Styletraxx has learned that Mary-Kate Olsen is returning acting and starring in the "edgy" Showtime comedy – drama Weeds.
According to Weeds series creator and executive producer Jenji Kohan:
"'Weeds' isn't your 8 o'clock family fare”. "It's an adult show with adult subject matter, and we're confident Mary-Kate is right for the role. She came in and read with Hunter and was absolutely charming and real and seemed like a great fit. Audiences have seen only one side of Mary-Kate, but here we'll see her in a whole new light."
MK will play Tara, a devoted Christian girl living in the newly developed mega-church community Majestic who becomes a love interest for Nancy Botwin's (Mary-Louise Parker) son Silas (Hunter Parrish). Weeds third season will premiere August 13 and look for MK to appear in 10 of the 15 episodes.
