Grace and Frankie, an original Netflix series starring Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, is set to premiere on May 8.

Fonda and Tomlin co-star as two women forced to reinvent their lives in the new series, according to Netflix:

“Elegant, proper Grace and freewheeling, eccentric Frankie aren’t friends, even though their husbands Robert and Sol (Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston) have been law partners for decades. But when Robert and Sol announce that they’re leaving their wives for each other, the two women start to bond in ways they never expected.”
