All Your Must-Know Tuesday TV News:

Grace and Frankie Are Young at Heart

They’re back at it again! Netflix has released the Season 5 trailer for arguably one of the best buddy comedies around — Grace and Frankie. Joining stars Jane Fonda (Grace) and Lily Tomlin (Frankie) this season are guest stars RuPaul and Nicole Richie, among others. By the looks of the trailer, “things get better with age” certainly applies to this spunky duo whose motto now appears to be “f**k it.” While their kids worry about them getting older, Grace and Frankie are approaching life with fresh perspective. The show returns January 18 on Netflix.

Luke Wilson Fulfills a Stargirl Prophecy

DC’s next series, Stargirl, has cast another big name — Deadline reveals that Luke Wilson has signed on as Pat Dugan, a “mechanic-turned-superhero” who controls a 15-foot robot he invented named Stripe. Wilson joins previously announced cast members Lou Ferrigno Jr., Brian Stapf, Henry Thomas, and Anjelika Washington.

In a statement, Stargirl creator and showrunner Geoff Johns revealed that he had Wilson in mind when writing the comics. “When I first moved to Los Angeles in 1996 and saw Bottle Rocket, I became a huge fan and admirer of Luke’s,” Johns said. “And I literally wrote this part for Luke, hoping that someday and somehow he’d play Pat Dugan. I only envisioned him.”
