If the spin-off series does get made, hopefully Chaiken will come to her senses and reveal who or what caused the death of Jenny Schecter before it ends.The L Word is a television drama that aired on Showtime from Januto March 8, 2009. Showtime has yet to decide if the spin-off will get a greenlight.
There’s no word if any or all of them would be series regulars if The Farm goes forward as a series. Leo and Metcalf play prison officials, while Janssen plays a fellow prisoner.
What we do know is that actresses Melissa Leo, Laurie Metcalf, and Famke Janssen all filmed roles for the potential series. I don’t know that she actually killed Jenny…” She said, “If the new show goes on the air, it will be connected to the Who-Killed-Jenny? storyline, and I would say that that’s what Alice is in prison for. But, did she really do the deed?Īccording to EW, Chaiken created the murder-mystery storyline before the spin-off was conceived. It would seem that Alice has been charged and convicted of Jenny’s murder. It stars Leisha Hailey as Alice and takes place in a women’s penitentiary.
A pilot has been shot for a spin-off series called The Farm. The open-ended mystery may be part of a bigger plan. It’s a risk not to solve a mystery, admittedly.” The show is about character and relationships, and I used this story to deeply explore those relationships. But I don’t actually feel compelled to answer it. In January, after the episode had already completed, series creator Ilene Chaiken told the LA Times, “There are ways I could still answer if the need were to arise. There were no alternate scenes or endings filmed.įrustrating as this ending is, it doesn’t come as a total surprise. Was it a simple accident, a suicide, or a murder? We may never know. What we do know is that apparently Jenny fell through a missing railing on Bette and Tina’s stairwell. Unfortunately, viewers weren’t given an answer. Showtime promoted that the murder mystery would be resolved by the end of the series finale. As the episodes progress, several people become upset with Jenny and appear to be possible suspects in her murder. After a short introduction, the story shifts to three months prior and moves forward in time from there. The sixth season began with the death of Jenny Schecter (Kirshner), one of the series’ central characters. In 2007, Robert Greenblatt, Showtime’s President of Entertainment, called it “a signature franchise for us and one of our most popular series.” The final season was announced in March 2008 and, unlike previous seasons, only eight installments were ordered, bringing the series total to 70 episodes. Over the years, the series has featured a large ensemble cast that includes Jennifer Beals, Leisha Hailey, Laurel Holloman, Mia Kirshner, Katherine Moennig, Pam Grier, Rachel Shelley, Daniela Sea, Erin Daniels, Marlee Matlin, Rose Rollins, Sarah Shahi, Dallas Roberts, Preston Cook, Lauren Lee Smith, Jon Wolfe Nelson, and Cybill Shepherd.ĭebuting on January 18, 2004, L Word proved very successful for the pay-per-view channel. The L Word revolves around the loves and lives of a group of gay, bisexual, and transgender friends who live in Southern California. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be what they got. It was announced 12 months ago that the series was coming to an end so many viewers were expecting the series finale to be well-crafted and satisfying. Last night, The L Word finished its six year run on Showtime.
