‘Grace And Frankie’ Season 2 Renewed By Netflix; Showrunner Thanks Miley Cyrus For Helping Show Return
Miley Cyrus' Netflix troubles are over! After a week of searching for a new series to binge watch, the “Wrecking Ball” singer finally uncovered a show to obsess over: “Grace and Frankie.” (Good pick, Miley.)
“I found my show!” the songstress revealed on Twitter. “#GraceandFrankie <3 on a bender! Jane and Lily are so bad a$$!”
“Grace and Frankie,” starring Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, is a comedy series that premiered on Netflix on May 8. It follows the storyline of two female frenemies who are forced to live together (in a financially shared beach house) after their husbands Robert (Martin Sheen) and Sol (Sam Waterston) announce that they’re leaving their wives due to falling in love with other people -- each other.
“Sol and I are in love,” Sheens’ character unveils the shocking news to the women in the promo video.
“You’re gay?” Frankie (Tomlin) asks, taken back by the announcement that her husband of over 40 years is leaving her and getting married to his law partner.
Grace (Fonda) and Frankie are then forced to help one another “navigate the next chapter of their lives” while simultaneously and unexpectedly creating a friendship.
Due to Cyrus’ fandom, Netflix decided to renew the comedy for another season. Or at least, that’s what “Grace and Frankie” showrunner and co-creator Marta Kauffman said.
"Let me say, it's so awesome to do a show on Netflix," Kauffman recently revealed at a FYC event held in Los Angeles. "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] (Head of content acquisition for Netflix) and Miley to thank."
Netflix confirmed the exciting news that “Grace and Frankie” was getting renewed for a Season 2, revealing that the sophomore installment would premiere in 2016. So grab your Peyote because “your next vision quest is about to begin.”
