The hilarious musical comedy series Girls5eva was rescued for its third season after being initially canceled, but will the show be renewed for season 4? Debuting in 2021 as a Peacock original, Girls5eva concerns the members of a 1990s one-hit-wonder pop group who decide to reunite after one of their songs goes viral. Across the three seasons so far, the band members each try to juggle their adult lives with their far-fetched dreams of pop stardom in their 40s. Deftly blending music, heart, and humor, Girls5eva is a bona fide sleeper hit.

That cult status earned the show a devoted audience, but its original streaming home didn't have faith in the series after season 2. In a shocking move, Peacock canceled the well-reviewed series after two seasons, leaving its future in jeopardy. However, Netflix wasted no time in scooping up the abandoned program and swiftly renewed it for a third season, which debuted on the platform along with the first two seasons. Now, Girls5eva's future depends on its success on Netflix, and the series has not yet been renewed for a fourth season.

Girls5eva Season 4 Is Not Confirmed

Will Netflix Renew Girls5eva Again?

Netflix has not yet renewed Girls5eva for a season 4, and it's unclear if and when a decision will be reached. The streamer took a gamble by picking up the show for another set of episodes, and that recent trend of reviving recently canceled series has been hit or miss. The decision to binge-drop all three seasons at once was a smart move on Netflix's part, but the renewal will hinge upon long-term viewership numbers. Even if Girls5eva shoots up the charts, it will need to stay there to earn a fourth season.

With more than half a year passing since the third season arrived, it isn't a good sign that Netflix has made no announcements regarding Girls5eva .

Unfortunately, Girls5eva didn't really make a splash on Netflix, and that could be the nail in the show's coffin. Despite three seasons to binge, it seems as if the musical comedy couldn't cut through the noise on Netflix and was largely lost in the platform's deluge of content. With more than half a year passing since the third season arrived, it isn't a good sign that Netflix has made no announcements regarding Girls5eva.

All 6 episodes of Girls5eva season 3 premiered on March 14 on Netflix.

Girls5eva Season 4 Cast

Will The Band Get Back Together...Again?

Shows like Girls5eva live and die on their ensemble cast, and if Netflix renews the series for season 4, the entire main cast will need to return. Since the leads have stuck with the program throughout its rocky last few years, it stands to reason that they will return for season 4, especially after the cliffhanger ending. That means fans can expect to see Sara Bareilles return as Dawn alongside Busy Philipps as Summer, Paula Pell as Gloria, and Renée Elise Goldsberry as Wickie. Other cast returns are less certain, but things should remain consistent between seasons 3 and 4.

The entire expected cast of Girls5eva season 4 includes:

Girls5eva Season 4 Story

What Happens Next For The Girls In The Band?

Season 3 was a rollercoaster ride of emotions for the members of Girls5eva, but it ultimately ended in a cliffhanger that practically demands a season 4. After their self-financed tour was derailed again and again, Wickie made the bold move of booking the band at Radio City Music Hall and putting them on the hook for half a million dollars if they couldn't sell out the venue. Though they did eventually find a way to recoup the money, it wasn't quite the triumphant return they had all hoped for.

Dawn finally had her baby and was pulled into domestic life and away from the demanding world of music and the spotlight. But just as things seemed to be slowing down, Wickie's song suddenly goes viral which gets her a lucrative offer from Nance Trace. She refused the offer unless the entire group was involved, and Trace eventually agreed. This left Wickie with a tough choice and put the girls in the band in a bit of an emotional bind. Girls5eva season 4 will need to immediately address what happens next, especially since it will likely put a strain on their relationship.
