Kehlani’s got some exciting news to share with fans — they’re headed to The L Word!
The singer dropped a couple of promo pics edited into a video on her Instagram Wednesday. They had The L Word: Generation Q branding in the corner, and Kehlani confirmed what it all meant in her caption:
“from bingeing @sho_thelword to guest starring on #TheLWord. See you for Season 3!”
EXPAND
Nothing else is known about Kehlani stepping into the continuation series, including whether they’ll be around for more than one episode, or whether they’ll be playing a wholly new character or a version of themself.
Fans watched a mini-saga of Kehlani initially starting to watch The L Word, falling in love with it, and even publicly declaring her interest in being on or somehow involved with the show over the course of the pandemic, so seeing it get to this point is somewhat gratifying.

The L Word: Generation Q was renewed for a third season back in February, and the cast and crew have been posting fun pics as production has ramped up over the last two months.
An official premiere date hasn’t been announced, but the series is expected to return before the year is up.
