Will 'Girls5eva' Get Renewed for Season 4?
Musical comedy Girls5eva was canceled on its original streaming home, Peacock, but it was recently picked up by Netflix, which means even more viewers will get the chance to fall in love with the show executive produced by Tina Fey. Created by writer Meredith Scardino, who also worked with Fey on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, the story follows a girl group who were one hit wonders in the Y2K-era. The pop stars get brought back to life when their song is sampled by a huge rapper, and they decide to chase their dream again as middle-aged women.
It was announced that Netflix would keep their ride to fame going in October 2022, but the third season was only released on March 14, 2024. Fans are already wondering if there will be a season 4. Here's everything we know about the possibility so far.
Has Girls5eva been renewed for season 4?
If it’s up to Scardino, she would love to come back for another season, according to an interview she recently did with Decider.
“I would like to do one. I would like to see the story continue, assuming people watch it and love it,” she said, adding that she has “a notes app [full] of a bunch of ideas and things.” However, there's been no official word from Netflix yet.
In a May 2024 interview, star Sara Bareilles shared that she still hasn’t heard any renewal news yet. “But do I want to do more? Absolutely. That part is truly out of my hands, so I’ve got to make peace with that,” she told Vulture.
She would, however, settle for a film installment instead of another season if that’s what Netflix will allow. “I’ve been pushing for the movie. I’m like, ‘Let’s Sex and the City this thing,’” she added.
During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in late June, she seemed hopeful when discussing Netflix’s metrics. She shred that the streaming platform allowed Girls5eva to be “able to reach such a massive audience.”
“I think that it’s doing great,” she added. “But the barometer for a hit on a global platform is pretty high, so you want to see it gain love over time. I’m hopeful that it finds the comedy nerds and continues to grow.”
What will season 4 of Girls5eva be about?
At the end of the season 3 finale, the girls of Girls5eva have actually seen some success from their efforts. They sell out a Thanksgiving Day concert at Radio City Music Hall, using semi-nefarious means on Ticketmaster, which is a win. But there is some tension in the group when Wickie unexpectedly receives some solo performance attention. Her song “Yesternights” has appeared in The Crown’s finale, upping her clout. The question is if she can bring the rest of the crew along with her to higher levels of success. Another season would likely build on this decision for Wickie and her commitment to the group, and investigate what else changes when their dreams actually start coming true.
Who is returning for Girls5eva season 4?
The show stars Sara Bareilles, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Busy Philipps, and Paula Pell as Dawn, Wickie, Summer, and Gloria, respectively. Since they’re the show’s headliners, they would likely be back for another season. But stay tuned for an official announcement.
