#SXSW22: ‘Girls5Eva’ Cast at Peacock Playground and Panel
The cast of Peacock’s acclaimed comedy series Girls5Eva got in on the SXSW Festival action. Fans got a first look at the upcoming Season 2. It was announced that the second season will premiere on May 5, 2022.
Girls5Eva is a musical comedy that tells the story of four women who were part of a girl group that was popular in the year 2000. After achieving one-hit-wonder status, they are all dissatisfied with their lives, which prompts them to reunite to try to recreate their brief success.
The cast of the series, including Busy Philipps, Sara Bareilles, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Paula Pell, Andrew Rannells, and showrunner Meredith Scardino, stopped by SXSW’s Peacock playground. They had the opportunity to re-create the iconic music video from the series.
The cast and creators also led a panel at the SXSW Festival on March 12, 2022. They shared a first-look clip of the upcoming season, and announced the release date for Season 2. The first season of the show had all of the episodes released at once. For Season 2, the first three episodes will be released at once, followed by a weekly episode release.
Said showrunner Meredith Scardino said in a statement, “We are so excited to share the next chapter in Dawn, Wickie, Gloria, and Summer’s journey as they enter ‘Album Mode’ and embark on making their first studio album on their own terms.”
