Grace and Frankie Renewed for Season 6 at Netflix

Netflix has renewed their comedy series Grace and Frankie, starring Jane Fonda (Book Club) and Lily Tomlin (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse), for a sixth season. Season 5 will launch globally on the streamer on January 18, with Season 6 premiering in 2020.

Season 5 will also feature Primetime Emmy Award winner RuPaul (RuPaul’s Drag Race) as a guest star portraying the role of Benjamin Le Day, a formidable and quick-witted adversary who faces off with Grace and Frankie.

In Grace and Frankie, Jane Fonda (Grace) and Lily Tomlin (Frankie) star as two women whose lives are turned upside down when their husbands reveal they are gay and leave them for each other. Both sparring partners and partners-in-crime, Grace and Frankie form an unlikely and unbreakable bond and face their uncertain futures head-on, hand-in-hand. Together with their ex-husbands and children, they discover the true definition of “family,” with laughter, tears, and plenty of mood enhancers along the way.

The show is executive produced by Marta Kauffman, who also produced Friends, and Howard J. Morris (Home Improvement). The cast also includes Brooklyn Decker, Ethan Embry, June Diane Raphael, and Baron Vaughn. A number of celebrities have appeared as guest stars, including Christine Lahti, Corbin Bernsen, Brian Benben, Nora Dunn, Rita Moreno and Peter Gallagher.
