PUBLISHED JUL 26, 2018

Nearly forty years ago, Jane Fonda, Dolly Parton and Lily Tomlin were tackling sexual harassment and other issues related to the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements in '9 to 5'. On Wednesday, Fonda announced that she's planning to executive produce a sequel with the iconic trio on the big screen following their highly-publicized on-stage reunion at the Emmys last year. They used their speech to take a dig at President Donald Trump.
