Our favorite ’90s girl group is back and (not quite) ready to hit the road.
The women ofGirls5evaare primed for their global comeback in a first lookclipfrom season 2 of the hit Peacock series … until one of their OG members finds out she needs a knee replacement.
“They’re not gonna want me to promote their label, post-op from a Hannibal Lecter board. ‘Oh hey, Hoda. I know you booked us to lead a hip-hop yoga class, but what if instead, we just teach America how to drain an incision site?'” Gloria (Paula Pell) remarks from her hospital bed in the clip.
Luckily, her Girls5eva sisters (Sara Bareilles,Busy Philipps, andRenée Elise Goldsberry) are there for moral support.
“Summer, did you stop our Teen Choice duet with Lou Bega when you found out your snake was poisonous?” Wickie (Goldsberry) asks, to which Summer (Philipps) declares: “No, I am profesh.”

“And I definitely didn’t let anyone know when my gallbladder exploded at our live-to-VHS Christmas special,” Wickie adds, as it cuts to a flashback of her hilariously singing through the pain. “Sure, I can’t digest fatty meats now, but you don’t cut and run when you have George Wendt playing Santa. George freaking Wendt!”
Girls5evafollows the eponymous one-hit-wonder ’90s girl group, whose surviving members get a second chance at stardom when an up-and-coming rapper samples their old track. But this time, they have mortgages, marriages, kids, and knee replacements to deal with.
“Season 2 ofGirls5evaanswers the simple question: What would happen ifGirls5evawas renewed for a second season?” showrunner Meredith Scardino says 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.”
