Sky Atlantic has set a UK a February premiere date for ‘The L Word: Generation Q‘, the sequel to groundbreaking drama series ‘The L Word’ which originally ran from 2004-2009.
The series continues to follow the intermingled lives of Bette Porter (Jennifer Beals), Alice Pieszecki (Leisha Hailey) and Shane McCutcheon (Katherine Moennig), along with new characters Dani Nunez (Arienne Mandi), Micah Lee (Leo Sheng), Finley (Jacqueline Toboni), Sophie Suarez (Rosanny Zayas) and Gigi (Sepideh Moafi) as they experience love, heartbreak, sex, setbacks and success in L.A.
As we catch up with all the characters, Bette is weaving her way through a contentious mayoral run while co-parenting her and Tina’s teenage daughter. Shane is returning to L.A. and embarking on her new career as owner of a lesbian bar while trying to save her marriage, and Alice steps into the spotlight as host of her own queer-focused talk show. Meanwhile, PR pro Dani is running communications for Bette’s campaign while balancing her relationship with fiancée Sophie, a producer for Alice’s show. Production assistant Finley and professor Micah are finding their footing in the L.A. dating scene, while Gigi navigates family dynamics with her ex, Nat (guest star Stephanie Allynne), who is Alice’s current girlfriend.
Other Season 1 guest stars include Megan Rapinoe, Brian Michael Smith, Olivia Thirlby, Fortune Feimster and Latarsha Rose. The series has already been renewed for a 2nd Season.
