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.
