‘Grace and Frankie’ Gets Third Season Renewal Before Season 2 Premieres
It appears as though streaming network TV shows have taken over as the top product for audiences all over the country. Netflix's "Grace and Frankie" has now been given the green light for Season 3, although unofficially, and production has already started.
According to Deadline, the Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin headlined series is so popular with Netflix subscribers that Season 3 of the show has been unofficially renewed before the second season has even premiered on the streaming platform.
Although it has been classified as "unofficial" at this time, the producers have already started production on Season 3. That could basically indicate that network executives have already watched Season 2 and given it their seal of approval and, by way of cutting costs, have alerted the producers to their intentions when the time comes.
Either way, fans of the series have to remember back to when the first season premiered. It did not quite have all the numbers that Netflix was looking for, and was even in danger of being discontinued. But thanks to Netflix execs and with a little help from Miley Cyrus on social media, the show got its green light for Season 2 and the rest is about to go down in history.
For those who have not watched the show, Fonda and Tomlin, who starred together in the 1980s film "9 to 5," play married wives whose husbands (Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston) are lawyers together in the same practice. In the first episode, they find out their husbands are gay and leaving them, for each other.
Grace and Frankie shack up together in the summerhouse that their respective families shared. The series takes many comical angles for women of their age, who face the challenges of building a new life in their golden years with their grownup children at their side.
Brooklyn Decker also co-stars in the series along with Ethan Embry, Baron Vaughn and June Diane Raphael, all playing the grown children.
