Creator of “The L Word” says Showtime interested in reunion movie if she can hunker down and write one
Executive Producer Ilene Chaiken is waiting to see if Showtime renews her current series The Real L Word for a second season.
Whatever ends up happening with the show, which focuses on the lives of a group of real-life lesbians, Chaiken has an opportunity to revive the original The L Word as a special movie or miniseries.
“There’s certainly a possibility of that,” Chaiken tells Greg In Hollywood. “That’s all on me right now and I take full responsibility for having not yet done enough about it. Showtime and I had a conversation. They have always been really incredibly generous and supportive with the property and they said, ‘Yeah, you can do a movie, let’s do a movie. Write a script, get it going and I just have been busy.”

It had better be a damned good script IC, or else you are going to have to deal with a lot of very angry lesbians

What a dream come true to finally hear about the L Word movie or mini-series. Ms.Chaiken if you read this please see my You-tube video tagged under your name, TLW and The L Word. I have been an avid fan for so, so long. I love the characters and stories but most of all the wonderful, fabulous cast that you had and hopefully will be able to bring back again. I would love an opportunity to audition for a role and will travel far and wide for this chance of a lifetime.

Robinson says:
Please Please bring back The L Word – keep the tv show series running. It was such a heart warming series. Such a fantastic cast who portray these stories. I LOVE this show and support it fully!!!
Rachie says:
What a great news about TLW movie/miniseries. I would love to see miniseries with more episodes. I love the story and all characters. Pls reunion the cast.
Shelly says:
Ic girl u just give me a holla if you need any help with writing the script. I was one of the unlucky ones the first time around when you had the fanfic going i found out about it too late. since you are busy busy maybe a great idea would be to have fans write a sceene and send it in you review or have someone review and put in order and let you look at the finished version to modify to everyones liking. No bad drama this is a movie for the fans and you can make up for the death of Dana with a story full of love and i know who killed Jenny lol. I do hope to hear from you on this idea. I have written several fanfics that several friends LOVE. I am up for the challenge if you are.
Best Wishes,
Shelly

First of all, you go Shelly (I think you could pull this off).
Ilene, I hope you can find it your heart to do a movie/miniseries soon before Showtime loses interest. I came late to the show, BUT I can definitely understand the Appeal. Because now I am HOOKED.
I wish you luck with the real L-word, but honestly, no one can compare to the actors that brought your stories to life every week. They did an outstanding job. And I never thought in a thousand years my Flashdance girl could carry off the best ALA (Alpha Lesbian Archetype), but she DID, with flying colors.
Props to you for following your intuition and making your creations manifest so brilliantly. Oh, and if you need a stagehand or grip for the movie, just let me know. I think I can make myself available.

Oh my goodness that would be a dream come true to see an Lword movie come out! I think that every lesbian would like a chance to show the world the life of lesbians. It would be so amazing to show the world that our kind of love is just as real as any straight couple’s relationship. It would be so great to actually be one of the women on the show helping to bring awareness and a sense of pride to all people especially gay or lesbian people.
Moon says:
It would be so amazing if it happened!! Lots of people want it and I ABSOLUTLY need the movie. I know it’s too late to bring back the show but we could keep TLW living for a while. I hope
kiki lanea says:
plzplz plz make another season of the L Word.I know i want be the only one too say that the L word left to quickly. Leaving our minds and mouths open with one question whats next! And only you have the answer..
Mia says:
Oh please please please bring back the l word or make a movie.there needs to be some closure on jenny’s death, and besides I feel the characters were really evolving. Tasha and alice can’t live without each other, but it wasn’t clear at the end, bette and tina are moving to ny after bette proposed, max’s baby…there are so many loose ends that a movie or final episode can clear up. I think that’s why everybody wants it to come back because we need closure
H says:
This is the best news. I would gladly get on a plane and help to write this or even make the coffee to support the people that do – just so it happens.
I still cant get over them not letting the series continue. L word was the first series that actually hit the world rather than just the lesbian world. I am so sick of watching things where people attempt to drop in a lesbian storyline. I just want to watch something and feel like i understand it. I could relate to the l word and the love scenes and storylines where just perfect.
Thanks for all the shows and i hope to hear of news of the movie in time.

margaret says:
its all talk and no action,take notice of the fans of this show and get on with the job,ILLENE.
J says:
I’m starting to wonder, if a movie will ever happen now. The Real L Word, was renewed for a second season, so it seems, that will end up, taking Ilene’s time. Oh booo! I really miss the L word, which to me, was The Real L Word, in so many ways.
I want a Tibette wedding, Ilene, so get to it.
Jane says:
I dont care what happens in the movie if there is one. It just needs to be made. i’m sure it is NOT easy to write six seasons of lesbian drama. As a whole the L word is kick ass despite the flaws in the last season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nomad says:
Ok..ms Ilene..you HAVE TO MAKE THE MOVIE. The fans are thousands!!!! Don’t be a bitch..we absolutely love The L Word woman!!! Greetings from Greece!
shade says:
Please, Ilene, finally make The L Word movie! Thousands of fans wait for it since the end of the show… We want it, really!
(Especially Tibbete’s wedding, of course.

IRENE says:
It seems that anybody read all these comments. Any news from the creator or the Channel. We have to be clear and loud. WE WANT NEW SEASONS OF THE L WORD. They don’t have excuses, Everybody(cast) is available
Sherri says:
A successful movie would require original actresses and writers. Jennifer Beals and Laurel Holloman are a must! Otherwise, their and all other actresses huge following on UTUBE will be truly disappointed! The talented actresses and realistic dilemmas of lesbian life were mesmerizing. No TV series has yet to come close to filling the void caused by the loss of this show!
Brittney Nieto says:
