“Olivia and The L Word have a beautiful history together, so it’s only fitting as an entire new generation is introduced to these characters and stories that we would team up once again to bring fans – past and present – together with cast members and creators of this series. The L Word broke new ground for lesbian representation in its first run, and The L Word: Generation Q is poised to go even further by fully representing LGBTQ+ women, no matter who they love or how they identify,” said Olivia President & CEO Judy Dlugacz.
Collaboration between Olivia Travel and The L Word began as the first episode aired in 2004, when cast members and series creator and executive producer Ilene Chaiken joined travelers on an Olivia cruise to the Caribbean to celebrate and watch the series premiere. In addition, episode 10 of season two – “Land Ahoy” – was filmed aboard an Olivia Cruise and aired in April 2005.
“We still hear from women all over the world who found Olivia Travel through The L Word, and we’re back to do it all again, bigger and better, as we bring 1300 LGBTQ+ women together to experience one of the best vacations on the planet, while celebrating the return of this show that has made such a profound impact on our culture,” said Dlugacz.
The L Word: Generation Q is the sequel to the groundbreaking drama series The L Word, which originally ran on SHOWTIME from 2004-2009. Generation Q 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 L.A. The series is executive produced by showrunner Marja-Lewis Ryan (The Four-Faced Liar, 6 Balloons), with series creator Ilene Chaiken, Kristen Campo, Allyce Ozarski, Steph Green (pilot), along with series stars Beals, Moennig and Hailey.
