Girls5eva is getting the group back together, making the move from Peacock to Netflix for a third season. The first two seasons of the critically acclaimed musical comedy will also be available to stream on Netflix.
“Our deepest thanks to Peacock for bringing Girls5eva to life and supporting us creatively at every turn since the first pitch. And we are endlessly grateful to our partners at NBCU for their boundless commitment. Today, we are thrilled to announce that our reunited girl group will be re-reunited at Netflix. We are so thankful to everyone at the streamer who fell in love with our music-filled comedy. We cannot wait to introduce Dawn, Wickie, Summer, and Gloria to the global Netflix audience. Well, not fully introduce, if you look closely, Girls5eva can be seen in the background of the Woodstock ’99 documentary setting a porta potty on fire,” said executive producers Meredith Scardino, Tina Fey, Jeff Richmond, and Robert Carlock.
The series stars Grammy winner Sara Bareilles as Dawn, Grammy winner Renée Elise Goldsberry as Wickie, Emmy winner Paula Pell as Gloria, and author/actor Busy Philipps as Summer. Meredith Scardino created the series and serves as showrunner and executive producer.
“We are so happy to bring Girls5eva to Netflix,” said Tracey Pakosta, Netflix Vice President of Comedy Series. “Just like the show, we are so excited to reunite with this amazing team.”
The Plot:
The series follows a one-hit-wonder girl group from the ‘90s who reunite to give their pop star dreams one more shot. They may be grown women balancing spouses, kids, jobs, debt, aging parents, and shoulder pain, but can‘t they also be Girls5eva?
