On Monday evening, the hit Showtime series, Weeds, returns for its forth season premiere, “The Birds Are After Her.” Weeds stars Mary-Louise Parker in her Golden Globe-winning portrayal of Nancy Botwin, a suburban mom who turns to dealing marijuana to make ends meet after her husband dies unexpectedly. Last season, viewers saw Nancy venture from hesitant but determined toe-dipper in the unpredictable waters of drug dealing to confident, full-fledged queen-pin entrepreneur. But with each promotion on the crime ladder, the danger and threat to her family has increased exponentially, especially with her son Silas now in the family business. In the third season’s cliffhanger, Agrestic and the neighboring mega-church community Majestic, along with Nancy’s customer base, were hit by wildfires and were rapidly burning to the ground, along with the Botwin home.

Following Weeds, you can catch the new series, Secret Diary of a Call Girl. The new racy show promises to introduce viewers to a contemporary woman. She is smart, strong and confident and, like many modern women, she is struggling to balance her personal and professional life. In her case this pendulum swings between her job as a legal secretary, where she is known as Hannah, and her career as one of London’s high-class call girls, where her clients simply refer to her as Belle, the answer to all their wildest fantasies. Trying to keep these two worlds from colliding results in some interesting situations and some humorous circumstances, including keeping her secret life from her family and her best friend Ben. The series stars British actress Billie Piper (Doctor Who) in the dual role.

The shows premiere on Monday, June 16th at 10:00pm and 10:30pm ET/PT, respectively.
