Does anyone know if the show has been renewed? I heard a rumor that this was the last season - hope that's not true... _________________ Sexuality is fluid, weather you're gay, straight or bisexual just go with the flow |

From what I understand, this is it... ends with season 5; hence, the storyline settling issues for all original cast members (leaving out details):
- Alice finally finds true love
- Tina & Bette reunited
- Helena returns
- Shane never changes and never will
- Jenny is saved from herself by Adele
- An appropriate tribute to Dana as one of the original cast
- Kit wins _________________ ** VOTE HILLARY **

I'm hoping for a new season as well, but if they do quit this is a nice season to end with. I think this is the best season ever (with al the things to come in mind).
But NOOOOOOOO give us more!!! |

Its not been officially announced but it looks like they are lining up the characters and guest stars.
Filming for season 6 would start in June so Showtime better announce quickly.
Honestly. I would only be interested in season 6 is Helena is in it. Otherwise I may catch it on reruns. _________________

I think if theres a six Helena will get some seriously good attention, Tibette will hopefully have settled down and just be happy, instead of stupid ridiculous drama hogging scenes, and it will center around Alice, Shane and Helena kinda like it did for Tina, Alice and Shane at the beginning of this season.
I dont want Dylan back though, Helena can do WAY better!!!!  _________________ *warning!!! this poster has an obsession with Tibette that is so strong we believe she belongs in a loony bin. It is advised you avoid contact at all costs!!!*

I'm so hooked up in this series that the thought that there won't be a sixth season and that we are 5 epis away from it being finished makes me feel kind of depressed
I think the L word was groundbreaking in a lot of ways and I'll really miss pressing the play button and seeing women in love with each other without it having to be toned down or making me sit through hours of pointless plot points to get 30 seconds of some lesbian couple who don't even look like they are together.
On the other hand this season for me is delivering anything i could have asked for (ok, i could always have asked for more, curse my small thinking, lol) *cough* that i'm a bit afraid season 6 will mess stuff up.
I mean what are the chances that tina and bette actually stay a whole season together?  _________________ "The book of love is long and boring

You know - I think Showtime & Ilene would be absolutely insane if they didn't commission Season 6!
They have become so involved in all kinds of labelling and merchandise with the jewellry, perfume, board games, card games, Ourchart... the list is endless.
A lot of these are fairly new partnerships which we could see running for a long time - and if there was no intention to run a Season 6, then I believe it has been hasty to become involved in so much 'outside' merchandise.
Also - with the writers strike - this has very probably been a heavy influence on whether there has been decisions made over a future season.
Another thing to add into the pot - when The L Word was originally commissioned - we heard so much about how a lotof the main stay characters had signed their '5 year contract' - if this is so - Showtime/Ilene will probably be having lots of contracts to renegotiate.
Apparently the viewing figures are up by 36% this season - Ilene - you got any idea why that might be???
We all love a good drama, and we know you are the Head Honcho - but I think this season of bringing the mainstay couple slowly back to one another has proved a massive point! Its what the majority of the viewers want to see.
Keep them going for another season please - it would be good to see Bette and Tina maintain a healthy relationship in this programme - funnily enough - there are a lot of lesbian couples in happy fulfilling relationships!
Showtime and Ilene - surely you know a good thing when its right under your nose?

You made a very good point as far as the merchandising goes. From a business standpoint, it would be quite foolish to end the series now. Yes, Ourchart would survive on its own because the concept could stand alone, but they did just get heavily involved with selling the jewelry from the show. How are you supposed to sell jewelry from a show, without the show???  _________________ SHIT!!! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! SHIT!!!

My suggestion is this. If we want to see another season, then we need to flood the Showtime Message boards, and the OurChart with that very message.
From what I gather, IC put B&T back together, NOT so much because she was in agreement to, but because she had ALOT of pressure to do so from the network. Why? Based on the fact there was SO much feedback from the viewers, AND their discussions surrounding canceling their subscription to Showtime !!!!
Let's HOPE we see an announcement soon. If my memory serves me right, it was last year, around the second week of March that they made the formal announcement for a Season5.

Just an FYI, merchandising actually experiences a 2 to 5 year boost when a series ends. _________________ ** VOTE HILLARY **
