Weeds producers to make new show about poker

Jenji Kohan, the creator and executive producer of Weeds, and Matthew Salsberg, the other executive producer of Weeds, have a new comedy project and this time about something even more addictive than weed: it’s about poker and Vegas baby! The show will be called Whales and it will be a half-hour show that revolves around a group of young, super-smart and talented people, some of whom are Harvard and MIT graduates, who decide to pursue glory and move to Vegas where they’ll live in a Vegas-style lavish apartment and play for the World Series of Poker’s $10 million prize.
