'The L Word: Generation Q' Season 2: Release date, spoilers and all about Showtime series
The first season of ‘The L Word: Generation Q’ turned out to be a hit for Showtime and the network is trying to capitalize on that success by coming out with another season of the beloved show. The show is set over ten years after the original ‘L Word’ series and continues to follow the intermingled lives of Bette Porter (Jennifer Beals), Alice Pieszecki (Leisha Hailey), and Shane McCutcheon (Katherine Moennig), along with new characters Dani Nùñez (Arienne Mandi), Micah Lee (Leo Sheng), Finley (Jacqueline Toboni), Sophie Suarez (Rosanny Zayas) and Gigi (Sepideh Moafi) as they experience love, heartbreak, sex, setbacks and success in LA.
The original show, titled ‘The L Word’, was a huge success for Showtime and ran for six seasons. The show was considered to be revolutionary at the time because it was the TV series to feature an ensemble cast made up of lesbian and bisexual female characters.

Plot
After the ending of Season 1, we’ll probably see the makers getting back into the heart of various dramatic arcs. We will hopefully learn who Sophie chose to be with after her intense love triangle with Finley and Dani. Alice's love life will also figure into Season 2 as she and Nat pursue their relationship following their failed polyamorous triad with Gigi, who might have some tense situations with the new couple going forward.
Spoilers
During the end moments of Season 1, Sophie finds herself caught between two women. Dani is waiting for her to show up at the airport during the final boarding call to Hawaii while Finey waits for the plane to take her back to her sister’s wedding. Viewers get to see Sophie rushing into the airport and through the terminal. However, we don’t get to see who she’s meeting.
The finale ends on this cliffhanger, this image of Sophie standing there, leaving us to guess who she’s meeting.
