It’s only been a month since The L Word: Generation Q blessed us with mayoral candidate Bette Porter, talk show host Alice Pieszecki, and a whole new group of conventionally attractive queers. But already we have a new teaser and with it the introduction of fucks a flight attendant on her private jet Shane McCutcheon.

Yes, this 30 second mix of new and old footage has plenty of gifts, including Bette and Alice characteristically and oh so cutely giving Shane a hard time for this little liaison. We also get our first real look at Leo Sheng’s Micah as he asks a guy on a date and accidentally smashes a chair through a window. And we meet Stephanie Allyne’s Nat as she tells someone she wants them to feel part of her family.

That isn’t all. Alice is making out with someone! And we get another shot of Bette having sex!

“Love… Is… Life” the trailer informs us. Not just a beautiful sentiment, but a promise that The L Word will continue to use L-words whenever possible. This should be reassuring for anyone worried each episode title of the anticipated reboot would start with the letter Q.

My big questions after this teaser:
1. How does Shane have a private jet?
2. How does Micah fit in with the rest of the group?
3. Who is Nat? Is she someone we know and love’s ex or current partner?
And, most, importantly…
4. Who is Alice making out with??

We’ll get all these answers and so much more when the show premieres December 8th. Or next month when another trailer drops.
