'Grace and Frankie' Season 4 News: Lisa Kudrow Stars in New Trailer as Grace's Manicurist
Netflix has released a new trailer for "Grace and Frankie" season 4.
A friendly face is joining the sitcom's fourth installment, according to reports. Lisa Kudrow will be guest-starring as Sheree, Grace's (Jane Fonda) manicurist who also becomes her close pal. The new trailer suggests Frankie (Lily Tomlin) may be a bit jealous about Sheree and Grace's blossoming friendship. Sheree gives Frankie a hug but it looks like Frankie is not happy about meeting her.
Also featured in the clip are Grace's and Frankie's efforts to deal with different issues faced by older women in the modern times. Grace gets into the online dating scene while struggling with bad knees. Frankie, on the other hand, excitedly prepares for the birth of her grandchild.
At some point in the teaser, a cop confronts Grace and Frankie after they pass out adult toys to their college students. They also cope with a major water damage in their house. Meanwhile, the duo's exes Robert (Martin Sheen) and Sol (Sam Waterson) attempt to fix their relationship issues by heading to therapy.
Back in June, creator and showrunner Marta Kauffman said reuniting with "Friends" star Kudrow felt "like coming home." She also offered a teaser on the upcoming installment's storyline.
"This next chapter is really about, for the women, coming to terms with age," said Kauffman. "[It's about] coming to terms with how old they are, where there bodies are at this point, where their minds are at this point, and what that means."
Debuted in 2015, "Grace and Frankie" follows the titular characters whose lives were turned upside down when their husbands revealed they are gay. Things got more complicated when they found out that their exes were leaving them for each other.
"Grace and Frankie" season 4 premieres Friday, Jan. 19, on Netflix.
