Grace & Frankie Archives - Big Gay Picture Show

Last year Netflix made a concerted effort to make shows that would appeal to a slightly older demographic than the young people the service is known to attract in droves. One of the classiest bits of original programming was Grace & Frankie, starring Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda as two married women approaching old age, who get the shock of their lives when their husbands (Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston) don’t just announce they’re leaving them, but that they’re gay and in a relationship.

Now Season 2 is on its way and the trailer has been released.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘With their ex-hubbies now married to each other and their clans more integrated than ever, Grace and Frankie continue to struggle to make sense of the brave new world that is their lives. Frankie copes by getting more involved in Brianna’s business.’ Take a look at the trailer below.

Season 2 will start streaming on Netflix on May 6th. [Read more…]

Back in March it was announced that Jane Fonda & Lily Tomlin had signed up to reteam for a new comedy for Netflix, and now another entertainment industry luminary is joining them, and he’ll be playing gay, according to THR.

Martin Sheen has signed up for the 13-episode series, which is called Grace and Frankie.

The show focuses on the titular nemeses, Grace (Fonda) and Frankie (Tomlin), who are facing the last chapter of their lives, though not in the way they expected. Their husbands announce they are in love with each other and plan to get married. Unsurrisingly the women find their lives both turned upside down and – to their dismay – permanently intertwined. Eventually, to their surprise, they find they have each other.

Now we know Sheen will be one of the hubbys, Robert, who is married to Fonda’s character, but doesn’t want to be anymore.
