Disney has confirmed that all episodes of The Golden Girls will arrive on its streaming service, Disney Plus, by the summer.

The company confirmed the news during a press conference ahead of its massive content drop on 23 February, which will see 276 films and a number of well-known TV series arrive on the platform all at once.

While The Golden Girls wasn’t included as part of the new content package, which is called Star, Disney did confirm that the series was slated for a release on the streaming service soon.

The Golden Girls ran from 1985 to 1992, and focused on the exploits of four older women (Beatrice Arthur, Betty White, Rue McClanahan, and Estelle Getty) who share a home in Miami.
