The second season of Netflix's original comedy
Grace and Frankie premieres Friday, May 6.
In
Grace And Frankie, adversaries Grace (played by Jane Fonda) and Frankie (Lily Tomlin) are unexpectedly brought together when their husbands announce that they are gay and getting hitched to each other. Martin Sheen (
The West Wing) plays Robert, Fonda's husband, while Sam Waterston (
Law and Order) plays Sol, Tomlin's husband.
The show's first season ended as Robert and Sol were planning their big day but an unexpected development threatens to put their nuptials on hold.
Sam Elliot joins the cast in the new season as a possible love interest for Grace and both women continue on their journey of rediscovery.
