Jennifer Beals, Katherine Moennig, and Leisha Hailey, who got their big break thanks to the original series, are all coming back. They’ll also serve as executive producers, along with the L Word co-creator Ilene Chaiken.

Marja-Lewis Ryan, best known for her work on 6 Balloons, will serve as showrunner and executive producer. Gary Levine, president of entertainment at Showtime Networks, is 100% confident they made the right choice when they hired her.

“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 promising eight-episode follow-up series will premiere towards the end of 2019 on Showtime.
