THE 'WORD' IS OUT!

Exclusive First Look at Sizzling New Lesbian Reality Series "THE REAL L WORD" To Air on SHOWTIME on Monday, April 26th

Following New NURSE JACKIE & UNITED STATES OF TARA Episodes

LOS ANGELES, CA - (April 23, 2010) - On Monday, April 26th, following brand new episodes of the hit series NURSE JACKIE and UNITED STATES OF TARA, SHOWTIME will air an exclusive "First Look" at the lovely ladies of THE REAL L WORD. The sneak peek will give viewers the first taste of these six successful, attractive Los Angeles lesbians as their lives unfold on screen in a way only premium television can offer - uncut and uncensored.

Each cast member will tease her own individual story - the good, bad and sometimes ugly - that will be revealed in the nine-episode season, which will premiere on SHOWTIME on Sunday, June 20th at 10pm PT/ET. The series is sure to challenge stereotypes and prove, unequivocally, that lesbians can be every bit as glamorous, fashionable, fabulous and even as cutthroat as those hetero housewives.

THE REAL L WORD is the first gay-themed reality series on premium television and is produced by Magical Elves ("Top Chef," "Kell On Earth") and Ilene Chaiken, the executive producer behind the groundbreaking, long-running SHOWTIME series THE L WORD(R).
