Girls5Eva, the Tina Fey-produced comedy series about a ‘90s girl group reuniting for a second chance at stardom, is getting its own “take two” this month. After Peacock decided it would not renew the series after its second season, the show was picked up by Netflix, which will premiere all six episodes of the third season March 14, as well as the full first and second seasons. Watch the Netflix trailer above.
Though Girls5Eva may have been a one-hit wonder, the actors who play the titular girl group have quite a few smashes among them: Sara Bareilles (Waitress composer and Grammy-winning recording artist), Renée Elise Goldsberry (a Tony and Grammy winner for her role in Hamilton), Paula Pell (Emmy winning SNL writer and comedian) and Busy Philipps (Freaks and Geeks and Cougar Town star, and recent Mean Girls movie “cool mom”).
In Season 3, the girls hit the road for a big comeback tour, testing their relationships with each other, their significant others, and even their parents, leaving them to question if they really even want to make it big. Most of the show's songs are penned by series creator Meredith Scardino and Jeff Richmond, Fey’s frequent co-producer husband and Mean Girls the musical composer.
The cast also includes Broadway favorites Ashley Park, Andrew Rannells, Daniel Breaker, Jonathan Hadary, and Vanessa Williams.
