Showtime revealed more about the additions to the cast of The L Word: Generation Q in a press release.

In addition to hosting and executive producing the Emmy-award winning series The Rosie O’Donnell Show, O’Donnell is also known for her co-hosting stint on The View and the SiriusXM show Rosie Radio. Her television credits include roles in the SHOWTIME series SMILF, Curb Your Enthusiasm, I Know This Much Is True, The Fosters and Mom.

His film credits includes roles in Game Over, Man!, Little Evil, Kick-Ass 2, Remember the Titans and Clueless. In addition to appearing on screen, Faison has an expansive voice-over career, appearing in animated shows such as Robot Chicken and Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
Dunne will play Isaac, one of the biggest international art mega-dealers who Bette comes to know. Known for his work in front of and behind the camera, Dunne made his directorial debut with the film Addicted to Love and recently directed and produced Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold. His on-screen television credits include the SHOWTIME series HOUSE OF LIES, Girls, I Love Dick and This Is Us, in which he currently stars.

What do you think? Are you a fan of The L Word: Generation Q? Will you watch season two in 2021 on Showtime?
Absolutely loved the L Word; watch reruns constantly. But am also a huge fan of L Word Gen Q. I’m all IN. 100%. However, I am a fan of ANYTHING that the Breathtaking Jennifer Beals is in. Love Her. Truly believe she’s one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen. And gets better with age.
Can’t wait for the return!!!
Looking forward to series two of L Word second generation
The L Word is THE best show on TV, period. I have been a fan since the original and am SO HAPPY that it is back and for a second season. I’d love to see it continue forever, like daytime soaps. It’s that good. It would be nice to have some closure for the Jenny storyline, though. Who actually killed her and why?
She killed herself.
If you listen to Alice closely in the last episode of the last season of the original l word, you’ll hear her whisper in tashas ear that she killed her, after Tasha walks into Bette and Tina’s house.
Looking forward to the next season. Thank you for bringing it back.
am definitely IN!
Excellent Show and looking forward to Season 2.
LOVED, loved, loved The L Word! I’m not a fan of this show – it seems that politics and political correctness have taken a front seat to the story lines. I can’t get into the plot(s) because it feels like I’m watching a lecture or something…
10 words: We love the show..keep the seasons and episodes coming
Huge fan! Binge watched during free premiere weekend on Showtime. Subscribing to Showtime just for The L Word!
