NURSE JACKIE/WEEDS (Showtime) - The pay channel is reportedly in the early stages of development on revivals of both series with their respective stars Edie Falco and Mary-Louise Parker attached to star and executive produce. Lionsgate Television remains behind both projects with former Showtime chief Robert Greenblatt among the executive producers. Christian Torpe is penning the "Weeds" revival for Untitled Entertainment which "would feature Nancy (Parker) in Copenhagen." Victoria Morrow was behind a previous effort in 2019 entitled "Weeds 4.20" that didn't move forward. Abe Sylvia and Liz Flahive then are said to be spearheading the "Nurse Jackie" sequel.
