‘Grace and Frankie,’ created by Marta Kauffman and Howard J. Morris, is a comedy sitcom about the eponymous characters, Grace Hanson and Frankie Bergstein, who couldn’t be more different. For years, they barely tolerated each other because their spouses are business colleagues. Grace and Frankie’s lives are turned upside down when their husbands confess that they are gay and want to marry each other. The two ladies grow inseparable as they ride the ups and downs of their lives together.

The show received mixed reviews when it first aired on May 8, 2015. However, it went on to amass a vast and devoted fan base as a result of its happy tale and intriguing characters. The comedy series won multiple honors, including Primetime Emmys and Golden Globes. So, after flying through the seventh round, you’re probably wondering what the rest of the show has in store for you. Is there going to be a season 8? So, here’s everything we have to say.

Season 8 of Grace and Frankie: Renewed or Cancelled?

Season 7 of ‘Grace and Frankie’ aired on Netflix on August 13, 2021. The season’s larger and final set of episodes, however, debuted on April 29, 2022. The seventh season of the show consists of 16 episodes, each lasting 26-33 minutes.

Here’s what we’ve learned about the show’s possible eighth season, and you might want to brace yourself for this. On September 4, 2019, the program was given the green light for its seventh iteration, which was also supposed to be its final round. Kauffman acknowledged in January 2020 that the show’s cancellation was not completely a creative decision. “It was a combination of factors,” she explained.

“Netflix isn’t doing long-term shows anymore,” Kauffman continued. And we are quite fortunate to have received the seventh season. When we first started, I believe we imagined seven seasons. But, in reality, this is the type of decision that Netflix makes.” Although the series’ co-creator was disappointed, she felt the decision was sound.

Kauffman gave further plausible explanations for Netflix’s decision to cancel the show in April 2022. “I think it would be difficult to sell Grace and Frankie right now,” she told Deadline. It’s a little concerning that there might not be more shows starring ladies of a certain age.” She even stated that the series was created to “walk a line between drama and comedy,” which is allegedly not what fans are looking for right now.

Nonetheless, Kauffman claims that there were no ill feelings between the streaming service and the team behind the successful comedy series. “Shows have a shelf life,” she admitted. “We felt like we were telling things that we wanted to tell.” I mean, if we had intended to stop it before Netflix, we would have had a lengthy discussion with Jane and Lily. That, however, was not the case. And that’s fine. “There’s nothing I’m sorry I didn’t do.” As a result, ‘Grace and Frankie’ season 8 has been officially canceled.

Having said that, ‘Grace and Frankie’ has established a standard for all Netflix programs. With 94 episodes under its belt, it has become the streamer’s longest-running series. “It’s wonderful and oddly fitting that our show about the hardships, as well as the beauty and dignity of age, will be the oldest show on Netflix,” Kauffman and Morris said in a joint statement.

Furthermore, the show’s stars, Jane Fonda (Grace) and Lily Tomlin (Frankie), expressed their “both happiness and heartbreak” at the news of the show’s cancellation. They were grateful, however, that the series was able to shed attention on concerns that had spanned generations. The award-winning performers also stated that they will miss their on-screen personalities as much as fans do, but that they will remain present. On that point, we’d like to remind you that the series is part of Netflix’s streaming library, which means you can watch your favorite episodes whenever you want.
