Netflixhas become the new home of Girls5Eva, an Emmy-nominated show from Meredith Scardino that was previously cancelled at Peacock.

The unexpected move arrives alongside the announcement that Girls5Eva has been renewed for a third season. It will now debut exclusively onNetflixwhile the first two seasons will be available to stream on both Peacock and the former’s streaming platform. According toTHRsources, the musical-comedy has struggled to carve out an audience for itself and the hope is that it will find one at Netflix.

Girls5Eva tells the story of a 90s one-hit wonder girl group that gets an unexpected new shot at fame when a young rapper samples their song. This is not the first time Netflix has picked up a series from another platform – most notably, acquiring the first three seasons of Cobra Kai from YouTube in 2020.

“Our deepest thanks to Peacock for bringing Girls5eva to life and supporting us creatively at every turn since the first pitch. And we are endlessly grateful to our partners at NBCU for their boundless commitment,” said executive producers Scardino, Fey Richmond and Carlock in a joint statement.

“Today, we are thrilled to announce that our reunited girl group will be re-reunited at Netflix. We are so thankful to everyone at the streamer who fell in love with our music-filled comedy. We cannot wait to introduce Dawn, Wickie, Summer and Gloria to the global Netflix audience. Well, not fully introduce, if you look closely, Girls5eva can be seen in the background of the Woodstock ’99 documentary setting a porta potty on fire.”
