Showtime Announces “The L Word: Generation Q” as the Title for “The L Word” Sequel

Showtime has unveiled the official title of its “The L Word” sequel as “The L World: Generation Q,” which will debut this fall. Marja-Lewis Ryan (“The Four-Faced Liar,” “6 Balloons”) serves as showrunner and is executive producing with original series creator Ilene Chaiken and original series stars Jennifer Beals, Katherine Moennig and Leisha Hailey. Kristen Campo also serves as executive producer.

In this sequel, Beals, Moennig and Hailey will resume their original roles alongside a new generation of diverse, self-possessed LGBTQIA characters experiencing love, heartbreak, sex, setbacks and success in Los Angeles.
