L Word

Spin-off a No-go?

The Hollywood Reporter and Variety are both reporting that the future looks grim for The Farm , the planned L Word spin-off that was to star Leisha Hailey.

Showtime has reportedly passed on a pilot of the show, which was said to be set in a prison. Famke Janssen, Laurie Metcalf, and Academy Award nominee Melissa Leo had all signed on to appear in the series.

There is still a chance that another network could snap up the rights to The Farm . L Word creator Ilene Chaiken crafted the show as a spin-off for Hailey's character Alice, who, in The Farm , has reportedly been sent to prison for the murder of Jenny Schecter.
