‘Girls5Eva’ Season 3 — Cast, Plot, and Everything We Know So Far

Your favorite girl group is back for more, with Season 3 of Girls5Eva on its way. Created by Meredith Scardino (The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) and executive produced by Tina Fey and Robert Carlock (30 Rock), the show tells the story of a pop group who decide to give their singing career another go twenty years after they were one-hit wonders. The remaining four members of Girls5Eva come together in an attempt to scrape up what’s left of their fame and have a second chance at stardom.

For its Season 3 premiere, Girls5Eva will be relocating from its home on Peacock to a new stage on Netflix. The show was canceled by Peacock only a month after Season 2 premiered, despite the rave reviews from critics. Netflix quickly picked up the comedy, allowing it to land a third season on their service. While Season 1 focuses primarily on the girls learning to trust one another enough that they go all-in on giving their band a second chance, Season 2 centers around the women as they attempt to balance their aspirations as a band with their lives at home. In the Season 2 finale, Girls5Eva decides they don’t need to hitch themselves to a bigger musical act in order to go on tour and decide to embark on their own while trusting their abilities as artists.

‘Great News’ (2017-2018)

While all Fey/Carlock shows have incredible comedic ensembles, Great News presents a master class in casting. The show follows Katie (Briga Heelan) as she attempts to climb the ladder at a local New Jersey news station, while her mother, Carol (Andrea Martin) decides to become an intern at the station. Katie juggles her job, her mother, her boss (Greg Walsh), and the show’s incompetent leading anchors, Chuck (John Michael Higgins) and Portia (Nicole Richie). John Michael Higgins (Best In Show) is absolutely perfect as the daft Chuck Pierce, while Nicole Richie (8 Simple Rules) proves she is a wonderful comedic actress as Portia Scott-Griffith. While the show only ran for two seasons on NBC, it is incredibly well-written and sharply funny, with lovable characters and laugh-out-loud moments.
