Here’s everything you need to know about Grace and Frankie season 7.

What is it about?

Grace and Frankie is about the unlikely friendship between two women – who have known each other for decades, but never really liked each other – after their husbands elope and they’re forced to live with one another.

Together, they start a business, which has various ups and downs. Series 7 opens with Robert and Sol (their ex-husbands) moving in with Grace and Frankie, leaving all four of them living together.

Who is in the cast?

Jane Fonda plays Grace, a former cosmetics mogul. Fonda is best known for films like Klute, Coming Home, and They Shoot Horses, Don’t They? She’s also a long-term political activist, famously protesting the Vietnam war, and more recently leading a number of climate protests.
