Season one of the drama, based on the bestselling novel by Kristin Hannah, premiered in February 2021 and featured Katherine Heigl and Sarah Chalke as lifelong best friends who stuck by each other’s side through thick and thin.

Returning cast members also include Ben Lawson as Johnny Ryan, Ali Skovbye as young Tully, Roan Curtis as young Kate, Yael Yurman as Marah, and Beau Garrett as Cloud.
Joining the series for its final season are India de Beaufort as Charlotte, Greg Germann as Benedict, Jolene Purdy as Justine, and Ignacio Serricchio as Danny.
Series creator Maggie Friedman returns as showrunner and executive producer. Additional executive producers include Heigl, Shawn Williamson, Michael Spiller, and Stephanie Germain.
Friedman, Savannah Dooley, Becky Hartman Edwards, James Ford Jr, Michael Ross, Barbara Johns, Marissa Lee, and Davah Avena are the season two writers. Directors include Sarah Wayne Callies, Vanessa Parise, Michael Spiller, Shannon Kohli, Katina Medina Mora, Monika Mitchell, and Winnifred Jong.
The Plot, Courtesy of Netflix:
Season 1: The greatest love story of all can be between friends. When unlikely duo Tully (Heigl) and Kate (Chalke) meet at age fourteen, they couldn’t be more different. Tully is the brash and bold girl you can’t ignore, while Kate is the mousy shy girl you never notice. But when a tragedy brings them together, they are bonded for life — forever inseparable best friends.
Together they experience thirty years of ups and downs — triumphs and disappointments, heartbreak and joy, and a love triangle that strains their friendship. One goes on to fabulous wealth and fame, the other chooses marriage and motherhood — but through the decades, their bond remains — until it faces the ultimate test.
Season 2: What could possibly have ended the tight-knit thirty-year friendship of Tully and Kate, our “Firefly Lane Girls Forever”? We’ll learn the answer this season – but first – Kate grapples with the painful aftermath of Johnny’s ill-fated trip to Iraq, while Tully faces a lawsuit after walking away from her talk show, and must start her career over from the bottom. This leads her to search for answers about who she is and where she comes from — including a quest to find the father she never met, against the wishes of her secretive hippie mother, Cloud.
In the ’80s, we see Kate and Johnny first fall in love, creating more than a little drama in the newsroom where they work, as Tully’s career rises and she spars (and flirts!) with cocky sportscaster Danny Diaz. She just might have met her match – that is if they can stop arguing for five minutes. While in the ’70s, teenage Kate and Tully struggle to keep their friendship together as Cloud goes to jail for dealing drugs and Tully goes to live with her grandmother, far away from Firefly Lane.
As the girls face the tumult of high school apart, they know the one thing they really need is each other.
