Netflix Decides They Want More Grace & Frankie

May 27, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

grace-and-frankie-poster1-slideIt’s only been online a couple of weeks, but Netflix must be feeling they’ve got a hit on their hands with Grace & Frankie, as they’ve already ordered a second season, according to Variety.

It’s not too surprising it’s been a success, as it was co-created by Friends’ Marta Kauffman and stars the impressive quartet of Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston. Who wouldn’t want to take a look at that, even if you didn’t know what it was about?

Grace & Frankie is about old friends turned enemies, who suddenly find common ground again when their husbands leave them and run off with one another.

Kauffman comments on getting a follow-up season, “Let me say, it’s so awesome to do a show on Netflix. “Because two and a half weeks after we launched, Miley Cyrus does a tweet about your show, and they call and say, ‘We’d like to do a season two.’ So yes, there is a season two. We have Ted [Sarandos] and Miley to thank.”

Season 2 will hit Netflix in 2016.

Grace & Frankie Trailer – Take a look at Jane Fonda & Lily Tomlin’s gay-themed series

April 9, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

grace-and-frankie-poster1-slideCasts don’t get much better than Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston, but that’s who Netflix have managed to get together for the upcoming Grace & Frankie. Now they’re showcasing the series with a trailer and a set of posters which you can see above and blow.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In Grace and Frankie, Jane Fonda (“Grace”) and Lily Tomlin (“Frankie”) star as two women whose lives are suddenly turned upside down when their husbands reveal they are gay and leave them for each other. Both sparring partners and partners-in-crime, they form an unlikely bond to face an uncertain future together and discover a new definition of “family,” with laughter, tears and plenty of mood enhancers along the way.

‘From executive producers Marta Kauffman (“Friends”) and Howard J. Morris (“Home Improvement”), the hilarious and heartbreaking comedy takes on aging with gusto – from joint pain to joint rolling and blind dates to night blindness – and offers a poignant look at how life’s turning points show us who we really are. The series also stars Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston, along with Brooklyn Decker, Ethan Embry, Baron Vaughn and June Diane Raphael.’

The series is due to debut on Netflix Friday, May 8th. [Read more…]
