Tim Robbins to helm Showtime's newest druggie series

March

According to Daily Variety (via FilmStew), the Pound Ridge resident is planning a new drama series about a family who works in the pharmaceutical biz. The show has fitting title “Possible Side Effects” and it’s expected that Robbins will write and possibly direct (no word on whether he’d star, too).

If you’ve seen “Weeds”—the hilarious, groundbreaking Showtime series about a widowed California mom who deals pot—then you know the pay-channel can pull off the suburban anxt and drug culture like none other. But will we get to see Susan Sarandon smoke a joint again, like she did in “Stepmom,” or are we talking strictly crystal meth and Vicodin? Guess we’ll have to wait and see.
