The highly-anticipated sequel for the Showtime hit The L Word is finally coming this fall!

Titled The L Word: Generation Q, the show will see the return of original stars Jennifer Beals, Leisha Hailey, and Katherine Moenig, reprising their roles of Bette, Alice, and Shane, respectively.

According to the official logline, the OG stars will be joined by a “new generation of self-possessed LGBTQIA characters experiencing love, heartbreak, sex, setbacks and success in Los Angeles.”

The L Word: Generation Q hails from creator Ilene Chaiken. She will also executive-produce alongside show-runner Marja-Lewis Ryan. 

“Marja has brought her unique and contemporary vision to The L Word and blended it beautifully into the fabric of Ilene’s groundbreaking series,” Showtime president Gary Levine said.

“This revered show was both entertaining and impactful when it originally ran on Showtime, and we are confident that our new version will do that and more in 2019.”
