LOS ANGELES - January 31, 2019 - Celebrating the 15th anniversary of the original's premiere, SHOWTIME has announced an eight-episode order for a sequel to its groundbreaking hit series THE L WORD, scheduled to premiere by the end of 2019.

The announcement was made today by Gary Levine, President of Entertainment, Showtime Networks Inc., at the Television Critics Association's Winter Press Tour.

"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.
