Grace and Frankie
Netflix has commissioned Grace and Frankie for a fifth series.
The fourth season of the show came to the channel on January 19, with the likes of Lisa Kudrow and Paul Gallagher joined the fourth series of the programme.
But now, all guests there ever were or have been are toppled by the appearance of one drag queen – the mighty drag diety that is RuPaul.
