A Modern-Day ‘Golden Girls’ Is In The Works

The new series is set to highlight the lives of four funny, independent women who of course are over a certain age.  We already know two of the actresses. 

If you want to relive the glory days of "The Golden Girls" grab some desert, a wicker chair, and get comfortable.  According to actress-comedian Jane Lynch, a show that could be described as "'Golden Girls' for today" is on the way to Netflix.  The show includes four witty women living out their lives together. 

According to the TODAY show- Lynch also added, "I pitched a show to Netflix and they bought it, so that’s nice.  I don’t even know if I can talk about it, but I’ll tell you it’s with Cyndi Lauper, so there.  We’re our age, which you know, I’m almost 60 and (Cyndi is) 65, and we’re looking for our next act without having husbands or children," she said of the plot. " And there will be two other folks in it who haven’t been cast yet.  So it’s kind of a ‘Golden Girls’ for today."  I can tell you, I am so excited to see who else is cast.  I think personally they need to cast Betty White as the "Sophia" version of the show.  That would make this even better!
