Well, kids. Here we are! Just hours after the surprise return of an original cast member heard ‘round the world, Showtime has renewed The L Word: Generation Q for a second season. Also renewed for Season Two? The already stellar Work in Progress! Truly giving the gays everything that they want.
Both series will deliver 10-episode sophomore seasons.
Here’s what Showtime’s co-president of entertainment, Gary Levine, had to say about Gen Q’s renewal, “The L Word: Generation Q took our original series that was revered and reinvigorated it for a new generation and a new era… The result has been a show that appeals to all generations for its relevance, its fearlessness, its emotion and its fun. I can’t wait to see what Marja, along with Ilene and this talented ensemble, will deliver for Season 2.”
Jana Winograde Showtime’s other co-president of entertainment was equally effusive of Work in Progress: “We could not be more gratified that both critics and viewers are responding to the spark of creativity and original point of view that blew us away when we first saw the pilot that screened at Sundance last year… We fell in love with Abby at first sight, and are eager to share in the laughter — and tears — that she, Tim and Lilly will undoubtedly evoke in Season 2.”
Our editor-in-chief Riese recently tweeted about how disappointing it is that The L Word: Generation Q‘s first season is wrapping up just as the show really found its footing. Sophie, Dani, Finley, Tess, Gigi and Micah have already become a part of our queer family — we roll our eyes at their mistakes and root for their dreams. Who didn’t cheer as hard as Uncle Shane over Angie’s crush getting fulfilled? At least now we can rest knowing that when we say goodbye, it won’t be forever.
Here’s to much more iconic dyke drama as only The L Word can provide for many years to come!
LET’S GO LESBIANS!!
I still need to check out Work In Progress but l I’m so freaking excited for Gen Q!!
Yaaay I was really hoping we’d have a Gen Q season 2! I want the show to have time to develop the existing characters more, and also add in some of the important perspectives that season 1 is missing.
GOOD GOOD GOOD
Temp 2 cuando??? Ya estamos a octubre y no se nada, no encuentro informacion.. Ayudaaaaa
YES! So exciting! Also love the Billy on the Street reference (;
let’s go lesbians!! so happy work in progress was renewed, I was sure something so groundbreaking and gay couldn’t last long, very pleasantly surprised!

let’s go lesbians let’s go (clap clap)
Season 2 should open with Mayor Bette’s inauguration
Woooohoooooo!!! Now let’s hope Gen Q casts some fat people in central roles for season 2!!!!
Also trans women characters!!!! How are there not any trans women characters in this show?!?!
I know Sophie Giannamore (Jordi) and Jamie Clayton (Tess) are trans IRL, but I believe Tess is cis and I’m not sure if Jordi is supposed to be cis 🤔
@gimmepizzas In the interview with Marja (showrunner) on AS, she says that both of them are cis characters! Boooo
Been waiting for butches since 2004
Literally.
Also butches, yes!!!
Were there any trans lesbians? Don’t want to bother with it if no.
waooo!!
happy about The L Word being renewed, for the sake of The CultureTM
happy about Work in Progress being renewed, for the sake of my own actual personal viewing pleasure
