Season 5 will also feature Primetime Emmy Award winner RuPaul (RuPaul’s Drag Race) as a guest star portraying the role of Benjamin Le Day, a formidable and quick-witted adversary who faces off with Grace and Frankie. The show’s third season earned nine major television nominations, the most of any prior season, including Primetime Emmy Award and Screen Actors Guild Award nominations for both Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, a Writers Guild Award nomination, an NAACP Image Award nomination, as well as a Costume Designers Guild and two Makeup and Hairstyling Award nominations.
In Grace and Frankie, Jane Fonda (Grace) and Lily Tomlin (Frankie) star as two women whose lives are turned upside down when their husbands reveal they are gay and leave them for each other.
Following Grace and Frankie’s renewal earlier this year, Netflix has officially revealed the premiere date for their critically-acclaimed comedy series’ upcoming fifth season, starring veteran actresses Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin.
Both sparring partners and partners-in-crime, Grace and Frankie form an unlikely and unbreakable bond and face their uncertain futures head-on, hand-in-hand.
