    Girls5eva has found a new home. 

    Previously a Peacock series, the musical comedy will debut its third season on Netflix. The first two seasons will also be available to stream on the platform. 

    Starring Sara Bareilles, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Paula Pell, and Busy Philipps, the series follows a one-hit wonder '90s girl group who reunite to try to capture lightning in a bottle again. With families, careers, debt, shoulder pain and everything else in the mix, however, getting the gang back together again isn't as easy as they'd like.

    "Our deepest thanks to Peacock for bringing Girls5eva to life and supporting us creatively at every turn since the first pitch.  And we are endlessly grateful to our partners at NBCU for their boundless commitment," said executive producers Scardino, Tina Fey, Jeff Richmond & Robert Carlock. "Today, we are thrilled to announce that our reunited girl group will be re-reunited at Netflix. We are so thankful to everyone at the streamer who fell in love with our music-filled comedy."

    "We cannot wait to introduce Dawn, Wickie, Summer, and Gloria to the global Netflix audience," they continued. "Well, not fully introduce, if you look closely, Girls5eva can be seen in the background of the Woodstock ’99 documentary setting a porta potty on fire."

    A release date for Girls5eva's third season has not been announced yet.
