The series follows former rivals Grace (Fonda) and Frankie (Tomlin) as they develop a unique friendship after their husbands leave them for each other. “We’ll miss these two old gals, Grace and Frankie, as much as many of their fans will, but we’ll still be around,” the two stars said in a statement. “We’re so grateful that our show has been able to deal with issues that have really connected to our grand generation.

Fonda, 81, was nominated for an Emmy Award in 2017 for her role. “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,” said Cindy Holland, Netflix’s vice president of original series, according to Variety. “Jane, Lily, Sam, and Martin 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.” Grace and Frankie also saw longtime friends Fonda and Tomlin, 80, team up onscreen for the first time since their 1980 classic Nine to Five. “[It was] like spending time with my dear old friend,” Fonda previously told PEOPLE of working with Tomlin on the show. “People say we have a lot of chemistry together,” Tomlin said. “It’s because we’ve been friends for so many years. It seems like we’ve known each other always.” Season 6 of Grace and Frankie is expected to hit Netflix in January 2020.
