As per Deadline
Showtime is looking to bring back two of its signature comedy series, Nurse Jackie and Weeds. Both hail from Lionsgate Television and feature the original leads, Edie Falco and Mary-Louise Parker, attached to star and executive produce. Deals are being negotiated and the Weeds sequel would be written and executive produced by Christian Torpe, with Nancy in Copenhagen. This fits into Showtime's new programming strategy focused on franchise building, with new offshoots of other signature series, such as The L Word, Billions and Dexter. Weeds, created by Jenji Kohan, aired from 2005-2012 and won two Emmy Awards, a Golden Globe Award and WGA Award. Nurse Jackie, created by Liz Brixius, Linda Wallem and Evan Dunksy, aired from 2009 to 2015 and won five Primetime Emmy Awards.
