Jenji Kohan and Matthew Salsberg, the team behind the popular tv series Weeds, is hard at work on a new project and this one is of special interest to poker fans.

Kohan and Salsberg's new comedy series is titled Whales and it depicts the lives of a group of eccentric young poker players, some of them Harvard or MIT graduates, who move to a luxury apartment in Las Vegas to pursue the WSOP Main Event win.

Kohan and Salsberg (himself a poker enthusiast) will script the series to Lionsgate TV. No further information on the production schedule is available at this point, but all this sounds very promising indeed!
