The L Word is returning with The L Word: Generation Q this fall to inject our lives with some much needed BDE (big dyke energy), and while we don’t know much about the plot, we now know which actors from the original series will be returning and what new actors will be joining the drama.
Fan favorite characters Bette Porter (Jennifer Beals), Shane McCutcheon (Katherine Moennig), and Alice Pieszecki (Leisha Hailey) are all returning, alongside new additions: Dani Nùñez (Arienne Mandi), Micah Lee (Leo Sheng), Sarah Finley (Jacqueline Toboni), and Sophie Suarez (Rosanny Zayas).
According to a press release, “The L Word: Generation Q continues to follow the intermingled lives of Bette Porter, Alice Pieszecki, and Shane McCutcheon, along with new characters Dani Nùñez, Micah Lee, Sarah Finley and Sophie Suarez as they experience love, heartbreak, sex, setbacks and success in L.A.”
Beals starred as Ivy-league educated power lesbian Bette in the original series.
The androgynous Shane was a fan-favorite character in the first run of The L Word.
Alice was The L Word’s resident bisexual journalist.
“Dani is a powerful and calculating PR executive whose ambition is only tested by her conscience.”
“Micah is an earnest, soft-spoken adjunct professor who is forced to confront his fear of vulnerability.”
“Sarah ‘Finley’ is a charming but unfocused assistant who struggles to reconcile her sexual orientation with her religious upbringing.”
“Sophie is a TV producer who guards her heart and is quick to put other people’s needs before her own.”
