Jane Fonda confirms '9 to 5' sequel with original stars Dolly Parton and Lily Tomlin

Jane Fonda confirmed that a long-awaited sequel to the hit 1980 comedy '9 to 5' is happening with the original cast

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.
