After three seasons, Girls5eva has been canceled by Netflix. Per Variety, the musical comedy series will not be returning for a fourth season.
This is the second time that Girls5eva has been canceled. The show originally aired on Peacock for two seasons from 2021 to 2022. In October 2022, Netflix saved the series and renewed it for a third season after Peacock passed on the opportunity. The six-episode third season aired on Netflix in March 2024.
Busy Philipps one of the stars on Girls5eva, reacted to the disappointing news on her Instagram.
“I am forever grateful for this incredible show and these girls that became my sisters5eva, for Netflix giving us a chance to sing together a little bit longer and for everyone at Universal and Peacock who rooted so hard for our show,” Philipps wrote. “And of course the genius of Meredith and Jeff and Eric and my patron saint Tina Fey. I honestly don’t know how or what i would be without this show and the endless joy it brought me in the darkest time of my life. i really really love what i do. and sometimes it feels almost impossible. anyway, isn’t that just like everything good in life? love you 5eva.”
Who is involved in Girls5eva?
“Girls5eva follows a one-hit-wonder girl group from the late ‘90s whose members reunite to give their pop star dreams one more shot,” Netflix’s official synopsis reads. “They may be grown women balancing spouses, kids, jobs, aging parents, and debt, but can‘t they also be Girls5eva?”
The stars of Girls5eva include Sara Bareilles as Dawn, Philipps as Summer, Paula Pell as Gloria, and Renée Elise Goldsberry as Wickie.
Girls5eva is created and executive produced by Meredith Scardino (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt). Additional executive producers include Tina Fey, Robert Carlock, David Miner, Eric Gurian, and Jeff Richmond.
The first two seasons are streaming on Peacock. However, all three seasons can be found on Netflix.
