This incarnation stars Jennifer Beals, Jordan Hull, Jacqueline Toboni, Rosanny Zayas, Arienne Mandi, Leo Sheng, Sepideh Moafi, Kate Moennig, Jamie Clayton, and Leisha Hailey.

Season Three Ratings
Based on the limited numbers we have, the third season of The L Word: Generation Q averaged a 0.01 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 63,000 viewers. Compared to season two, that’s even in the demo and down by 16% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (includes DVR playback through 3:00 AM). Note: Because this show’s ratings are quite low, there are gaps in the ratings data we can report.
While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled. Find out how The L Word: Generation Q stacks up against other Showtime TV shows.
The L Word: Generation Q has been cancelled, so there will not be a fourth season. Could the show return someday? Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will Showtime cancel or renew The L Word: Generation Q for season four? The traditional ratings for this series have been quite low in the past, and this season isn’t any different. However, the show appears to have a strong following and I’m guessing that it performs well in streaming. I think there’s a good chance that L Word will be renewed.

Please, please renew for season 4! This show has so many great characters and shows real life type challenges , family and friendship bonds, it’s incredible. I had to wait to watch Season 3 because I’ve been full time school and work and finally got to watch Season 3. So many places to go and characters that haven’t fulfilled their next steps yet. Although, honestly, many people would watch them until they’re all gray haired sitting in rocking chairs. Lol. Even if you have to leave Showtime, go to Netflix or wherever, just please keep it going. Especially the initial… Read more »
