'L Word' to become reality show?

The L Word will reportedly be turned into a reality show.

Cable network Showtime has rebooted its scripted programme for a new nine-episode run of The Real L Word: Los Angeles, which will follow six lesbians going about their day-to-day lives, according to Variety.

"Even though we concluded our sixth season of The L Word on Showtime this past March, I believe we are not nearly finished telling our L Word stories," series creator Ilene Chaiken said.

"Showtime has yet again come forward to continue with us this mission to entertain and enlighten and bring more L to the world."

The project is said to be akin to Bravo's Real Housewives franchise. The show is expected to debut next year, depending on the casting process.

Network executives recently passed on spinoff series The Farm.
