In addition to (officially) ordering a fourth season of the Jane Fonda-Lily Tomlin comedy, Netflix on Wednesday also announced that Lisa Kudrow will recur as Grace’s longtime manicurist Sheree, who maneuvers her way into the ladies’ inner circle — much to Frankie’s dismay.

Kudrow joining the fold makes even more sense when you consider that Grace and Frankie boss Marta Kauffman also co-created Friends, the show that made Kudrow a household name in the ’90s.

Production on the show’s fourth season has already been in production for some time, making Wednesday’s announcement more of a confirmation than anything else. New episodes are expected to hit Netflix in 2018.
