finally concluded, with the family remaining intact.

Of course a lot of weed was smoked on the show, which Bichir revealed to GQ was actually lettuce. Her brother-in-law Andy (Justin Kirk) comes along for the ride, as do accountant friend Doug Wilson (Kevin Nealon), critical neighbor Celia Hodes (Elizabeth Perkins), weed grower Conrad Shepard (Romany Malco), and guest stars Albert Brooks, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Alanis Morissette. For eight seasons and 102 episodes, viewers followed the exploits of the Botwins, from Nancy being a suburban dealer to her marrying a drug lord/mayor of Tijuana, Esteban Reyes (Oscar nominee DemiГЎn Bichir). SheвЂ™s raising two sons and needs to find a way to make money, so she starts dealing weed. Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker) lives in an affluent gated community in Southern California, but her husband, Judah (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), suddenly passes away from a heart attack. But the network took a risk when they bought writer Jenji KohanвЂ™s concept for Weeds, a comedy-drama that goes to some dark places. In 2005, Showtime was an up-and-coming network with not many major hits, especially ones that captured the zeitgeist of the time.
