The streaming comedy will continue next year.
January 15, 2019
Netflix announced today that Grace and Frankie has been picked up for a sixth season. The good news comes just days ahead of the comedy's fifth season release, with word that pre-production on the next season has already begun.
The critically-acclaimed series is one of the streaming service's longest-running original comedies, with a line-up leading 52 episodes to-date. Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda star as divorcees brought together after their husbands fall in love with each other. The roles are the pair's first together since 1980's comedy 9 to 5.
There is no word on the number of episodes on-order for Season 6, though 13 has been the status quo thus far and there is no reason to expect a change at this point.
Look for Season 6 of Grace and Frankie to hit sometime in 2020. In the meantime, Season 5 is set to premiere this Friday, January 18.

Season 5 was a little slow but I still love this show! Hope there's many more seasons to come.

The first couple of seasons were fun and unique. Season 4 was lackluster. Season 5 was actually boring. No new ideas. The only pluses for Season 5 were Hugo and Carl and Frankie's funky hipster jewelry. I can't imagine Season 6 and I am sure it will be the last. The dialogue was stale, Sol has been reduced to a whiny house husband and the offspring are just dull.

Hands down the best show on NETFLIX. Love every character on this show!
Goeze...I didn't think Season 4 was underwhelming at all.

Excellent! Not typically the type of show I go for but tried it because I really liked a lot of the cast members and the show didn't disappoint.

I still have to watch Season 4. Everyone told me it was underwhelming so I was hesitant to commit but if they are going to make a Season 5, I may need to get caught up (the first 3 seasons were excellent IMO)

the whole cast are really excellent actors. So you never go wrong with this one.
