In one of the earliest conversations about The L Word reboot — before there was even really a Generation Q — Ilene Chaiken casually said maybe if The L Word ever came back, they’d just pretend season six never happened, like it was some kind of fever dream or something. Hey well guess what, that appears to maybe the case because LOOK THE FUCK RIGHT AT THIS:
THIS IS THE BEST NEWS EVER!
Stay tuned, I’m going to harass everyone I’ve ever met until someone gives me some answers about this.

Yes, please shake the lesbian phone tree and see what falls out!
Yaaaaaaaassssss!!!! Oh boi, I hope she’s in this new series.
lol heather ilysm
Jenny Schecter IS the type of person who would have faked her own death just to see who showed up to her funeral…
Mwahahaha, oh so very true. =3
Like Blanche did on The Golden Girls!
I am pretty sure the original show was only popular because it was 100% lesbian show and not because any one found any of the characters relatable or endearing. Also, I hope this time around there is a murder mystery around shane…because every time shane walks into a room, some one leaves crying. I never understood why shane was such a popular character.
Okay you go find out and I will find a screwdriver and unhinge/losen up the handrail upstairs that oversees the pool.
Oh god zombie jenny
Vampire Jenny?
Maybe we need to start enumerating all the possible ways she could have returned to life:
1. Zombie Jenny
2. Vampire Jenny
3. Vampire Slayer Jenny
4. Evil (Good?!) Twin Shenanigans
5. It’s an alien version made to look like Jenny (see: Defiance)
6. Jenny is one of 274 clones
7. Transferred to a robot body, called Jenny-5, and it’s ALIVE
8. Jenny Schecter is the AI consciousness controlling all human existence
…
∞ IT WAS ALL A DREAM
Sally they need to hire you to write for this show
“Transferred to a robot body, called Jenny-5”
STANDING FUCKING OVATION
ALL OF THE COMMENT AWARDS
I think they could make a show for each of these options. Brilliant !
Jenny Lives (sort of) !
I wanna see her in the shower with the Irish Spring, a la Dallas!
I love this comment, Sally, Knut if it’s slayer Jenny that’d imply there are two Jennys now.
Also, they’re probably sleeping together.
*but
Gotta love bilingual autocorrect that corrects “but” to a dead German polar bear..
Dude my mom was totally obsessed with Knut the polar bear back in the day
As a Jenny Schecter fan(more Mia Kirschner, but yes we exist), I am excited to see Jenny back from the dead. Let’s just hope she’s not transphobic.
If they’re bringing someone back from the dead, why can’t it be Dana?
THIS 100000000%
This.
The #EMMYFORMIA quest is back on!! I have very mixed feelings about Jenny as a character, but I’m glad Mia Kirshner gets to be a part of the reboot.
yesssss I would be so happy to see mia kirshner on my teevee again
ALIVEEEEEEEE
TBH, I think Jenny somehow faking her own death is the most in-character turn of events.
Why would you tell me this on my birthday?
This just ruined the reboot for me
Tbh same. Jenny is a giant crappy dumpster fire that I hoped would stay off my screen. She’s one of the reasons I can’t watch certain seasons of the OG show.
I was on the fence about the reboot, but if Jenny’s back, it’s a hard no. Hated the character, and while Mia Kirschner is probably lovely in real life, as an actress, she’s been bugging me since Wolf Lake.
I don’t know if that’s good or bad. I’m guessing this show will be a mess and I’ll watch it anyway.
So now I have Sia’s “Alive” stuck in my head…

Yessssss!
Mia was SO GOOD in the new Star Trek series. Yes, I’m a dork.
Mia did an instagram live sometime last year. I think she was on set of dreamland…wish I would have recorded it. But someone in the chat asked if she was going to be in the reboot. and she said a definite NO. *shrugs* guess we’ll have to wait till December unless something leaks before hand…
I WAS looking forward to the reboot…largely because it would be Jenny-free. Now…ugh…please let this be fake news.
