‘Grace And Frankie’ Season 6 Release Date, Cast And Spoilers: Grace And Jacob Together Again?

“Grace And Frankie” season 6 is coming after a year of absence on Netflix. The good news is that even before this sixth installment airs, the comedy series has already been renewed for season 7 but the downside is - it will be the last.

Entertainment Weekly reported in September that giant streaming service provider made an announcement that “Grace and Frankie” will continue until the seventh season which will also be the show’s final run. By the time the show ends, it will have a total of 94 episodes making it Netflix’s longest-running original series.

“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.” Marta Kauffman and Howard J. Morris, co-creators and showrunners, said.

As for the lead stars Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, they said that they are happy but also sad at the same time as they have to say goodbye already. The two issued a joint statement with regards to the conclusion of their much-loved comedy sitcom.

“We are both delighted and heartbroken that ‘Grace and Frankie’ will be back for its seventh, though the final season,” the lead stars said. “We’re so grateful that our show has been able to deal with issues that have really connected to our grand generation.”

Release date
