“It’s our honor to transform LA for one week into the funniest place on. This festival is a unique celebration of the art of comedy, and the role it plays in reflecting our lives and defining culture,” said Sarandos in a statement.

Multiple outlets report that the sequel to the 1980 comedy starring the trio of actresses, is officially not happening. 

Talks of a sequel began in 2018. “All these years we’ve talked about doing a sequel to 9 to 5, but it never made any real sense,” Parton said at the time. “Until just recently (with) all the equal work for equal pay and all the harassment in the workplace (backlash), we decided that we are going to try to do another one,” she added.

But now, Parton confirmed that the planned sequel has been scrapped. 

“I don’t think we’re going to do the sequel,” Parton said. “We never could get the script to where it was enough different than the first one, and that one turned out so good. We’re thinking we might do a completely different thing together, Jane, Lily and I,” she added. “We may do something different altogether, but I don’t think we’ll continue with (the sequel).”

Grace and Frankie premiered in 2015 and told the hilarious and emotional story of two women who have nothing in common but end up forming an unlikely friendship after their husbands decide to leave them – for each other.

Hollywood veterans Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin took on the titular roles in this sitcom and received a series of award nominations for their individual performances. Despite the fact they’ll miss these characters as much as we will, their legacy lives on.

“We are both delighted and heartbroken that Grace and Frankie will be back for its seventh, though final, season. We’re so grateful that our show has been able to deal with issues that have really connected to our grand generation. And their kids, and amazingly, their kids as well,” said the duo in an official statement.

Grace and Frankie tells the story of two women who form an unlikely friendship after finding out their husbands have been romantically involved for years. It’s an amazing celebration of female empowerment and unity in the face of adversity, and that’s part of the reason why it became such a huge hit.

The other reason? The glorious Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin did an amazing job transforming into these character. Both stars received nominations for numerous accolades thanks to playing Grace and Frankie, including Emmy and Screen Actors Guild Award.

This series has been going strong since 2015, and its appeal is spanning generations. Tomlin and Fonda are happy it hit chord with so many different people, especially women their age.

“What Lily and I hear very often is women saying to us: “It makes us feel less afraid of getting older. It makes us feel hopeful.” That makes you feel good,” said Fonda during an interview with Washington Post.

In a recent interview, country music icon Dolly Parton said that the hit comedy 9 to 5 will return, much to the show’s fan’s excitement.

While it’s been gestating for a while, it seems that the wait is worth while as Parton revealed that not only she, but also her original co-stars, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin are game to return for the reboot.

“All these years we’ve talked about doing a sequel to 9 to 5 and it never made any real sense until just recently,” Parton said, adding that she believes that everything that’s going on in the US today will serve as a perfect backdrop for a reboot. “We decided that we are going to do another one. We are trying to get the script and all that, everyone is very interested and we’ve all agreed that we’d love to do it if it’s right.”

While there’s no official confirmation of a sequel or reboot from 20th Century Fox, it sure sounds that Dolly’s plans are concrete.

“They presented with me an idea the other day and I said, ‘Yes,'” she explained. “This new idea [is] going to bring some new girls in… and they’re gonna find us, the old characters. We’ve all come up with a business of our own. So, they come to find us just to get some input.”

The plan is to bring back the original co-writer Patricia Resnick to pen the new script with help from Rashida Jones, a script that will focus on a new trio of women who when dealing with similar workplace issues track down the original trio.
