Last month 'Girlfriends' cast member Persia White triggered re-boot chatter after going live on Instagram and announcing she'd just left a meeting with 'Girlfriends' producer Kelsey Grammar [click here if you missed that].
'Girlfriends' lead character Tracee Ellis Ross says it would take a miracle for the reboot to get off the ground...
Tracee tells Vibe
“The cast has always wanted to do it, but I’ll be honest with you, the ship has sailed. I don’t think it’s ever going to happen. I think it would be a miracle.”
“We have a thread of me and the girls and we text all the time; we talk about it, but I think we’re all at different places in our lives and our careers now. I think there was a point 10 years ago and then when they [Girlfriends cast] came on Blackish — we were all game, but we couldn’t get the powers that be to get on board.”
“We’ve tried numerous times as a cast to make it happen, but unfortunately, we don’t own the rights to the show. We are not the producers. We are not Mara Brock Akil, CBS Paramount, or whoever the people are that own the show. Golden, Persia, Jill, Reggie, and I have been game; we’ve all talked about it — but I genuinely don’t think it’s ever going to happen at this point.”
“The truth is, I think we have been broken-hearted in the past, but now we are past being broken-hearted. We’re so happy that the audience still loves the show, and still wants it, but I don’t think it’s ever going to happen.”

And….
Then do another show or a movie together without Mara! If she's not interested in moving forward, then the ladies should create their own space. It would be a pity to lose out on the momentum of what the fans want. We want the ladies together even if it's not in a Girlfriends type capacity. The spirit of that audience is waiting and they need to grab it before it's too late.
Cut the bs. the Stabbed their coworker in the back to get her fired and split her check. I don't gaf if there is no reboot.
I didn't watch it then.
Ain't nobody missin' that show.
Good. One less worthless show about black women from the POV of YT.
I love it, miss it, and would love to see it again.
Promiscuous girlfriends.
The show was wack.
I never liked it either…. Wasn’t my kind of show ne er got the hype 🤷🏽♀️
Ain't gonna happen cause Diana's daughter don't want it to happen
