Meredith Scardino’s ‘Girls5eva’ gets a fresh start on Netflix: ‘It feels like a brand new drop’

When the third season of the series “Girls5eva” premieres Thursday on Netflix, it will be debuting on the platform along with the other seasons of the show, which previously lived on Peacock, before that streamer canceled the uproarious comedy about a ’90s girl group vying for fame in middle age. “It feels like we are dropping the whole series again.” In some ways, another shot seems fitting for “Girls5eva,” a show that’s all about second chances. “I felt like there was still room to tell this story of them being on tour in six episodes.” At the start of the new season, the women are thriving during a stop in Fort Worth, thanks to the fact that they’ve written a highly specific song about the city called “Tap Into Your Fort Worth” featuring lyrics like, “13th biggest in the state, can a town be a soulmate?” The Texas city has turned them into mini-celebrities, but they are also stagnant there, staying in a “Marriott Divorced Dad Suitelets” that features a vending machine with wrapped kids’ birthday presents. “We’re having fun in this territory, but I feel like we’re always on the side of the artists,” Scardino said.
