The L-Word Spinning Off Into New Lesbianic Territory
Good news for all you The L-Word lovers!
Showtime announced yesterday that they’re planning on creating a spin-off of the lesbian sudster. It’s going to be called The V-Word. Psych. We don’t know what it’s call. Here is what we do know:
Showtime entertainment president Robert Greenblatt just announced a spin-off plan for The L-Word at press tour.“We’re in the process of working on an The L-Word spin-off,†he says. “I’m not going to give you too many details. We’re shooting it after The L-Word.”
The spin-off will star one of the actors from The L-Word, which is entering its sixth and final season and will return in January. Greenblatt [say] didn’t which The L-Word actor will star (“I don’t want to be too coy, but I can’t say”) and added that the chosen actor is not yet aware they will star in the spin-off.
The show will be created by The L-Word showrunner Ilene Chaiken, who will take a storyline from the original show’s final season and extend it into Internet-only content. If Showtime moves forward with the as-yet-untitled spin-off, the online storyline will segue into the new series.
Greenblatt also announced that the cable station’s picked up two more seasons of Weeds, which pleases us to no end.
Any Weeds watchers out there? What’s up with this gangster-in-the-ground story?
I Love Weeds, and i have No idea what the plan is with the drug-lord-living-underground story, but i love it. also, doug’s been talking about his family in the last couple episodes… here’s hoping they bring back his gay son josh for at least a few episodes. i know the original actor is getting pretty busy nowadays, but i wouldn’t mind a re-cast. just to have him back would be nice.
I absolutely LOVE The L Word. It is an inspiration for me to find someone as special as these wonderful women.
I would like to make a comment about your character, Jenny Schechter. I fully realize this is strictly coincidental, like Jenny, I am Jewish, my late mother’s youngest sister married a guy named Phil Schechter in 1966, and the marriage ended in 1969. They had my cousin during that three year marriage. Phil moved to New York and was never seen again. I know this is completely divorced from reality, and completely coincidental, but if Phil Schechter remarried and had a daughter named Jenny, this would mean Jenny could have been my cousin’s half sister.
I want to thank you for The L Word as well as the future “The V Word”. I also want to thank you for Mia Kirschner’s beautiful vulnerability in portraying Jenny Schechter. I want to console Ms. Kirschner’s character Jenny and tell her I feel all of her pain and fear. Every minute of it, including the way she was deliberately deceived and blind sided by Adele.
I was blind sided by an Adele when I was 22 as well. Only her name was Meta, and it was involving a choir group I was a part of.
Don’t watch the “L Word” but a huge “Weeds” fan.
I don’t think it’s gangsters living underground, I think it’s a tunnel that leads to Mexico. If you watched closely at the end of the last episode, the camera goes down in the tunnel, follows if for a while and then comes up in the “chop shop” in Mexico where Nancy took her car for trafficking the drugs. Right before it focuses on who I’m assuming is the new head gangster and guy who will be fucking Nancy, you can see two of the guys that “fixed” her car when she came down to pick up the drugs earlier in the season.
Since I stopped smoking marijuana ten years ago, “Weeds” doesn’t do anything for me as much as “The L Word”. I feel a stronger connection with these fantastic ladies. Marijuana has turned into a bigger business than it ever should have.
