The show will return with new episodes on Jan. 15, 2020, which the streaming service revealed along with four photos from the new episodes.
The one featured Tomlin’s Frankie and Fonda’s Grace having one of the arguments, possibly around brunch time given the selection of beverage of Grace.
We might be getting the wedding bells for Grave and Nick Skolka (Peter Gallagher) following their engagement at the end of Season 5, as appears to be happening in the second picture.
Grace can also be envisioned with Mallory (Brooklyn Decker) and Brianna (June Diane Raphael) in another colorful shot, and we can’t wait to see what drama will bring the girls together this moment.
Last but not least Robert (Martin Sheen) and Sol (Sam Waterston) are spending some quality time together in the fourth photograph.
The statement comes a few months since Netflix disclosed the beloved comedy show will come to an end with its upcoming Season 7. The show was renewed for the last season in September. The show will wrap up with a total of 94 episodes, which makes it the longest-running show on the streaming platform.

We’ve outlasted so many things only hope we don’t outlast the planet.”
