Netflix has officially announced the cancellation of the beloved musical comedy series, Girls5eva, for the second time. The show, created by Meredith Scardino and executive produced by Tina Fey, first aired in 2021 and quickly gained a dedicated fan base.
The series follows the lives of four women – Dawn, Summer, Gloria, and Wickie – who were once part of a successful girl group in the early 2000s. However, after fading into obscurity as one-hit wonders, their lives take a turn when a famous rapper samples their song and they decide to reunite and try their luck in the music industry once again.
Critics and fans alike praised the show for its clever writing and fresh humor, giving it a 97% rating on review site Rotten Tomatoes. Each season also received high ratings, with 98%, 95%, and 100% respectively.
Despite its critical success, the show faced cancellation by its original broadcaster, Peacock. However, it was then picked up by Netflix and a third season was released in March of this year. Unfortunately, the show failed to crack Netflix's Top 10 list and it was announced this week that it had been cancelled once again.
One of the show's stars, Busy Philipps, shared her disappointment on her podcast, Doing Her Best, stating that the show was now "dead". She expressed her gratitude for the show and her "sisters5eva", as well as Netflix for giving them a chance to continue singing together.
Fellow star Sara Bareilles also expressed her desire for the show to return, but ultimately accepted that it was out of her hands. Creator Meredith Scardino also shared her hopes for a continuation, revealing that she has a plethora of ideas for future seasons.
Fans of the show were heartbroken by the news, with many taking to social media to express their love and support. As of now, Netflix has not released a statement regarding the cancellation.
But for now, fans can still enjoy the show as it streams on Netflix. And as the saying goes, "love you 5eva".
