For those of you who are avid readers of this column, you know that just a few weeks ago I wrote about “Grace & Frankie” season two being on DVD. Well now, Netflix has surprised us and is releasing season three this Friday, March 24 (two months earlier than previous seasons).
The Marta Kauffman and Howard J. Morris-created series stars Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin as a straight-laced former cosmetics company founder and a counter-culture artist who are thrown together when their lawyer husbands announce they are gay, in love and leaving their spouses to get married. With Martin Sheen and Sam Waterson as the said husbands, the Emmy- and Golden Globe-nominated series has followed the couples in the sudden new state of their lives at a time when at least Grace and Frankie themselves thought things were going to be smooth sailing — which they have proved to distinctly not be.
Season two ended with Fonda and Tomlin’s characters deciding to blend their skills and start a company making sex aids for women.
The third season of the Skydance Television-produced series sees June Diane Raphael and Brooklyn Decker return as the daughters of Grace and Sheen’s Robert. “Sneaky Pete’s” Ethan Embry and Baron Vaughn are also back as the sons of Frankie and Waterson’s Sol. The upcoming season will also see “Ghostbusters” alum and “Angie Tribeca” actor Ernie Hudson guest starring again on the Devorah Herbert production designed show.
