Girls5eva‘s surprising journey to Netflix didn’t occur in a single day.
As we reported Thursday, Tina Fey’s musical-tinged comedy will relocate from Peacock to Netflix for its third season. But Busy Philipps, who performs Summer, a member of the sequence’ central quartet, is revealing {that a} deal to preserve the present alive concerned prolonged negotiations.
“This has, like, kind of been in the works for many, many months,” the actress defined to her 2.4 million Instagram followers late Thursday. (*3*)
In saying the transfer to Netflix, govt producers Meredith Scardino, Tina Fey, Jeff Richmond and Robert Carlock expressed their gratitude “to Peacock for bringing Girls5eva to life and supporting us creatively at every turn since the first pitch,” including, “We are so thankful to everyone at [Netflix] who fell in love with our music-filled comedy. We cannot wait to introduce Dawn, Wickie, Summer and Gloria to the global Netflix audience.”
Created by Scardino (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt), Girls5eva debuted in May 2021 with an eight-episode freshman season on Peacock. It was renewed a month later, and Season 2 launched in May, selecting up with the Girls5eva gals sizzling off their triumph at Jingle Ball and going into #AlbumMode to report their first new album in twenty years.
Girls5eva Season 3 will premiere on Netflix in 2023.
