The members of the girl group Girls5eva are returning for season 3, but this time on Netflix! So what’s going down in the new season? Well, Girls5eva, consisting of Dawn, Wickie, Summer, and Gloria, have reunited as well as recently recorded a new album called “Returnity.” Now, they embark on the next logical step: a comeback tour. However, they face the challenge of not having a plan, tour manager, or secured venues. Undeterred, the ladies pile into a van and venture into the unknown. They are determined to promote their album and regain their former success!
So, along the way, Girls5eva will navigate the ups and downs of life on the road, test their relationships, perform at a billionaire’s birthday party, explore personal desires, confront their perceived limitations imposed by their parents, encounter the biggest pop star in the world, and question whether they truly desire a return to the spotlight. Will Girls5eva expedite their comeback and sell their tour documentary in the process? Or will the challenges of the road prove to be their downfall?

MORE ABOUT THE SERIES
The musical comedy comes from creator, showrunner, and EP Meredith Scardino and executive producers Tina Fey, Jeff Richmond, and Robert Carlock. It premiered on Peacock in 2021 and released its second season on the platform this past spring. However, Netflix saved the show from cancelation. The first two seasons will also be available to stream on Netflix as well. (The streaming deal for seasons 1-2 of the series is described as “co-exclusive,” so fans should be able to watch the first two seasons of Girls5eva on both Peacock and Netflix.)
“Our deepest thanks to Peacock for bringing Girls5eva to life and supporting us creatively at every turn since the first pitch. And we are endlessly grateful to our partners at NBCU for their boundless commitment. Today, we are thrilled to announce that our reunited girl group will be re-reunited at Netflix,” read a joint statement from the show’s executive producers. “We are so thankful to everyone at the streamer who fell in love with our music-filled comedy. We cannot wait to introduce Dawn, Wickie, Summer, and Gloria to the global Netflix audience. Well, not fully introduce, if you look closely, Girls5eva can be seen in the background of the Woodstock ’99 documentary setting a porta potty on fire.”
The series stars Grammy winner and Tony and Emmy-nominated singer Sara Bareilles (Dawn); Grammy and Tony-winning actress and singer Renée Elise Goldsberry (Wickie); Emmy-winning Saturday Night Live mainstay and comedy icon Paula Pell (Gloria); and New York Times Best-Selling author, actor, activist, writer, and host Busy Philipps (Summer).
Scardino received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Writing for the first season of Girls5eva; Goldsberry also received nominations from the Critics’ Choice Awards, HCA Television Awards, and TCA Awards for her performance.
Season 3 of Girls5eva premieres Thursday, March 14, 2024, globally on Netflix.
