Grace and Frankie season 8 : It’s been quite a long road however, Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda are now heading out towards the sunset together while Grace as well as Frankie takes the last end.
The sitcom has enjoyed an impressive amount of longevity since its debut in the year 2015. It was based on the characters – who have to adapt to their new life after their husbands become gay and then leave their wives for their partner It had a distinct and often under-appreciated viewers: the elderly woman.
The seven seasons that followed has been lauded for its honest and humorous depiction of what it’s like to be an older lady, and what menopausal changes actually mean and why beginning over in what many call the “twilight years” is not as straightforward as it appears. It was full of passion and enthusiasm that was encapsulated with Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda’s fireworks performances.
It became a cult favorite but not an exceptional one. Its biggest note of recognition (aside from the 13 primetime Emmys they were nominated for but never won) was its central role in an SNL song parody about Paul Rudd and Pete Davidson pretending to love the “more macho” Game of Thrones, when in fact they’d much prefer to spend time catching up with enemies-turned-besties.
The continuation of the show is in the same way to us just as it is to you, and especially because it has managed to maintain its spot in Netflix’s ever-changing schedule of releases.
The co-creator Marta Kauffman told the LA Times that there was “multiple reasons” to make the upcoming episode seven of the season their final.
“It was a mixture of different things. Netflix has stopped doing long-term series nowadays,” she said. “And we’re really fortunate to have the seventh season..
“I believe that when we first started thinking about seven seasons, we had a vision of seven. However, in reality this is the type of choice that comes from Netflix. As sad as I am about it coming to an end, something is logical about it.”
On the other hand, on the website some cult favorite shows continue to be subject to the death knell on the streaming service, despite the outrage of fans. Examples include Alison Brie-led GLOW was cut because of Covid The show had the distinction of receiving the final season The Society, which was renewed just to be cancelled due to Netflix to cancel the decision a few weeks before the filming scheduled to begin.
The fan campaign in support of Julie and The Phantomscontinue to continue to advance months after the announcement of cancellation after just one season. Grace as well as Frankiehas proved to be one of the slower fire in the fire of Netflix.
When the show’s run Grace as well as Frankiewill be the longest-running original series that the streaming service offers having seven seasons with more than 94 episodes to its credit. It’s longer than Netflix’s previous big hit Orange Is the New Black (which was on for seven seasons and 91 episodes) along with other long-running favorite shows such as Big Mouth (five seasons/51 episode) and House of Cards (six seasons/73 episodes).).
This is more remarkable when you consider Netflix has earned a reputation for putting the timer on its shows around the four-season mark, and only a handful of shows getting past this point.
Ozark, despite its award show and audience growth, has just ended at the moment (albeit with the final season being split into two episodes) and teens’ rom-com It’s been a while since I ever confirmed that the show will conclude at the end of the end of season 4 in 2023 too. In addition, Stranger Things that is considered to be one of the biggest Netflix success series, is set to wrap in season five.
Grace as well as Frankie does not have the same ‘watercooler chat’ feature like these streaming services counterparts. It’s not as popular as a topic on social media as. Stats aggregate site FlixPatrol it’s reported that the seven-season show was among the top 10 all-time most watched Netflix programs for a total of 13 days. And that was just on both the US as well as Canada.
It was just an issue of time until the final curtain fell on the show and the lead actors Lily and Jane released a statement, expressing an emotion of closure to G+Fback, the good ship. G+Fback after the cancellation was announced in 2019.
(The delay between when and now was because of Covid.)
