We just wanted wanted to give you something special, until we finish the rest of the season.”

Grace and Frankie tells the story of enemies turned best friends, Grace, portrayed by Fonda, and Frankie, portrayed by Tomlin. They bond after their husbands, played by Sheen and Waterson, reveal that they have fallen in love with each other, and then leave their respective wives to start a new life together. Grace and Frankie become roommates, and go on many wild escapades and hardships while re-learning how to be single.
The final twelve episodes of season seven will follow sometime in 2022, but for now, the first four episodes are just what the doctor ordered.
