The longest-running original series on Netflix is coming to an end. Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin have played \u201cGrace and Frankie\u201d for seven seasons, telling raunchy and honest stories of older women.\xa0After co-creating \u201cFriends,\u201d Marta Kauffman thought up the Netflix hit \u201cGrace and Frankie,\u201d which made it to an unheard-of 94 episodes. While Netflix has been offering a high volume of shows, only to drop many scripted series after a couple of seasons,\xa0 Kauffman is not surprised that the big-volume approach has led to problems.\xa0\u201cWe\u2019re going to do a little bit of everything in the hopes they\u2019ll be a niche audience for every show,\u201d Kauffman says. \u201cAnd there isn\u2019t a niche audience for every single show.\u201d
