“The Golden Girls” reimagining brings the beloved concept into 2025, following four vibrant women in their 50s and 60s who find themselves sharing a stunning Miami Beach home. The series maintains the heart and wit of the original while addressing contemporary issues.

Sofia Martinez (Rita Moreno), a sharp-tongued retired judge, owns the house and lives with her daughter, Elena (Eva Longoria), a recently divorced celebrity chef trying to rebuild her life after a public scandal. They’re joined by Rose (Jane Lynch), a quirky tech company retiree from Minnesota whose investment in crypto made and lost her millions, and Blanche (Viola Davis), a distinguished university professor and widow who’s embracing her new chapter in life through dating apps and social media influence.

The show tackles modern issues like online dating, social media presence, ageism in the digital age, and contemporary family dynamics. Elena navigates co-parenting through apps while building her YouTube cooking empire. Rose becomes a TikTok sensation with her unintentionally hilarious takes on modern life. Blanche challenges academic politics while becoming an Instagram inspiration for women over 50, and Sofia dispenses wisdom while trying to understand why her Alexa won’t stop ordering random items.

Their Miami Beach home becomes a hub for both hilarious situations and heartfelt moments. Regular video calls with children and grandchildren, dating app mishaps, viral moments gone wrong, and the challenges of maintaining friendship in an increasingly digital world all feature prominently. The series particularly shines when addressing how these women support each other through life’s modern challenges while maintaining the witty banter and friendship that made the original series iconic.

Each episode balances comedy with touching moments, as these four women prove that friendship, love, and cheesecake are timeless, even if the methods of ordering that cheesecake have changed to food delivery apps. The show honors its predecessor while creating its own identity for a new generation of viewers.
