9 To 5 fans: you’ll want to hear this! Country icon Dolly Parton might be reuniting with her old friends Lily Tomlin & Jane Fonda in the upcoming seventh and final season of Grace and Frankie.

Speaking to Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager on TODAY with Hoda & Jenna on Monday (January 25), Lily Tomlin hinted at the possibility of Parton appearing during the last season of her Netflix comedy series, which returns to later this summer.

“Well, we’re always hoping that will happen. We’ve got a great role for her this time,” Tomlin shared in her interview. “I think she will do it. I’m just hoping she will. And we hope she can do it and we think she can do it by remote.”

However, nothing has been set in stone or officially locked in yet, partly due to the “Jolene” singer’s tight schedule revolving around music, doing philanthropic work, and funding the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.

“She’s unbelievably busy,” Tomlin said of the big-hearted country star. “She’s always writing books or writing songs or doing something for people or helping people in Tennessee totally.”

Parton, Tomlin and Fonda previously starred as co-workers in the beloved 1980 movie, 9 To 5. The comedy film also featured one of Parton’s signature and biggest songs to date, “9 To 5.”

Fingers-crossed Parton does indeed make a special appearance on Grace and Frankie with her longtime friends for old times sake!
