Fonda and Tomlin, who costarred in 9 to 5 with Dolly Parton 34 years ago, are reunited for the series penned by Friends creator Marta Kauffman, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The series is set to include a total of 13 episodes.

The storyline of the series will follow Grace (Fonda) and Frankie (Tomlin) as they struggle to cope with the fact that their husbands want divorces from them – and to remarry each other.

Kauffman is sharing writing and executive producing duties with Howard J. Morris (According to Jim). Paula Weinstein, series stars Fonda and Tomlin, as well as David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Marcy Ross are also serving as executive producers.
