Rosanny Zayasis ready to get the Lout of town…

The Latina actress has joined the cast of The L Word: Generation Q.

She’s one of the new roster of LGBTQIA characters added to the mix of original series stars and executive producers Jennifer Beals, Katherine Moennigand Leisha Hailey.

Zayas is joined by fellow newcomers to the series

Arienne Mandi (Baja), Leo Sheng (Adam) and Jacqueline Toboni (Easy) in the forthcoming sequel to Showtime’s groundbreaking drama. 

Executive produced by showrunner Marja-Lewis Ryan, original series creator Ilene Chaiken, Kristen Campo and Steph Green (pilot), the series is set to begin production on eight episodes in Los Angeles this summer.

As a follow up to the original series which ran on the premium cabler from 2004-2009, The L Word: Generation Q continues to follow the intermingled lives of Bette Porter (Beals), Alice Pieszecki (Hailey) and Shane McCutcheon (Moennig), along with new characters Dani Nùñez (Mandi), Micah Lee (Sheng), Sarah Finley (Toboni) and Sophie Suarez (Zayas) as they experience love, heartbreak, sex, setbacks and success in L.A. 

Dani is a powerful and calculating PR executive whose ambition is only tested by her conscience. Micah is an earnest, soft-spoken adjunct professor who is forced to confront his fear of vulnerability. Sarah “Finley” is a charming but unfocused assistant who struggles to reconcile her sexual orientation with her religious upbringing. Sophie is a TV producer who guards her heart and is quick to put other people’s needs before her own.

Zayas’ previous credits include appearances on Orange Is the New Black, Elementaryand Instinct.

Mandi has appeared on Matador, Hawaii Five-0, NCIS and NCIS: LA and was the lead in the indie feature Baja. She will next star in the second season of In the Vault.
