The acclaimed comedy series Grace and Frankie is set to end next month, as Netflix has revealed the final episodes will hit the streaming service on April 29, 2022. Bringing the seventh and final season to a close, Grace and Frankie also sets the record as the longest-running Netflix original series. Netflix has also provided a synopsis for the final episodes of the series, which you can read below.
Marta Kauffman and Howard J. Morris created the series and serve as showrunners. They also executive produced alongside series stars Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, as well as Robbie Tollin, Hannah KS Canter, Marcy Ross, Paula Weinstein, and Skydance’s David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Bill Bost. Along with Fonda and Tomlin as the titular duo, Grace and Frankie also stars Martin Sheen (Robert), Sam Waterston (Sol), Baron Vaughn (Nwabudike), Ethan Embry (Coyote), Brooklyn Decker (Mallory), June Diane Raphael (Brianna), Peter Cambor (Barry), Lindsey Kraft (Allison), Marsha Mason (Arlene), Tim Bagley (Peter), Peter Gallagher (Nick Skolka), and Christine Woods (Jessica).
Seven years ago, Grace and Frankie’s lives turned upside down when their longtime husbands left them for… each other. Both sparring partners and partners-in-crime, Grace and Frankie formed an unlikely and unbreakable bond as they faced uncertain futures head-on, and hand-in-hand. They’ve laughed together, cried together, did shrooms together, and twice-over became successful entrepreneurs together. A history-making 94 episodes later, Grace and Frankie continue to show themselves, their families, and their fans what it means to live life to the fullest, fearlessly and unapologetically. Here’s to seven seasons of laughs, tears, mood-enhancers, and good vibes. And, as Grace and Frankie would say, fuck it. This may be their final chapter, but they’re just getting started.

Grace and Frankie Will Go Out With Some Big Guest Stars
Netflix
The show has also hosted a variety of other big-name guest stars, including Craig T. Nelson, Ernie Hudson, Rita Moreno, RuPaul Charles, Lisa Kudrow, Estelle Parsons, Nicole Richie, the sharks from Shark Tank (Mark Cuban, Barbara Corcoran, Lori Greiner, Kevin O’Leary, Rohan Oza), Martin Mull, Michael McKean, Ed Asner, Marsha Mason, Sam Elliott, Engelbert Humperdinck, Debbie Allen, George Hamilton, and Ed Begley Jr. Dolly Parton coming into the final season also marks a big moment, as this will reunite the country music legend with her 9 to 5 co-stars.
Grace and Frankie premiered on Netflix in 2015. The show follows two unlikely friends brought together after their husbands announced they are in love with plans to get married. Over the years, the show has garnered acclaim with attention at awards season and high viewership on Netflix. The first half of the seventh and final season premiered in August 2021, and with the conclusion of the series in 2022, Grace and Frankie makes history as the longest-running Netflix original series. Given the streamer’s reputation for axing shows too soon, it really is remarkable for Grace and Frankie to go the distance with a seven-season run.
The final episodes of Grace and Frankie will start streaming on April 29, 2022, only on Netflix.
