Girls5Eva after airing its first two seasons on Peacock has been renewed for a third season on Netflix.
The musical comedy follows girl group Girls5Eva who were a one-hit wonder circa 2000 and reunite after a young rapper samples their hit song.
‘Our fame starts 3day, and it won’t stop 4morrow, we’re girls5eva can we get a high 6??,’ Netflix posted on Thursday on Twitter.

Meredith Scardino, 46, created Girls5Eva after previously writing for Colbert Report, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and the Peacock comedy Mr. Mayor that was canceled in May after two seasons.
Scardino also is an executive producer along with Tina Fey, her husband Jeff Richmond, Robert Carlock, David Miner and Eric Gurian.

‘Our deepest thanks to Peacock for bringing Girls5eva to life and supporting us creatively at every turn since the first pitch. And we are endlessly grateful to our partners at NBCU for their boundless commitment. We are so thankful to everyone at the streamer who fell in love with our music-filled comedy,’ their statement said.
‘We cannot wait to introduce Dawn, Wickie, Summer, and Gloria to the global Netflix audience. Well, not fully introduce, if you look closely, Girls5eva can be seen in the background of the Woodstock ’99 documentary setting a porta potty on fire,’ they added.
Girls5Eva stars Sara Bareilles, 42, as self-proclaimed ‘chill one’ Dawn, Busy Philipps, 43, as self-declared ‘hot one’ Summer, Paula Pell, 59, as ‘always working one’ Gloria and Hamilton star Renée Elise Goldsberry, 51, as self-proclaimed ‘fierce one’ Wickie.

Fey previously produced Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt starring Ellie Kemper in the title role for NBC before it was acquired by Netflix.
Goldsberry also recently starred in the Disney+ series She-Hulk: Attorney At Law as attorney Mallory Book.
Grammy winner Bareilles earlier this month put on a free concert in her hometown of Eureka, California, for about 11,000 locals at a waterfront park and the city council named it Sara Bareilles Day and presented her with the key to the city.
