Here’s a synopsis of the show: When a one-hit-wonder girl group from the 90’s gets sampled by a young rapper, its members reunite to give their pop star dreams one more shot. They may be grown women balancing spouses, kids, jobs, debt, aging parents, and shoulder pain, but can‘t they also be Girls5eva?

Following news of its cancelation, Busy took to Instagram to react, sharing her disappointment, but also her thanks and gratefulness that it even got to happen.

“well. 2024 sure has been a f–king heartbreak. Some more painful than others, tbh,” she captioned a post. “I am forever grateful for this incredible show and these girls that became my sisters5eva, for Netflix giving us a chance to sing together a little bit longer and for everyone at Universal and Peacock who rooted so hard for our show. And of course the genius of Meredith and Jeff and Eric and my patron saint Tina Fey. I honestly don’t know how or what i would be without this show and the endless joy it brought me in the darkest time of my life. i really really love what i do. and sometimes it feels almost impossible. anyway, isn’t that just like everything good in life? love you 5eva❤️”
