Word to the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot bosses of the world: The women of 9 to 5 are coming back.

Actress Jane Fonda confirmed on Wednesday that she and co-stars Dolly Parton and Lily Tomlin are all planning to star in a sequel to 9 to 5, the 1980 comedy in which they portrayed three working women who fight back against the chauvinism, misogyny and harassment in their office.

My role is as an executive producer, and Im working with the writers, with Lily, and talking to the writers, Fonda told reporters at a Television Critics Association event in Los Angeles on Wednesday. Right now, Dolly, Lily and I are all intending to be in it.

In February, Deadline reported that 20th Century Fox was in the early stages of rebooting 9 to 5 for a modern audience. At the time, the new version was said to follow three young women facing off against their male higher-ups, with Fonda, Parton and Tomlin offering their advice on how to get even.

The studio was reportedly requesting that Rashida Jones collaborate with Patricia Resnick, writer of the original screenplay, on a script for the sequel.
