PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Let’s blow this joint! Pot-selling soccer mom turned First Lady of the Mexican drug cartel Nancy Botwin (Emmy® and Golden Globe® winner Mary-Louise Parker) packs up her dysfunctional family and heads for the northern border in the sixth season of Showtime’s hit series, “Weeds.” Picking up where the surprise Season Five cliffhanger left off, the Botwin clan goes on the run and assumes new identities, leaving behind their illegal operations – at least initially. Available on February 22 on DVD and Blu-ray Disc, Weeds: Season Six includes all 13 episodes of the latest season, which features guest stars Alanis Morissette (TV’s “Nip/Tuck”), Linda Hamilton (The Terminator), Richard Dreyfuss (JAWS) and more! The DVD and Blu-ray bonus materials are highlighted by a featurette with Justin Kirk and Kevin Nealon, a gag reel, interviews with the cast, a fan question featurette plus audio commentary on select episodes with creator Jenji Kohan and assorted cast and crew members.

This season, the Queen of Green turns over a new leaf and ventures north before her past can catch up with her… again. But even with new looks and a new name, the now Newman family is bound for a whole new crop of trouble.

Since its debut, “Weeds” has been nominated for 20 Emmy Awards and ten Golden Globes and won the Golden Globe for Best Performance by An Actress in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy – for Parker’s brilliant performance. The show has continued to garner enormous critical acclaim. At the start of its fifth season debutPeople Magazine exclaimed, “Weeds is a rare example of a show that has reinvented itself and actually come out better.” The Chicago Sun-Timesproclaimed it “the funniest thing you’ll see all summer.” The San Francisco Chronicle hailed it “dramatically challenging and risky.”
