Robert Greenblatt, president of entertainment at Showtime, announced at TCA this year that the network is working on a spin-off to their hit lesbian drama The L Word. With their popular show going into it's sixth and final season early in 2009, Greenblatt told reporters that he and Ilene Chaiken (L Word creator) were wanting to do a spin-off with one of the main characters, but wouldn't reveal which one and even said that no one in the cast was aware of the project yet.

Write this down: spin-offs are apparently the new black next season. We've got teen-soap spin-offs, cartoon spin-offs, and spin-offs we don't really know anything about.

Let's keep this business-like: Yes, the Weeds Season 4 premiere involved our dear dealer Nancy (Marie-Louise Parker) and the Botwin family fleeing to Bubbie-in-law's house. No, neither business partner Conrad and Nancy, nor drug king-pin Guillermo and Nancy, are to have any romantic future. Yes, Nancy will (supposedly) struggle more this season with ethical quandaries and find a new love interest. No, she will not be dealing harder drugs.
