Girls5eva, a hilarious TV comedy series, revolves around a 1990s girl group that achieved fleeting fame with a single hit song. Their fortunes take an unexpected turn when a rapper samples their iconic track, presenting them with an opportunity to make a comeback. While the second season commenced on May 5, 2022, the show unfortunately faced cancellation by Peacock. However, there was good news on the horizon as Netflix stepped in to save the day, ensuring the production of a third season.

Despite receiving critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base, Girls5eva struggled to attract a substantial viewership on Peacock. The show's creators expressed their gratitude to Peacock and NBC for their unwavering support, while eagerly anticipating the chance to introduce the show's characters to a wider global audience. In a lighthearted nod, they playfully mentioned that eagle-eyed viewers might catch a glimpse of the characters setting a porta potty on fire in a documentary about Woodstock '99.

Following Netflix's rescue, the executive producers of Girls5eva - Meredith Scardino, Tina Fey, Jeff Richmond, and Robert Carlock - released a statement expressing their joy at the show receiving a new lease of life with Netflix. They thanked Peacock for their collaboration in bringing Girls5eva to life and acknowledged NBCU's unwavering commitment. The producers also expressed their excitement about introducing Dawn, Wickie, Summer, and Gloria to the diverse Netflix audience, teasing that their introduction may not be entirely straightforward due to their Woodstock '99 escapade.

Girls5eva's compact six-episode format allows for efficient filming, resulting in shorter post-production timelines compared to other shows. As a result, there is a strong possibility that the third season could premiere in the same year, potentially gracing screens in the fall or winter of 2023. Fans are eagerly hoping for a prompt release, avoiding any delays that might push the premiere to 2024, given that the show was initially announced in 2022.

Busy Philipps, the talented actress who portrays Summer on Girls5eva, recently took to Instagram to announce the completion of filming for the upcoming season. She shared a photo of the cast and crew gathering on the soundstage, celebrating the successful conclusion of production. With filming wrapped up, attention now turns to the post-production process.

While Girls5eva Season 3's post-production is likely to be expedited compared to other shows, concerns arise due to the ongoing writers' strike potentially impacting the release. If the strike persists for an extended period, it could disrupt the series' production and delay its debut. The full extent of the writers' strike impact on Girls5eva Season 3 remains uncertain.

After Season 2, Girls5eva found themselves on the verge of embarking on a tour, gradually gaining momentum in their comeback journey. However, each member of the group faces personal challenges that may hinder their ability to join the tour. Dawn discovers her pregnancy, Gloria and Wickie grapple with relationship concerns, and Summer struggles with the idea of leaving her daughter Stevia with Kev. Despite these obstacles, the girls decide to take the leap and showcase their talents to the world on tour.

In an interview with Seth Meyers, Paula Pell, writer and actress on Girls5eva, disclosed that Season 3 will feature the girl group on tour, which promises to be a delightful blend of chaos and imperfection. Pell humorously described the tour as a bit of a "hot mess" or "janky." While the group possesses a hit song and undeniable talent, they are bound to encounter both unforeseen and expected setbacks during their journey.

Girls5eva Season 3 might commence with a time jump, presenting events that follow the tour rather than a direct continuation from Season 2. Alternatively, it could pick up right where the previous season left off. The tour itself is likely to present fresh challenges for the group, offering new developments and experiences for Summer, Gloria, and Wickie in their personal lives.

Although the first two seasons of Girls5eva are already accessible on Netflix in certain regions worldwide, they have yet to make their debut on Netflix US. While an official release date for the US market has not been announced, fans can anticipate their arrival sometime in 2023. Both seasons will likely be available for streaming before the premiere of Season 3.
