Fans of Grace and Frankie can breathe a sigh of relief. Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin's hit series about two longtime rivals who become friends after discovering their husbands have been secretly in a romantic relationship for decades, is returning to Netflix for a sixth season. Here's everything we know so far:

The show was officially renewed in January of 2019.

Ahead of the season five premiere, Netflix announced plans that the show would be coming back for a sixth season.

But it won't return until 2020.

Mark your calendars for January 15, 2020. Netflix has confirmed the show will return on schedule, early next year.

There's a chance Dolly Parton could appear in this season.

Fans of 9 to 5 have been been clamoring for the film's iconic trio to reunite since Grace & Frankie's first season, but in the beginning, there was a hesitation about bringing in Parton for a cameo. "I know that a lot of fans of Jane and Lily have wanted to see Dolly on the show because of 9 to 5," Brooklyn Decker, who plays Mallory on the series, said. "In the first two seasons they wanted to make sure that they fleshed out the show before they brought in what would be the tornado that is Dolly Parton."

But now that the series is heading into its sixth season, perhaps the time is right for a reunion, that is, if Dolly can fit it into her busy schedule.

"We’d like to see Dolly and we keep hoping we’ll work out a schedule, but she’s just so busy," Tomlin said during a panel last summer. "She does so many things, and now she has a big show deal herself at Netflix, so I don’t know."
