Girls5eva
Girls5eva is an American musical comedy television series created by Meredith Scardino that premiered on Peacock on May 6, 2021. The series follows a one-hit-wonder girl group from the late 1990s, Girls5eva, as they reunite twenty years later for another shot at stardom.
The show stars Sara Bareilles, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Paula Pell, and Busy Philipps as the members of Girls5eva. The series explores themes of nostalgia, aging, relevance, and the challenges of navigating the modern music industry as a group of middle-aged women.
The initial premise revolves around the group's song being sampled by a popular rapper, reigniting interest in them and prompting their decision to get back together. The series then tracks their efforts to write new music, navigate their personal lives, and reclaim their place in the entertainment landscape.
The humor in Girls5eva is often satirical and incorporates elements of pop culture parody, particularly of the late 1990s and early 2000s. The show also features original songs, written by Jeff Richmond, that are often humorous and reflect the group's experiences and perspectives.
Girls5eva originally aired for two seasons on Peacock before being picked up by Netflix for a third season.
