Girls5Eva will return for a second season on May 5 on Peacock. The season will premiere with three episodes, with weekly single episodes following. Watch a teaser trailer for the upcoming season above.
The series follows a faded '90s girl group band 20 years later as they try to recapture the magic after a young rapper samples on of their songs on a hit track. Season two will follow the girls on the cusp of a resurgence as their record label decides to produce a new album
Tony winner Reneé Elise Goldsberry (Hamilton) plays the group's diva Wickie, with Tony nominee Sara Bareilles (Waitress) as the calm and centered Dawn, Busy Philipps as the ditzy Summer, and Paula Pell as singer-turned-dentist Gloria—the younger version of which is played by Mean Girls alum Erika Henningsen in flashbacks.
Tony nominee Ashley Park (Henningsen's Mean Girls co-star) plays the group's fifth member, who passed away in an infinity pool accident before their resurgence. The first season cast also featured Tony nominee Andrew Rannells and Daniel Breaker as Kev and Scott, husbands to Summer and Dawn, respectively.
