GRACE AND FRANKIE to End with Season 7

GRACE AND FRANKIE has been renewed for an expanded seventh and final season, Netflix announced.

When the series wraps up its 16-episode final year, it will end with 94 episodes—making it Netflix’s longest-running original series. (Season 6 is premiering January 2020.)

“It’s thrilling and somehow fitting, that our show about the challenges, as well as the beauty and dignity of aging, will be the oldest show on Netflix.” said co-creators and showrunners Marta Kauffman and Howard J. Morris in a statement.

Added series stars Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin commented: “We are both delighted and heartbroken that GRACE AND FRANKIE will be back for its seventh, though final, season. We’re so grateful that our show has been able to deal with issues that have really connected to our grand generation. And their kids, and amazingly, their kids as well! We’ll miss these two old gals, Grace and Frankie, as much as many of their fans will, but we’ll still be around. We’ve outlasted so many things—just hope we don’t outlast the planet.”

“Since its premiere in 2015, GRACE AND FRANKIE  has expertly and hilariously demystified the experience of growing older and given a voice to the fastest growing segment of our population,” stated Netflix’s VP of Original Series Cindy Holland. “Jane, Lily, Sam [Waterston], and Martin [Sheen] have become role models for fans that span generations around the world, and we are so proud to have been a part of the show’s journey from day one. A special thanks to Marta, Howard, and the team at Skydance, who have been superb partners every step of the way.”

“David, Marcy and I, along with the entire team at Skydance couldn’t be prouder to have Grace and Frankie launch our television division. We are thankful to our partners at Netflix who stepped up to make a show for people who didn’t see themselves on television,” said Dana Goldberg, Chief Creative Officer, Skydance. “Seven seasons later Grace and Frankie has captured the zeitgeist and audiences of all ages thanks to the brilliant vision of Marta Kauffman and Howard Morris and the incredible talent of our cast led by legends Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin.”

In addition to Fonda, Tomlin, Waterston, and Sheen, the comedy also stars June Diane Raphael, Brooklyn Decker, Baron Vaughn, and Ethan Embry.
