The hemptress is back! Pot-selling soccer mom Nancy Botwin (Emmy® and Golden Globe® winner Mary-Louise Parker) returns for her most addictive adventures yet in the complete fifth season of Showtime’s hit series, “Weeds.” Nancy’s taken her business south and now faces a whole new crop of crazy problems. Follow the Queen of Green as she fights to keep her family in line and her enemies out of her stash in this intoxicatingly entertaining DVD and Blu-ray collection. Weeds: Season Five includes all 13 episodes of the fifth season, which originally aired in the summer of 2009, and is loaded with special features including commentaries with cast and crew, a gag reel, newly produced featurettes, webisodes and more. In addition, Weeds: Season Five is taking “green” to a higher level as the DVD set will be packaged using 100% recycled paper and DVD trays.
When Nancy took her homegrown business south of the border, she found the grass wasn’t greener on the other side. Now she’s pregnant with the child of a powerful politician turned dangerous drug lord – or is she? Doug and Silas are trying to branch out on their own, Andy is looking to score and Celia attempts to turn the tables on her kidnappers. With enemies out to smoke the Queen of Green, Nancy’s sure to find a whole new crop of trouble. Co-starring Elizabeth Perkins (Fierce People) and Kevin Nealon (TV’s “Saturday Night Live,”), Weeds: Season Five also features appearances by Golden Globe® nominee Jennifer Jason Leigh (Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama, Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle, 1995) and singer Alanis Morissette (TV’s “Nip/Tuck”). Hilarious and subversive, “Weeds” is the hit that put the herb in suburb!
