“I thought this was once a display that would potentially give numerous hope to people, especially to older people, particularly to women. And I think that’s actually happened,” Fonda told Vogue about the display in 2016. “Episodic television is a different animal and I had never achieved it earlier than. Being a ordinary guest big name while you are available in each and every three to 4 weeks could be very different from doing episodic television. It’s very laborious paintings, it’s very lengthy hours. It takes some time for the writers to get used in your voice, to write for you. You have to find your groove. A real comic has a sense of timing and delivery. And I’ve performed a large number of comedies. I started off doing comedies primarily, but I’m now not that kind of comic. So it took me a while for me to get my toes below me.”

The fourth season of Grace and Frankie premiered on Netflix in January 2018 and features guest stars Peter Gallagher and Lisa Kudrow. Season 5 will likely be available in 2019.
