Showtime made this announcement last night. The reboot of the super popular ‘The L Word’, has been canceled on the cable channel. But there still may be a new future for L Word.
Deadline has reported that Showtime is currently developing The L Word: New York (working title), a full reboot of the series, with a whole new continuity (and with series co-creator Ilene Chaiken reportedly still somehow involved).
Sex in the City style? Who knows.
Deadline also noted that Generation Q is just the latest Showtime show not to get renewed since Viacom announced it was folding the network into its Paramount+ branding.
Lots of streamers have been accused of canceling shows without giving them a chance. Something streamers were once known for being patient with and why actors flocked to the services to work.
We’ll be interested to see what comes of this big news.
