9 to 5 has unfortunately timed out.
The original 1980s comedy starred Jane Fonda, Dolly Parton, and Lily Tomlin as three secretaries who decide to take revenge on their boss by abducting him and running the business without him.
Dolly Parton dropped the news on Tuesday evening that the sequel was no longer moving forward. She told ET, “Well, actually I think we dropped that whole idea. I don’t think we’re going to do the sequel. We never could get the script where it was enough different than the first one, and that one turned out so good.”
Parton continued, the trio is still “thinking we might do a completely different thing together.”
News of the remake was revealed by Parton in 2018 ABC’s Nightlight. “All these years, we’ve talked about doing a sequel…it never made any real sense until just recently.”
If you want to see more of the trio together you can watch Fonda and Tomlin in Netflix’s Grace and Frankie, which has been airing since 2015.
