Lily Tomlin knows that a remake of the 1980 comedy classic 9 to 5 would be tricky. Particularly since the world she, Jane Fonda and Dolly Parton parodied has changed so much. And that’s why a sequel never happened.
“We had one official crack at the script,” Tomlin said in a People interview. “The draft just didn’t work for us. We couldn’t really see the work world today [in the pages]. People work from home. They take gig work. They don’t even know their boss. They’re at home!”
