Girls5Eva centers on a nineties girl band who reunites for a comeback in their 40s. Sara Bareilles, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Paula Pell and Busy are all regulars.
The show’s creator, Meredith Scardino said: “We are so excited to share the next chapter in Dawn, Wickie, Gloria, and Summer’s journey as they enter ‘Album Mode and embark on making their first studio album on their own terms.”
