With the fresh announcement of season 7 and 8’s renewal by Netflix, the show will close out with a total number of 110 episodes, making it the longest-running Netflix original series to date. To sum it up, we are both delighted and heartbroken that Grace and Frankie still have two more seasons to go before Netflix decided to pull the plug.
About the show
The wildly popular comedy series stars Jane Fonda (as Grace) and Lily Tomlin (as Frankie) who found their lives in shackles when their husbands (Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston) declared that they were gay and planning to marry each other.
Now, the women, who have particularly nothing in common and dislike each other, are forced to live together. The series follows Grace and Frankie’s journey as they learn to unite and cope with their difficulties with the passage of time.
