The highly anticipated revival has been titled The L Word: Generation Q and is set to debut this fall. 

Original stars Jennifer Beals, Leisha Hailey, and Katherine Moenig will be joined by a “new generation of self-possessed LGBTQIA characters experiencing love, heartbreak, sex, setbacks and success in Los Angeles,” according to the official logline. 

The sequel hails from creator Ilene Chaiken. Chaiken also executive-produces 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 previously 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.”

Ryan told The Hollywood Reporter, “I want to find things that are uniquely LA but are super real,” Ryan said. “We don’t all work in the entertainment industry. There’s way more Latina representation because we’re in LA In terms of socioeconomic classes, the original did a pretty good job where like I still have friends that sleep on people’s couches, like Shane [Moennig] did.”

But don’t worry, the duo will be back soon on television. According to Klum, both she and Gunn will partner with Amazon for a new fashion show which will be available on their streaming service Prime Video.

“After 16 incredible seasons, I am saying ‘Auf Wiedersehen’ to Project Runway, a show that I was honored to host and help create,” – Klum said in a statement. “I am incredibly proud of the show, and it will always have a special place in my heart. I am so appreciative of the dedicated fans, and most of all, I am grateful that we could shine a light on creativity and help launch so many talented designers’ careers. I’m most excited that my journey with my dear friend and colleague, Tim Gunn, is far from over. We will be partnering with Amazon for a new show, and we’re excited for everyone to see what we’re designing next!”

While the details about their new project are still mostly unknown, Amazon did offer a few hints about the show’s possible format.

“The series will be a fresh take in the reality space and will appeal to a global audience who are entertained by competition, storytelling, and authenticity,” Amazon said in a press release. “Additionally, Amazon Fashion will create a shoppable experience for viewers. This intersection of content, commerce, and technology is perfectly suited to the cord cutter generation and streaming consumers.”

With Klum and Gunn moving on to new challenges, Bravo is still tinkering what to do with Project Runway. The network has announced that the search for a new host and mentor is underway, but there is no news when the audience should expect the season 17.

Oscar winner Mahershala Ali leads the next installment of HBO’s crime drama and takes front and center in the first teaser. He plays Wayne Hays, an Arkansas state police detective who’s trying to solve a mystery from his past that’s been haunting him for decades. Season 3 is set in Ozark and centers on a terrible crime that unravels over three separate time periods.

Judging by the teaser alone, True Detective is going back to the gritty atmosphere it established in Season 1. It also has a similar structure, since it involves the use of fragmented memories, an unreliable narrator and multiple parallel timelines. Creator Nic Pizzolatto has been credited with writing all the episodes, but he won’t direct each one. Critically acclaimed indie filmmaker Jeremy Saulnier will be in charge of the first two.

In addition to Mahershala Ali, the third season also stars Carmen Ejogo, Ray Fisher, Scoot McNairy and Mamie Gummer. Release date is still under wraps, but it should premiere some time in 2019.

According to a statement, the artist’s decision to cancel the previously announced tour follows a decision to “reevaluate elements of production” on the tour. The statement released by Live Nation on Tuesday also confirmed that the tour will now kick off in Europe in February.

Following the scheduling changes, Minaj took to Twitter to announce that Future will still perform with her during the European leg of the tour, but she “may have to take another co-headliner,” or she may decide to just have “three or four opening acts.”

“This is all happening because I pushed my album back two months. I just finished writing and recording hours before the album came out. So now, I just simply don’t have time to rehearse, and be on the road, and give you guys the level of the show I need to give. I really apologize, but it’ll be worth it,” she said. 

The timing of these news fueled rumors of low ticket sales, in addition to Minaj’s fourth LP, Queen, which failed to go to No. 1.

After a six-year hiatus from TV, the 46-year-old actress has been tapped to star in a new TV series for Netflix titled, Dead to Me. 

The series is described as a dark comedy from executive producers Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, written by Liz Feldman. 

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the 10-episode half-hour series will center on a friendship between a high strung widow (Applegate), and a free spirit with a shocking secret. The poised and put-together widow has a dark sense of humor as well as an anger problem that she simply doesn’t want to deal with.

Applegate’s last TV role was in Up All Night on NBC, which aired from 2011 to 2012. She is most remembered for her portrayal of Kelly on Married With Children. 

Filming on Dead to Me is set to begin this fall in Los Angeles.
