THE L WORD Sequel Ordered

Showtime has ordered a sequel to THE L WORD.

The eight-episode series will star original series leads Jennifer Beals, Katherine Moennig, and Leisha Hailey. Marja-Lewis Ryan will run the series, with original series creator Ilene Chaiken executive producing.

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

The new episodes are scheduled to premiere before the end of 2019.
