In MK's first major solo role without her twin sister returning to series television for the first time since 2002 with a co-starring role on Showtime's doper comedy "Weeds", the edgy series about pot-dealing suburban mom Nancy Botwin, starring Mary-Louise Parker.
Olsen, 20, will play Tara, a devout Christian who becomes a love interest for Nancy’s son Silas (played by Hunter Parrish). The series is a departure from the wholesome, kiddie fare that she and twin sister, Ashley, have opted for in the past.

Since the time the twins starred on televesion (they were 9months old) in the family show Full House this would be the first time that Mk would be all by herself. They last starred in 2004 in The NewYork Minute.
"'Weeds' isn't your 8 o'clock family fare," Kohan told the Hollywood Reporter. "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."
