Firefly Lane is coming to Netflix next month and it’s going to be our next binge watch

Melissa Carton

So excited for this!

With all of us spending more time indoors these days due to lockdown restrictions, new shows are a must.

If you’ve already binge watched your way through The Queen’s Gambit and Bridgerton then Firefly Lane is the next show that you need to put on your ‘to watch’ list as it looks like it’s going to be our newest addiction.

Firefly Lane follows the friendship of Tully and Kate who meet as young girls on Firefly Lane and become inseparable best friends through 30 years of ups and downs.

The series begins in the mid-1970s and follows the coming of age story that spans three decades.

Based on the bestselling novel by Kristin Hannah the new Netflix series stars Grey’s Anatomy Katherine Heigl and Scrubs Sarah Chalke in the lead roles.

The Firefly Lane book is the first of two books with Fly Away being book number two and could be covered in another season (fingers crossed).

Netflix recently released the teaser trailer and it has us so excited we’re honestly counting down the days.

I don’t know you but we’re getting serious Beaches vibes from this chalk and cheese pair and we love it!

The Firefly Lane book was first released in 2013 so if you can’t wait until February 3 you can always pick up a copy of the novel online and get a sneak peek at what’s to come next month.

Saying that if you want to keep the story a surprise and save yourself from stories you can also binge watch some other feel-good friends forever movies.

We’ve already mentioned Beaches but we would also add Mystic Pizza, Now and Then and Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants to the list as well.

Be warned though you’ll probably need a mega box of tissues on hand so prepare some well in advance.

Firefly Lane premieres February 3 on Netflix.
