“The L Word” Reboot Sets New Showrunner, Original Stars as Executive Producers
Showtime has named Marja-Lewis Ryan the showrunner of its The L Word reboot, which is now in development. Original creator Ilene Chaiken and several original cast members are also returning and will serve as EPs.
Featuring 92 scripts, 101 writers, more than 70 production companies & studios, 46 different agencies & management companies, and more than 200 individual reps, this year’s list is one of the most diverse and exciting we’ve ever released.
We’re thrilled to announce that on Monday, October 3 we will be releasing the 2016 Young & Hungry List, comprised of the 100 best up-and-coming writers in the business, as voted on by industry professionals. Now just days away from the release of this year’s Young & Hungry List, we wanted to recognize one more group of writers: those who made the list just one year ago.
Jacobson and Franco are attached to star in the Netflix dramedy 6 Balloons written and directed by Marja-Lewis Ryan. Channing Tatum is producing through his Free Association banner.
