So what does this mean? Are we really finally getting The L Word reboot we’ve longed for? Or are they just all meeting up for a casual catch-up?
Fans we’re quick to respond

Signs are looking promising. Over the years many of the cast has said they’d be up for a reunion.
Chaiken told Entertainment Weekly;
I would love to revisit The L Word. We talk about it from time to time. I talk about it with some of my colleagues who were in the cast who would love to reboot it.”
Jennifer Beals has even had a few ideas about how the series might be different now.
So is a reboot on the cards?
