Grace and Frankie
HOW/WHEN & WHERE TO WATCH: Streaming on Netflix
Season Premiere
The gals are back once again for more ageless adventures with the sixth season of Grace and Frankie on Netflix. After season 5 ended with Frankie (Lily Tomlin) looking a little crestfallen to discover Grace (Jane Fonda) had surprise-married her younger boo (Peter Gallagher), things are inevitably about to change for the besties as Grace moves in with her trophy hubby and, in doing so, contends with elderly-unfriendly furniture. “She discovers a lot of challenges to moving in with Nick,” says Fonda. “Some of those challenges that Grace faces lead Frankie to invent a new product that they attempt to go into business with. It’s really funny, and very much relevant to aging!” Cue an appearance on Shark Tank for the ladies! Elsewhere, Robert (Martin Sheen) and Sol (Sam Waterston) deal with health and money issues while Grace’s daughter Brianna (June Diane Raphael) has an awkward run-in with a turkey baster. There’s all of that and whole lot more hilarity that shows, as Tomlin points out, “It’s not so awful to be older; you can still have a lot of fun! A lot of people tell us how the show gives them hope — that they’ve been very spirited by it.” It’s a grand old time indeed. —Ruth Kinane
