Will the Movie the Good Girl Aire on Television Again

In tardily May, word began circulating that NBC had unofficially signed off on a plan to renew chimera dramedy Proficient Girls for a shortened fifth and final season, ane that would give fans something that has become increasingly elusive in the circulate-TV landscape: closure. All three of the series' leading ladies — Christina Hendricks, Mae Whitman and Retta — agreed to take pay cuts to return for a reduced viii-episode swan song. Production was tentatively set up to brainstorm in Spring 2022. It was, for all intents and purposes, a washed bargain.

And notwithstanding, one month after, Good Girls was cancelled. Every bit is often the case, the culprit was said to be money. "[We] very much wanted to bring Good Girls dorsum for one more than season to shut out the story," an NBC insider best-selling at the time, "only unfortunately we were unable to make the financials work."

Multiple sources continued to NBC, Universal Television receiver and the show, still, maintain that the reasons behind Skilful Girls' unceremonious termination extend across mere dollars and cents. Co-ordinate to one Expert Girls insider who requested anonymity, the series' seemingly clear path to renewal striking a major snag in mid-June when negotiations with co-star Manny Montana — who plays fan favorite gang member-turned-Beth-burdensome-antihero Rio — hit a wall. At event: Coin and scheduling.

Some began speculating that Montana's strained working relationship with on-over again/off-over again scene partner Christina Hendricks (who plays Beth) may have been a factor, making the player less willing to take the kind of financial hitting NBC was request of him.

A rep for Montana declined to comment for this story, while a spokesperson for Hendricks did not respond to TVLine's numerous requests for annotate.

Bad blood between Hendricks and Montana had been something of an open secret in Hollywood circles. Even fans take long speculated — based on the pair's frosty public statements well-nigh 1 another over the years — that in that location was no dearest lost betwixt the duo.

In a 2020 interview with The Full Celebrity Show podcast, Montana described his working relationship with Hendricks as follows: "We come in, do our chore, and so go home. It's very business-like."

When asked what it is similar shooting the steamy Beth/Rio scenes, Hendricks told Medium in 2019, "He'southward a great actor and we have great chemical science working together and… He's just… Information technology's just a very sort of respectful work. You know, it's funny, because I know people beloved [Beth and Rio]. We, of course… love that. It'south exciting and stuff. Simply information technology's not as… information technology's much more professional than anyone would remember."

The following year, during a Skilful Girls-themed Q&A at 92nd Street Y, Hendricks revealed that Montana refuses to address her past her actual proper name while on set. "Manny calls [me]…Chris," she sighed. "No one in my life calls me Chris. It's not my proper name. I think it's totally stupid. And he's never taken the take chances to realize that I hate it. Information technology'due south really weird." (You can spotter the commutation at the 19:xx marker.)

Creatively speaking, a final flavour sans Montana was seen every bit a sizable, albeit non insurmountable, obstacle. But Universal Goggle box ultimately decided to but pull the plug. The studio'southward willingness to forego a fifth and final season of a show called Good Girls, due to the absence of a supporting male person character, struck some as ironic. And suspicious.

"They were looking for an excuse to cut allurement," posits ane source.

Reps for NBC and Universal Television declined to comment for this story, just one company insider now concedes to TVLine that "creative issues" did indeed factor into the studio'south decision not to move forward with a 5th season.

In the immediate aftermath of the prove's demise, a "deplorable and confused" Whitman took to social media to lament the counterfoil, and besides pay tribute to "my girls" Hendricks and Retta. "Love my pals on this cast and then much," she added. "It was such a joy being Annie and I'm forever grateful to you lot for supporting us. [O]Chiliad me go weep now."

Adept Girls' two-hour series finale is prepare to air July 22 on NBC.
