Dolly Parton has been tapped to guest-star on the upcoming last season of Grace And Frankie, Netflix tweeted Friday.
In doing so she will finally treat the fans to a long-awaited reunion with the show's leading ladies Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin.
Lily, 82, Jane, 83, and Dolly, 75, starred in the iconic 1980 comedy 9 To 5 about secretaries getting back at their 'sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot' boss.

Grace And Frankie, whose co-creator Marta Kauffman also helped create Friends, is coming up on its seventh season.
Jane and Lily star as diametrically opposite women - an elegant martini-swilling martinet and a relaxed New Age type - who wind up living together.
They find themselves having to stay in the same house after their husbands (Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston) leave them for each other.
While Dolly's role has not been disclosed she follows a top-flight array of guest stars including Lisa Kudrow, Talia Shire, Elliot Gould, Sam Elliot and Mary Steenburgen.

Written and directed by Colin Higgins, 9 To 5 featured a beloved theme song by Dolly and became a runaway hit raking in north of $100 million at the box office.
Jane, whose company IPC Films produced the picture, was the one who brought her two co-leads aboard marking Dolly's feature film debut.
During an onstage interview for the "BFI Jane recalled that the film was meant to be a 'dark comedy' until she saw Lily perform onstage.
She 'was just stunned by her brilliance' and 'said to myself: "I don't wanna make a movie about secretaries unless Lily Tomlin is in it."'
