LOS ANGELES — As the fifth-season adventures of “Grace and Frankie ” begin, viewers can rest assured there’s more to come.

Series creator Marta Kauffman and Netflix said Tuesday that the comedy starring Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin has been renewed for season six, due in 2020.

Kauffman said she was hopeful the series would keep going and is grateful to Netflix.

When last seen, mismatched pals Grace and Frankie were fleeing a retirement community to resume life in their oceanfront home — only to find a “sold” sign in front of it.

Tomlin said the new season that’s out Friday on Netflix will top that cliffhanger.
