Fifteen years after “The L Word” broke fresh ground for its portrayal of lesbian women on television, a much-anticipated sequel is officially in the works. Original stars Jennifer Beals, Katherine Moennig and Leisha Hailey have reportedly signed on to reprise their roles and serve as executive producers. The new version, which has apparently been in development since 2017, is slated to comprise eight episodes and air by the year’s end. “Marja has brought her unique and contemporary vision to ‘The L Word’ and blended it beautifully into the fabric of Ilene’s groundbreaking series,” Gary Levine, Showtime’s co-president of entertainment, told Variety.
