Praise Miley Cyrus. The "Wrecking Ball" singer is responsible for one of our new favorite shows, Grace and Frankie, being renewed. Well, that's according to the Netflix show's co-creator Marta Kauffman.

"Let me say, it's so awesome to do a show on Netflix," Kauffman said at a FYC event in Los Angeles. "Because two and a half weeks after we launched, Miley Cyrus does a tweet about your show, and they call and say, 'We'd like to do a season two.' So yes, there is a season two. We have Ted [Sarandos] and Miley to thank."

See? Praise Miley Cyrus. Her exact tweet, which is exactly what you'd expect Miley Cyrus to tweet in regards to Grace and Frankie, below.

Grace and Frankie stars Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin as lifelong frenemies who unexpectedly find themselves in the same boat when their husbands, law partners played by Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston, announce they are leaving them for each other. The cast also includes June Diane Raphael, Ethan Embry, Brooklyn Decker and Baron Vaughn. Guest stars in the first season included Ernie Hudson, Craig T. Nelson, Geoff Stults, Christine Lahti, Joe Morton and Mary Kay Place.

The first season ended with Sol (Waterston) and Robert (Sheen) working on their vows for their upcoming wedding. When Sol and Frankie (Tomlin) reunited to go through their belongings in the house they once shared, well, old feelings come alive. It ended on a bit of a cliffhanger for Sol and Robert, but with Frankie and Grace (Fonda) in solid place of friendship.

Season two is set to premiere in 2016.
