New 'Generation Q' Trailer Proves 'The L Word' Is Still Steamy

The countdown for the long-awaited return of The L Word continues! Which is to say…we have a new trailer!

The L Word: Generation Q picks up ten years after the original series ended (go figure), and sees Bette Porter (Jennifer Beals), Shane McCutcheon (Katherine Moennig), and Alice Pieszecki (Leisha Hailey) continuing to live their sexy dramatic queer lives in the wild ride that is Los Angeles. This time around, the show has moved from WeHo (gay dude central) to the more lesbian-settled Silverlake area, and, as the title suggest, we’ll also be following the lives of a whole new generation of queers.

While August’s teaser trailer showed us Bette taking the next step in her career and running for mayor of Los Angeles, the new trailer for Generation Q delves a little more into the new characters, and all the ways that they live (and love).

But that doesn’t mean our old faves are pushed to the side. Judging by trailers alone, it looks like the return of The L Word may have found a good balance between generations of fictional LA lesbians.

And still, neither trailer gives too much away. We haven’t gotten any glimpses of returning guests from the original series (beyond Beals, Moennig, and Hailey, obv) and there isn’t much diving into the drama of their lives just yet — one of the two things the original borderline soap was known for.

But the other thing The L Word was known for was sex. Lots and lots of lesbian sex. And the trailer is certainly promising a continuation of that steamy staple.

The L Word: Generation Q is coming back for its eight episode run on December 8. Get ready.
