Jane Fonda & Lily Tomlin To Star In Netflix Comedy
LOS GATOS (CBS SF/AP) - Netflix says it's reuniting Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin for a new comedy series.
The Los Gatos-based online TV network will launch "Grace and Frankie" starring Fonda and Tomlin as longtime foes who come together when their husbands desert them after falling in love.
The single-camera comedy will film a first season of 13 half-hour episodes to premiere on Netflix next year.
The two actresses co-starred a quarter-century ago in the comedy hit, "Nine to Five."
Fonda recently appeared on HBO's "The Newsroom" and was seen in the film "Lee Daniels' The Butler." Tomlin appeared in last year's Tina Fey comedy, "Admission."
Marta Kauffman is a writer and creator of "Grace and Frankie." She's a creator of the sitcom classic "Friends."
Earlier this year, Tomlin married her longtime partner, Jane Wagner, in a private New Year's Eve ceremony in Los Angeles.
