What Is Girls5eva All About?
Girls5eva is centered around a girl group called Girls5eva that consists of four women. These are Dawn (played by Sara Bareilles), Summer (played by Busy Philipps), Gloria (played by Paula Pell), and Wickie (played by Renée Elise Goldsberry). The story starts in the 1990s we get to know that the group tasted massive success which turned out to be a one-off success.
They quickly fade into oblivion. We see all the members are living unhappy lives and plan to make a comeback. Things change when a rapper samples their music.
What Happened In The Previous Season?
The first season of Girls5eva was released on May 6, 2021, on Peacock and consisted of eight episodes. The second season dropped a year later on May 5, 2022, and lasted till June 9th.
Toward the end of the second season, we see Girls5Eva performing at Terminal 5 with the knowledge that Dawn is expecting a child. They are facing off against Co-Z Boi and their result will decide which one of the bands will actually do a touring with Collab.
As the girls perform on “Bend Not Break”, the audience loves it and responds in a very positive manner. On the other hand, the audiences walk out when Co-Z Boi performs. The girls are informed that they might be selected as the opener.
Despite the good news, all four girls from the group have their own issues which puts a question mark on whether they will be able to go on the tour. In a shocking twist, Co-Z Boi is selected for touring by the Property Brothers despite the Girls5Eva giving a great performance. It is revealed that the company wants an opener that is less liked by the crowd so more concessions can be sold to the public.
Luckily, the girls receive a call from Lil Stinker (now known as Bootsy Tings) and are told that one of their songs is becoming popular in the city. Toward the end, they leave New York City and go on their very own tour.

The makers of Girls5eva have renewed it for Season 3. While the previous two seasons premiered on Peacock, the third one will drop on Netflix. The third season will have six episodes unlike the eight-episode in previous seasons and it will release on March 14, 2024.
