Kevin James Gets Sitcom for Netflix; Grace and Frankie Gets Final Season

Kevin James

Kevin James (The King of Queens, Paul Blart: Mall Cop, True Memoirs of an International Assassin and Grown Ups) is set to star and executive produce Netflix's new multicam sitcom, The Crew. Set in a NASCAR garage, James will play the crew chief. When the owner steps down and passes the team off to his daughter, James finds himself at odds with the tech reliant millennials she starts bringing in to modernize the team. Jeff Lowell (The Ranch, Two and a Half Men, Spin City) will serve as writer, showrunner and executive producer. Jeff Sussman (The King of Queens, Paul Blart; Mall Cop, True Memoirs Of An International Assassin and Grown Ups) will serve as an executive producer. Todd Garner (Tag, Isn't It Romantic, Mortal Kombat) will serve as an executive producer. More info to come!


Grace and Frankie

Grace and Frankie has been renewed for a seventh season! But before that, Season 6 will premiere in January 2020. Also, the series has been renewed for a seventh and final season, which will make it the longest-running Netflix original series ever with 94 episodes. In Grace and Frankie, Jane Fonda ("Grace") and Lily Tomlin ("Frankie") star as two women whose lives are turned upside down when their husbands reveal they are gay and leave them for each other. Both sparring partners and partners-in-crime, Grace and Frankie form an unlikely and unbreakable bond and face their uncertain futures head-on, hand-in-hand. Together with their ex-husbands and children, they discover the true definition of "family," with laughter, tears and plenty of mood enhancers along the way.
