Jennifer Jason Leigh Lights Up Weeds

Jennifer Jason Leigh has joined Showtime’s Weeds, playing Mary-Louise Parker’s estranged older sister. Leigh is set to appear in at least two episodes of the series which was just picked up for a 5 and 6 season.

As Nancy finds herself and her family in harm’s way, she sends her brother-in-law, Andy, to take her son, Shane, to live with her estranged older sister, Jill. But when Jill gets fed up with her own suburban family, she finds her way back into Nancy’s life – jealous, frustrated and intent on finally hashing things out with her little sister.

The fifth season of Weeds premieres in June.
