The original series was created by chief showrunner Ilene Chaiken, as a narrative exploration of a core group of lesbians and their friends, families, and lovers living in West Hollywood.
After proving to be an hit with viewers some eight years after its season 6 series finale ended in 2009, Showtime is now prepping for more L Word.
However, with an official sequel to The L Word on the way, only time will tell how much more diverse the representation of lesbians on TV will become in the near future.
A sequel series to the critically-acclaimed The L Word is currently being developed by Showtime.
