The sixth season of "Grace and Frankie" completed production this earlier this year and won't air until January 2020. Grace and Frankie had to have its last season sometime. "That doesn't make us happy.". You binge-watch through the first season in a weekend, then have to wait months or years for a new one. A premiere date for Season 7 has yet to be announced. But then you get the news that your favorite show has been cancelled, leaving you with loose ends that will never be tied up. Furthermore, like Transparent, Grace and Frankie is set in suburban Los Angeles, so the scenery and vibe of the region are equally present in both series. "I can't say too much, but we're going to be dealing with Robert, Sol, Grace, and Frankie in a way in that we haven't seen before," Kauffmann revealed. Grace and Frankie leaves something to be desired when it comes to the show's queerness, and it's not just because the premise of Grace and Frankie's husbands being together was an afterthought when creating the show. Grace and Frankie had to have its last season sometime. Specifically, some of the jokes on the show sound like gags someone would make in the 1990s, which render them super dated. Unfortunately, yes. And while some of our favorites get a longer run than others, going on indefinitely just isn't a realistic option, even in the streaming age. "It's thrilling and somehow fitting, that our show about the challenges, as well as the beauty and dignity of aging, will be the oldest show on Netflix," co-creators and showrunners Marta Kauffman and Howard J. Morris said in same the statement. Add all of these points up, and you might have one more reason Grace and Frankie isn't getting an eighth season, as it comes off a little too much like Transparent. Additionally, there's a major plot parallel, as Transparent is about a septuagenarian transgender woman who comes out of the closet, and Grace and Frankie is about two women in their 70s navigating the fallout after their husbands come out as gay. "[Tomlin] found out [Sam Waterston and Martin Sheen] are getting the same salary that we are," Fonda said, according to an article in Vanity Fair Hollywood. Yes, kind of. For example, according to an article in Salon, Tomlin is your typical Southern California hippie with an interest in drugs and shamanism, and Fonda is a status-conscious woman who mourns the loss of her youthful good looks — essentially rendering them as caricatures instead of fully-developed individuals. Jane Fonda (Grace) and Lily Tomlin (Frankie) are two of the most delightful people to watch on television. That's a missed opportunity that could have cost the show a longer run. But that's just speculation for now. Additionally, Grace and Frankie addresses other critical issues, such as Grace struggling with her cold extended family and one of Frankie's children being in recovery for substance abuse. And when it comes to the character meltdowns, they often can seem contrived and campy. Additionally, when Grace's family disregards her, it's made out to not be a big deal, when in reality it would be extremely difficult to deal with. We've outlasted so many things -- just hope we don't outlast the planet.". Microsoft may earn an Affiliate Commission if you purchase something through recommended links in this article. To top it all off, the adult children in Grace and Frankie have complicated relationships with one another, in yet another direct plot parallel to Transparent. After all, all good shows must come to an end, whether it's Orange is the New Black, The OA, or Sense8, to name just a few.

Considering that the series launched just as same-sex marriage became the law of the land in the United States in 2015, the situation explored on the show is, on its face, extremely compelling. Perhaps that was just one more nail in the coffin for Grace and Frankie. But, really, this is the kind of decision that comes from Netflix. Or rather, it's trying to be a queer show. As frustrating as that is, get used to it, as Netflix is pulling the plug on more and more shows after just two or three seasons, according to an article in Deadline. Plus their dislike of one another doesn't seem to be rooted in anything other than they're very different from one another, which isn't a very good reason for mutual acrimony. We got more clarity on the reason why in a January 2020 Los Angeles Times interview with Marta Kauffman, who co-created the show (she also co-created a little show called Friends). It wouldn't need to be graphic, either — just more believable in their tender moments. In fact, after it concludes, it will surpass Orange Is the New Black as the longest-running Netflix series ever. But she was able to offer some vague details. "It was a combination of things," Kaufman told the newspaper. "Once we knew that Jane and Lily were both interested, we had to come up with an idea that would be worthy of them because they're both so extraordinary," creator Marta Kauffman revealed. Maybe if the Friends co-creator hadn't put the cart before the horse, Grace and Frankie wouldn't be ending so soon. Although Grace and Frankie centers on two older women and their friendship, some critics have pointed out that the show borrows a little too much from the Amazon series Transparent, according to an article in Salon. Connect with friends faster than ever with the new Facebook app. Given that the premise of Grace and Frankie hinges on the woman's husbands falling in love with each other and finally coming out so they can be together after 20 years of hiding their relationship, there's no doubt that it's a queer show. With a star-studded cast featuring Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Sam Waterston, and Martin Sheen, Grace and Frankie sought to answer a big question: what happens when two married men, who have been having an affair for two decades, finally decide to come out, divorce their wives, and marry each other? "We made a joke in an interview about our salaries which was taken out of context," Tomlin and Fonda said in a joint statement, adding, "We appreciate everyone's support and the attention to this issue but the structure of Grace and Frankie is fair."
