Showtime's comedy series "Weeds" earned three Golden Globe nominations Tuesday, but the more important number for the show is two.

As in season two: A few hours after the Globes announcement Tuesday morning (Dec. 13), Showtime announced it was ordering a second delivery of the series, about a suburban mom (Globe nominee Mary-Louise Parker) who deals pot to make ends meet.

"'Weeds' represents the best of what Showtime can offer -- a provocative, complex, richly textured show about contemporary family life that also manages to be incredibly relatable," says Robert Greenblatt, president of Showtime Entertainment. "And its execution [is] at the very top of the food chain. This show makes our network shine. We were addicted the minute we saw the pilot."

Production on the second season, which will run 12 episodes -- up from 10 in season one -- is scheduled to begin in the spring, with Showtime aiming for a summer premiere date. Series creator Jenji Kohan will be back as executive producer.

In addition to Parker's nomination for best actress in a comedy series, "Weeds" also earned Golden Globe nods for best comedy series and best supporting actress Elizabeth Perkins. The nominations for Parker and the series are the first Showtime has received in those categories.
