How the cast reacted to the news of ‘The L Word: Generation Q’ Season 3
The announcement was a long time coming and something fans have waited for for months.
Beals, who plays Bette Porter, acknowledged the renewal and the long wait on Instagram. “Better late than never ☺️ S3,” she captioned a series of photos showing her smiling and holding up three fingers.
“Happy to not keep this a secret any longer. Happy season 3!!” Moennig (Shane McCutcheon) added, posting a photo standing outside of a trailer.
Similar sentiments were shared by Hailey (Alice Pieszecki), Mandi (Dani Núñez), Moafi (Ghorbani), Toboni (Sarah Finley), Zayas (Sophie Suarez), Sheng (Micah Lee), and Clayton (Tess Van De Berg). In posts also shared online, all expressed their excitement to be back for another season.
“Thank you all for watching and bringing us to this point 💚🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈” Sheng’s Instagram post said in part.
The latest season left the characters facing big decisions
When the show left off, each of the characters was at a fork in the road. Whether it was Tess’ move out of state, Finley’s agreement to go to rehab, or Bette’s love triangle, they were all facing life-altering decisions.
While there’s limited information about the next season, Moennig told Collider in 2021 that there were already “preliminary conversations” about what might happen.
“I know what I want [to see happen], and I’ll go to the mat for it,” Moennig added.
