It was announced today that Showtime is working on a reboot of The L Word, and returning stars like Jennifer Beals, Kate Moennig, and Leisha Hailey are celebrating alongside fans on social media.
It's on.

Lesbian Twitter went absolutely nuts over the news, including some past guest stars (Tegan and Sara) and other celesbians who are apparently huge fans.
My prayers were finally answered. #TheLWord

The L Word is trending on Twitter the same day the president's son admits on Twitter that he committed treason. Will wonders never cease?
