Grace And Frankie Sets Premiere Date For Final Episodes — Plus, 19 Fun Facts!

April showers bring... the end of Grace and Frankie.

Netflix announced on Tuesday that the long-running comedy starring Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin will release its final 12 episodes on Friday, April 29. (The farewell run's first four episodes were dropped back in mid-August, to tide over patient fans.)

What will the final salvo of 12 episodes look like?

"Seven years ago, Grace and Frankie's lives turned upside down when their longtime husbands left them for... each other," a synopsis from the streamer reminds us. "Both sparring partners and partners-in-crime, Grace and Frankie formed an unlikely and unbreakable bond as they faced uncertain futures head-on, and hand-in-hand. They've laughed together, cried together, did shrooms together, and twice-over became successful entrepreneurs together.

"A history-making 94 episodes later, Grace and Frankie continue to show themselves, their families, and their fans what it means to live life to the fullest, fearlessly and unapologetically," the overview continues. "Here's to seven seasons of laughs, tears, mood-enhancers, and good vibes. And, as Grace and Frankie would say, [f--k] it. This may be their final chapter, but they're just getting started."

Series creators Marta Kauffman & Howard J. Morris penned the series finale, which is title "The Beginning," with Kauffman also directing the closer.

With its final season, Grace and Frankie makes Netflix history as the streaming giant's longest-running original series ever (out of both comedy and drama), by amassing 94 total episodes. In addition to that, Netflix shared other fun facts about its longest-running original series, which we curated for you below.

♦ When shooting in a working hospital during Season 2, Martin Sheen had to be in an elevator with a corpse.

♦ Medical issues addressed on the show included prostate cancer, stroke, heart attack, knee replacement and, of course, circumcision.

♦ "We went through six short ribs in the shooting and rehearsing of the episode (6x08) where Principal Dan punched the short rib."

♦ "As far as we know, this is the only TV show that used a toilet as a bong," as enjoyed by Frankie and Joan-Margaret in the scene above.

♦ It is also the only time Jane Fonda has crawled through a doggy door.

♦ "Approximately 7,042 jokes" were thrown out in the course of writing the 94 total scripts.

♦ The beach house is almost an exact replica of series co-creator Marta Kauffman's own property (although the set is about 15 percent larger than the original).

♦ Since the series' inaugural season, 30 cast and crew babies were born.

♦ Captain & Tennille's "Love Will Keep Us Together" was one of the choices for the intro song; "Stuck in the Middle With You," covered by Grace Potter, made the final cut.

♦ Over the course of the series, Frankie has had 20 pairs of overalls and worn approximately 490 pounds of jewelry.

♦ During Zoom table reads, Lily Tomlin frequently got phone calls for food delivery.

♦ Due to pandemic-related delays, the seventh and final season took two years to shoot. "As a matter of fact, it took us a year-and-a-half to shoot one episode."

♦ Series co-creator Marta Kauffman kept the Ryan Gosling chair from Episode 1.

♦ Mallory's baby being born into her sweatpants is based on Grace and Frankie costume designer Allyson Fanger's real-life experience delivering her second child.

♦ All of the Writers PAs (production assistants) and Writers Assistants from the first six seasons ultimately became writers on the show.

♦ There were two Rise Ups built for the storyline in which Frankie solves Grace's toilet issue following knee surgery, and the product ultimately was pitched to Shark Tank (in a bit of a "crossover" episde). "Only one of them rose up."

♦ "This is the only show where most of the writing staff got arrested" (TVLine presumes as a result of this demonstration of sorts). "All part of working with Jane Fonda."

♦ Approximately 150 people worked on Grace and Frankie on a daily basis.
