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.

For all those longing to get back to the daily grind, Dolly Parton has some good news.

The “Islands in the Stream” singer has hinted that the sequel to her famed flick, 9 to 5 is getting a sequel — 39 years after the original came out.

Parton wrote and performed the theme song for the movie in which she, Jane Fonda, and Lily Tomlin starred as three working women dealing with workplace issues such as awful bosses and sexual harassment.

The trio — who have remained friends — will all be returning for the sequel which, according to Parton, will begin production in a few months.

“We’ve got two scripts and we’re waiting for the last rewrite,” the 73-year-old told HLN. “So as soon as we all sign off on that, I’d say in the next few months we’ll be in production.”

What a way to make a living!
