A few years later, it was announced that Starz was developing a sequel<\/a> with franchise star Mary-Louise Parker<\/strong><\/a> returning to star and executive produce. In 2023, the project moved networks<\/a>.<\/p>\n While at the Seriesly Berlin TV conference, Weeds<\/em> creator Jenji Kohan<\/strong> explained that she didn\u2019t think a spinoff series made sense at the time, going as far as to call it a \u201cmoney grab.\u201d <\/p>\n Keep reading to find out more\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI feel like now that pot is legal [in many places] that I don\u2019t really know if there\u2019s more story to tell,\u201d she explained, via Deadline<\/a>. \u201cI think Weeds <\/em>was done, and I think it\u2019d be a money grab a little bit, and I\u2019m not involved with it.\u201d<\/p>\n Jenji<\/strong> said that she would likely not move forward with a sequel but added that it was the network\u2019s choice. <\/p>\n \u201cThey can do what they want, but this wouldn\u2019t be associated with the team that made [the original series],\u201d she said, \u201cand I think there are many other stories to be told. I think Weeds was of its time and it\u2019s not as relevant anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n Find out more about the new series<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n
