Netflix Original series Grace and Frankie First Look Images and Commentary

The Netflix original series Grace & Frankie, starring Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, will premiere on May 8th exclusively on Netflix.

Jane: After our husbands' big reveal, Grace and Frankie bond at a beach house. This specific scene takes place the morning after Lily's character Frankie spikes my tea with peyote.

Lily: They did a great job by mixing seaweed into my hairdo.

Jane: More like a hair don’t. It suits you, though. Nice and salty.

Jane: I always wanted to do a show about the changes women face as we grow older. This scene is all about Grace and Frankie feeling invisible and being ignored. I throw a proper temper tantrum in front of that convenience store clerk.

Lily: Jane has an epic, level 10 meltdown. This is the calm before that storm.
Jane: We've known each other for 35 years, since 9 to 5. So shooting "Grace and Frankie" for

Netflix was like spending time with my dear old friend.

Lily: People say we have a lot of chemistry together. It’s because we've been friends for so many years. We've only done 9 to 5 together, but it seems like we've known each other always.

About Grace and Frankie
Grace and Frankie stars Jane Fonda (“Grace”) and Lily Tomlin (“Frankie”) as a pair of frenemies whose lives are turned upside down - and permanently intertwined - when their husbands leave them for each other. From executive producers Marta Kaufmann (“Friends”) and Howard Morris (“Home Improvement”), the funny and fearless series takes on aging with gusto, as Grace and Frankie face starting over in their 70s in a 21st Century world, from facelifts to Facebook, joint pain to joint rolling and blind dates to night blindness. The comedic drama also stars Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston, along with Brooklyn Decker, Ethan Embry, Baron Vaughn and June Diane Raphael.
