Prime Video is rounding out the series regular cast for The Runarounds, a fictional YA drama, inspired by the real band of the same name, from the creators of Outer Banks and Skydance TV. Brooklyn Decker (Grace & Frankie), Maximo Salas (Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies), Marley Aliah, Hayes MacArthur (Angie Tribeca), Mark Wystrach (The Eyes of Tammy Faye) and Shea Pritchard (The Summer I Turned Pretty) join previously announced real-life band members William Lipton, Axel Ellis, Jeremy Yun, Zendé Murdock, and Jesse Golliher—along with Lilah Pate and Kelley Pereira. The band was previously featured in a Season 3 episode of Outer Banks, which is heading into its fourth season on Netflix.

Filming will begin this month. The series is set to premiere on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.

Like Outer Banks, the series is set in Wilmington, Nc.

“The Runarounds,” a young adult drama inspired by the real eponymous band, has added six series regulars to its cast. Brooklyn Decker, Maximo Salas, Marley Aliah, Hayes MacArthur, Mark Wystrach and Shea Pritchard are joining on to the cast of the series, created by “Outer Banks” creator Jonas Pate and produced by Skydance Television.

The series stars William Lipton, Axel Ellis, Jeremy Yun, Zendé Murdock and Jesse Golliher of the real-life band —alongside creator Pate’s daughter Lilah Pate and Kelley Pereira.

Per the show’s logline: “The series follows a tight-knit group of young adults from all walks of life who come together to form a rock band the summer after graduating from high school. Against the backdrop of Wilmington, North Carolina, The Runarounds will have to choose between succumbing to the pressures of real life or risking it all to become the greatest band of all time.”

Gayle King was utterly shocked when she received a surprise during CBS Mornings.

King learned that she officially landed on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.

It was unexpected for King, who received the big news from model Kate Upton during the morning program.

“It’s right here,” Upton said, handing King a copy of the magazine featuring her cover.

Upon seeing it, she raised both arms, screamed excitedly, clapped, and bounced up and down in her seat.

“I’m on the cover?” she asked amid more screaming, sharing that she thought she would only be featured “on the inside” of the magazine.

King didn’t believe her Si Swimsuit Issue cover

During the exciting televised moments, King’s co-host told her, “You are officially Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover girl.”

“Is that a dummy cover?” the 69-year-old CBS Mornings host asked to check if they were pranking her on TV.

After seven magnificently funny and poignant seasons, Netflix’s “Grace & Frankie” is coming to an end with the airing of its final episodes starting April 29.

Grace and Frankie is returning to Netflix with its final 12 episodes. The comedy returns on April 29th, and the streaming service has released a trailer ahead of the show's conclusion. Starring Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Sam Waterston, Martin Sheen, June Diane Raphael, Brooklyn Decker, Baron Vaughn, Ethan Embry, and Peter Gallagher, the series follows two women after they bond over the fact that their husbands have come out of the closet and left them for each other.

Read More…...

When “Grace and Frankie” debuted in May of 2015, it’s doubtful even creators Marta Kauffman and Howard J. Morris or stars Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin would have expected the show to have such long-lasting sucess. But the Netflix comedy was a juggernaut hit for the streaming platform, and kind of a unicorn in terms of its longevity. Upon its final season, which arrives this month, “Grace and Frankie” is the longest-running Netflix original series in the history of the service. But as the old adage says, all good things must come to an end.

On Thursday, the official trailer for the seventh and final season of “Grace and Frankie” was released by Netflix and the marketing materials tease an emotional farewell to the long-running comedy series.

The synopsis for the season reads as follows:

“Seven years ago, Grace and Frankie’s lives turned upside down when their longtime husbands left them for…...

Legendary actresses Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin have broken records and barriers during their respective, half-century spanning careers, but the two icons are still making history, by leading Netflix’s longest-running original series.

“Grace & Frankie” returns for Season 7 April 29, with both Grace (Fonda) and Frankie (Tomlin) looking to the end.

“I’d rather take a crazy ride with you than a normal ride with anybody else,” Grace tells Frankie, who proposes a “Thelma & Louise”-style sendoff.

From reflecting on the “wasted time” with the men in their lives to facing fears, the two characters have redefined what it means to “act your age.”

“I’m 80 years old,” Grace says in the trailer. “I’ve earned the right to take my sweet fucking time.”

“Seven years ago, Grace and Frankie’s lives turned upside down when their longtime husbands left them for each other,” the official series description reads.

The end is approaching for Grace and Frankie, and we are not ready to say goodbye.

Netflix on Thursday dropped a full-length trailer for the final 12 episodes of the heartwarming comedy series.

The trailer is essentially a celebration of our titular leads' relationship, which has taken many forms throughout the seven seasons.

Whatever anyone says about their friendship, it cannot be denied that they love each other deeply, and their lives were forever changed when they were bonded forever.

"Seven years ago, Grace and Frankie’s lives turned upside down when their longtime husbands left them for… each other," the logline teases.

"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," it continues.

"A history-making 94 episodes later, Grace and Frankie continue to show themselves,...

“It was a crazy ride but I’d rather take a crazy ride with you than a normal ride with anybody else.”

So says Grace (Jane Fonda), as she and best roomie Frankie (Lily Tomlin) prepare for the end of Grace and Frankie, Netflix’s longest-running original series. By the time it’s all over this season, the comedy from Marta Kauffman and Howard J. Morris will have made a whopping 94 episodes.

The trailer for the seventh and final season that returns April 29 looks back at the good times, and those memorable moments when Grace dropped the F-bomb to make an important point. For those who haven’t sampled the laugher that also stars Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston (and seriously why have you not?), the comedy is about a pair of divorcées (masterfully played by Fonda and Tomlin) whose husbands left them to marry each other.

Grace and Frankie...

“Grace and Frankie” are contemplating the end in the trailer for the final run of episodes for the Netflix series.

In the trailer, which dropped Thursday morning, Frankie (Lily Tomlin) offers up the suggestion of the two of them doing a “‘Thelma & Louise’ thing,’ which I’m open to,” she tells Grace (Jane Fonda).

“I’m not,” Grace replies.

The show is quickly coming to an end with the second and final set of Season 7 episodes dropping April 29 on Netflix.

“It was a crazy ride, but I’d rather take a crazy ride with you than a normal ride with anyone else,” Grace tells Frankie at one moment.

As Netflix dropped the trailer, the streamer also shared a variety of fun and memorable facts about the show, including that by its end, “Grace and Frankie” will become the longest-running Netflix original series to date, spanning 94 episodes.

Frankie has had...

The final episodes of “Grace and Frankie” will premiere April 29, Netflix announced Tuesday.

Created by Marta Kauffman and Howard J. Morris, “Grace and Frankie” stars Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin as the title characters, two very different women who have disliked each other for years, even though their husbands Robert (Martin Sheen) and Sol (Sam Waterston) are law partners. When their husbands announce they’re in love and plan to divorce them to be together, Grace and Frankie find themselves roommates, and overcome their mutual animosity to become best friends navigating romances, business ventures and family drama together.

The longest-running show currently on Netflix, “Grace and Frankie” originally premiered in 2015 and has since run for seven seasons. The show was originally renewed for a 16-episode seventh and final season in 2019. Last August, Netflix surprise released the first four episodes of the final season, and announced the remaining episodes will debut...

"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," Netflix teases.

"Here’s to seven seasons of laughs, tears, mood-enhancers, and good vibes. And, as Grace and Frankie would say,...

Just call them the goodbye girls: Grace and Frankie are about to return for their final episodes on Netflix.

Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin will be back April 29 to reprise their roles as a pair of divorcées whose husbands (played by Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston as Robert and Sol) left them to marry each other.

Los Angeles City Hall was packed with hundreds of climate change activists and several celebrities Friday morning. Though their backgrounds were diverse — speakers ranged from indigenous community leaders to actors Jane Fonda and Joaquin Phoenix — they all shared a unifying message: “Our house is on fire” and the climate crisis must be confronted.

The participants congregated for the city’s first Fire Drill Friday, an ongoing environmental activism movement that was spearheaded by Fonda and Greenpeace last year. Fonda, a lifelong activist who supported the Civil Rights Movement and opposed the Vietnam and Iraq wars, has dedicated much of the last few months to the movement; she moved to Washington D.C. and started protesting outside the Capitol every Friday to urge elected officials to address the planet’s ongoing climate crisis.

Though filming duties for Netflix’s “Grace and Frankie” required Fonda to move back to Los Angeles, she...

Morris have proven that when it comes to great stories, age is truly no limit. It’s especially important given how inherently ageist the entertainment industry is around the world, especially with women. For those who have (sadly) never watched the show, Grace and Frankie is the story of Grace (Jane Fonda) and Frankie (Lily Tomlin) who find themselves forced to live together after their husbands, Robert (Martin Sheen) and Sol (Sam Waterston...
