Negociations took some time but this is now official : Weeds will be back next summer with a 13-episode eight season.
If Showtime would be kind enough to add 3 episodes to The Big C's third season (the show has been renewed for only 10 episodes instead of the usual 13) so that its timeslot buddy Weeds doesn't feel alone for 3 weeks, that would be nice.
As of today, Weeds has 89 episodes, over 7 seasons. At the same time next yeat, the Showtime dramedy, launched on August 7, 2005, will have 102 episodes. It already is Showtime's longest running dramedy series.
By the way, since I was checking that out on Wikipedia, here are the 10 Showtime series that have the most episodes :
1/ The Outer Limits (1995-2000) : 132 episodes (picked up by SyFy for one more season).
2/ Stargate SG-1 (1997-2002) : 110 episodes (picked up by SyFy for five more seasons).
3/ Brothers (1984-1989) : 115 episodes.
4/ Weeds (2005 - ?) : 102 episodes (including season 8).
5/ Queer as Folk (2000-2005) : 83 episodes.
6/ Soul Food (2000-2004) : 74 episodes.
7/ Dexter (2006 - ?) : 72 episodes (and the show is likely to get 24 more episodes over two more seasons).
8/ The L Word (2004-2009) : 70 episodes.
9/ Poltergeist - The Legacy (1996-1998) : 66 episodes (picked up by SyFy for one more season).
10/ Californication (2007 - ?) : 60 episodes (including season 5, premiering in 2 months).
