When The Four Seasons debuted on Netflix in May 2025 as a limited series, fans were captivated by its heartfelt, comedic exploration of lifelong friendship and midlife change. Starring Tina Fey, Steve Carell, Colman Domingo, and an ensemble cast, it quickly became a hit, accumulating 39 million hours in the first half of 2025 on Netflix, according to its latest engagement report.

Despite being envisioned as a limited series, the Netflix show has been renewed for a second season. The unexpected renewal wasn’t just born of fan enthusiasm, but reflects a direct tie to the show’s emotional core.

Originally pitched as a self-contained, eight-episode limited series, The Four Seasons was always meant to offer a complete arc until reality intervened. Ending with the aftermath of Steve Carell’s Nick’s death,...

"Reno 911!" was a satirical take on "Cops," the popular reality docuseries following real cops in the line of duty, making arrests and chasing "bad guys." Airing originally on Comedy Central from 2003 to 2009, "Reno 911!" took the bumbling cop trope to its logical conclusion, portraying the officers of the fictional Reno Sheriff's Department as incompetent stooges. The show existed within the peak of crude, offensive comedy that dominated the 2000s; it featured politically incorrect skits that dealt with race, gender, sex work, and mental illness. Though much of the depiction of mental illness did not age well, a majority of the comedy is strangely still funny. The comedy of "Reno" still elicits chuckles by today's standards due to society's evolved perception of police. After about 15 years of police brutality and misconduct cases, it feels nice to laugh at ineffective or downright problematic police work in a low-stakes way via the cast's antics.

Colman Domingo had a bit of a full circle moment in his acting career Tuesday, celebrating his second Emmy nomination on the set of the series for which he earned his first.

The actor was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series at the 77th Emmy Awards for his role as Danny in Netflix’s The Four Seasons. He was previously nominated (and won) for his guest role in Season 2 of HBO’s Euphoria.

Speaking with Deadline before starting his work day on the set of the third season, Domingo said: “Maybe it’s a good luck charm, being here with my cast from Euphoria.“

The actor remained tight-lipped about Season 3 details, but he did say “we’re creating some epic story, and I’m having a great time.”

'Tis the day of the Emmys and all through the house, surprises are stirring and snubs are inspiring grouse. While fans of Hacks, Severance, and The White Lotus had plenty to cheer about, Squid Game, The Handmaid's Tale and The Voice are among the high-profile shows that went overlooked by voters. On the other hand, Uzo Aduba and Colman Domingo pulled off surprise victories that the odds didn't see coming.

We rounded up this morning's biggest snubs and surprises from the 2025 Emmy nominations.

Snub: Selena Gomez and Steve Martin, Only Murders in the Building (Best Comedy Actress/Best Comedy Actor)

Looks like Martin Short will be representing the podcasting sleuths solo at this year's Emmys. Both of his Only Murders in the Building costars fell short in ultra-close battles for their respective categories. It would have been Gomez's second consecutive nomination for the series; she also missed out on...

Exclusive: Jack Henry Robbins is teaming with 20th Television to develop Nepo Baby, a new comedy series for Hulu, based on his viral character.

In the show created by Robbins, the world’s least successful nepo baby, Jack Henry Robbins, attempts to make it big and grow up all on his own no matter what it takes (with help from his famous parents).

Robbins based it on his “nepo baby” alter ego, which was made famous on social media via a series of viral videos, as well as through last year’s much circulated New York Times feature story, “His Parents Are Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins. That’s the Joke.”

Sam Zvibleman (Pen15) is on board to direct and will exec produce alongside Peter Principato, Bryan Walsh, and Casey Neumeier at Artists First.

For Robbins, Nepo Baby comes on the heels of his directorial debut, VHYes, which is Certified...

FX has picked up the new workplace comedy pilot Movers, from creators and executive producers Robert Ben Garant and Cathy Shim. Garant co-created Comedy Central’s Reno 911!, in which Shim also starred. That mockumentary’s executive producers, Stacey Sher and Peter Principato, will EP the pilot with Jonny Shipes (Bmf: The Rise and Fall of a Hip-Hop Drug Empire).

Garant and Shim will also star in the 20th Television-produced project alongside Maz Jobrani (Friday After Next), Darius Homayoun (Sex/Life), Tanael “Tj” Joachim, Manny Montana (Ironheart) and WWE’s Becky Lynch (real name Rebecca Quin) co-starring.

Movers is an improvised workplace comedy revolving around the erratic and codependent lives of a crew of movers.

Reno 911! is a mockumentary comedy series that parodies law enforcement and premiered on Comedy Central in 2003. Garant co-created the series alongside Thomas Lennon and Kerri Kenney-Silver.

Garant most recently co-produced the TruTV Pilot Seoul Hunters,...

It's safe to say it wasn't always sunny behind the scenes of a certain beloved sitcom.

In her new book, It’s (Almost) Always Sunny in Philadelphia: How Three Friends Spent $200 to Create the Longest-Running Live-Action Sitcom in History and Help Build a Network, Gold Derby contributor Kim Potts traces the strange but true history of the show as it prepares to celebrate its 20th anniversary.

The brainchild of Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day, and Glenn Howerton (collectively known as Rcg), It’s Always Sunny, which premiered on FX on Aug. 4, 2005, introduced "The Gang," a gaggle of self-centered miscreants running a South Philly dive bar. Potts recounts the low-budget origins of the show, how Rcg joined together to craft the pilot and assemble the team, and, in the exclusive excerpt below, how its most famous cast member, Danny DeVito, wasn't quite welcomed with open arms when he joined in the second season.

In the arts, it’s always fascinating to look at the phenomenon of the “scene” — a cluster of creative talents emerging in one place, at one particular time, before shooting off to success on their own separate trajectories.

In 2000s New York alone, you saw multiple examples between music and film. On the music side, you had the convergence of indie artists like The Strokes, Interpol, and The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, as illustrated in the 2017 book and sequent 2022 documentary Meet Me in the Bathroom. At the same time, on the film side, you saw the rise of artists like Noah Baumbach and Darren Aronofsky who remain some of today’s most prominent. In the world of comedy, there have been many scenes, but one of the most interesting would have to be the group of writer-performers emerging from New York University in the late 1980s who came to be known as The State.

Some of Netflix’s recent content has precipitated a prolonged season of discontent. The Four Seasons doesn’t diminish the din of mediocrity that threatens to drown the ones that make a difference.

This one most assuredly doesn’t amount to much except a mound of flat jokes melted to the ground by their own vacuousness, about relationships with some solid acting but no plotting-heft to back up the actors. In the absence of a clear gameplan The Four Seasons moves ahead ostensibly on its own volition.

The relationship of the friends among a stack of smug humour feels like a stand-up joke which only the comedian on stage is into. The audience laughs out of politeness. Or maybe complacency.

When we first meet the six lifelong friends now in their 50s (hence the mid-life crisis) we can see the pastiche of camaraderie coming apart at the seams, when Nick...

The Four Seasons made an immediate impression when it premiered on Netflix this May. Co-created by Tina Fey, the series rebooted the 1981 rom-com movie of the same name, taking some creative liberties with the original story. One of the most significant departures was the death of Nick (played by Steve Carell) in the penultimate episode. Nick is a pivotal character whose divorce from his wife, Anne, serves as the catalyst that fractures the group dynamic among the six longtime friends. That plot turn was originally designed to serve as a self-contained story, as the series was first conceived as a limited run. But with the show’s popularity prompting a renewal, fans have begun to wonder if, perhaps, Carell’s Nick will return for Season 2, and now Fey has addressed those concerns.

Carell is an amazing performer whose charm can easily elevate a show, and the case was no different with The Four Seasons.

When I sat down for lunch in Bryant Park, Manhattan, with “The Four Seasons” star Marco Calvani, I asked him whether anyone had recognized him on the street during the press tour for the Netflix series.

“I am learning to enjoy this time until it lasts. Those billboards on Santa Monica Boulevard, in three months, there will be another face. Sunset Boulevard, we took over, everywhere, my big, giant face. I didn’t know any of this before, so I can’t say I was afraid, but I didn’t know what to expect. Yesterday, I was around New York, and 10 people in one hour on the streets [stopped me]. I’m actually more shocked by the fact that people actually watched it, many different people of different ages and looks. It’s another opportunity to be nice to people,” he said of the viral comedy series from Tina Fey, Lang Fisher,...

When you’re able to launch into a successful career in comedy straight out of college, landing a cherished cult sketch series on MTV and continuing on in hit shows like “Reno 911!,” it’s easy to become jaded into thinking you have all the answers. However, in reflecting on these experiences during the latest episode of “What No One Tells You,” Kerri Kenney-Silver admitted that many of her accomplishments have come from keeping up with changing trends.

“When we did the pilot for ‘Reno 911!’, it was the year 2000,” she said. “Which sounds like a sci-fi movie now, but, things were different. Things were different in comedy, things were different in the world.”

She added, “We just did our most recent ‘Reno’ movie two years ago, so it’s a 25 year span of time. While the characters have remained the same, the subject matter has changed, and also the pace of comedy is changing.

Emmy winner Tina Fey has addressed the possibility of Steve Carell’s return in the upcoming second season of The Four Seasons. In addition to playing one of the Netflix show’s lead characters, Fey also took on multiple roles behind-the-scenes, including serving as its co-creator, co-writer, and co-showrunner.

During the penultimate episode of The Four Seasons Season 1, Carell’s character Nick surprisingly died in a car accident while he was on a New Year’s Eve ski vacation with his girlfriend and her friends, whom he had trouble connecting with due to their age gap. In a recent interview with Deadline, when asked if Fey has any plans to bring back Carell in potential flashback sequences, she admitted that she doesn’t really know at the moment. “I couldn’t possibly say. We have our format. I mean, of the many mistakes I’ve made in my career, killing...

With Netflix comedy series The Four Seasons, co-creator and star Tina Fey skewers the intricate dynamics of romantic partnership, taking us on a series of vacations with four couples in a longtime friend group. Based on Alan Alda’s 1981 film in which he starred with Carol Burnett, Fey and co-creators Tracey Wigfield and Lang Fisher’s reimagining tracks the fallout among the friends when Steve Carell’s character Nick leaves his wife Anne (Kerri Kenney) and finds love with the much younger Ginny (Erika Henningson). Fey’s character Kate and her husband Jack (Will Forte) absorb the seismic impact, along with Colman Domingo’s Danny and husband Claude (Marco Calvani). With Season 2 on the way, Fey discusses the hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking reality explored by the show, if Steve Carell could appear in a flashback, and how she sees comedy evolving in the industry.

Deadline: I have to tell you...

Exclusive: UTA has signed playwright, director, and actor Marco Calvani for representation in all areas.

Calvani recently made his U.S. acting debut playing Claude in the Netflix dramedy The Four Seasons. From creators Tina Fey, Lang Fisher and Tracy Wigfield, the show follows a group of six friends heading on a vacation together when Nick (Steve Carell) drops the bomb that he wants to leave his wife, Anne (Kerri Kenney-Silver). From there, the three couples — one split up — navigate the new dynamic of splitting time between Nick and Anne while the other two pairs deal with their own struggles that come with being together for a long time. Season 2 of the series begins production later this year.

Calvani’s signing follows his first feature film, High Tide, which he wrote, directed, and produced. The film premiered last year at SXSW and was released theatrically last March, receiving a nomination...

“Just one more time,” says Tina Fey. “It was time for me to go back into something just one more time, before they put me in the ground.”

With a string of successes from 30 Rock, Mean Girls, Saturday Night Live to Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, turns out it was a 40-year-old movie that inspired the award-winning triple threat to take another creative swing.

“I’ve always loved the movie since I was 11 years old,” Fey tells Gold Derby of the 1981 feature The Four Seasons. As luck would have it, the film was made for Universal Studios, where she happens to have an overall deal. More crucially, she also secured the blessing of Alan Alda, who wrote and directed the original, and has a cameo in Fey’s limited series adaptation for Netflix. “I think he's delighted that this movie he made 40 years ago is still speaking to people in these two different ways,...

Back in the 1990s, sketch comedy was mostly dominated by "Saturday Night Live." After a rough patch in the 1980s, the series rose to prominence again thanks to the talents of "Wayne's World" stars Mike Myers and Dana Carvey, Chris Farley, Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell, Cheri Oteri, Molly Shannon, and more. But during this time, there were also a series of worthy, alternative sketch comedy competitors that offered a nice change of pace from the mainstream network laughs of "SNL."

From the delightfully Canadian comedy of "Kids in the Hall," to the diverse hilarity of "In Living Color," the short-lived but brilliant "The Dana Carvey Show," to the madness of "Upright Citizens Brigade," there was a sketch comedy show for everyone. But perhaps the series that would go on to have the biggest impact in pop culture's future was MTV's "The State," named after the comedy troupe of the same name.

Building your professional toolkit is not an overnight task. For actress/writer/comedienne Kerri Kenney-Silver, even though she continues to adapt with more dramatic work like “The Four Seasons,” she still holds true to what she learned when pursuing sketch comedy in college: Know how to do it all.

Speaking to IndieWire’s Future of Filmmaking for the latest episode of “What No One Tells You,” Kenney-Silver said of her early years in comedy, “You are doing everything. You are the prop master. You are doing your own makeup. You’re slapping on wigs. You’ve got Ziplocs full of mustaches.”

The sketch group Kenney-Silver joined at New York University would go on to become the beloved comedy troupe The State, which also featured David Wain, Joe Lo Truglio, Thomas Lennon, Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter, and Ken Marino. When they were just starting out in 1992, every aspect of their performances were self-curated.

After years of making audiences laugh with her sharp comedic timing, Kerri Kenney-Silver wasn’t looking for reinvention — but it found her anyway. In The Four Seasons, the ensemble drama inspired by the 1981 Alan Alda film, Kenney-Silver steps into the unexpected role of Anne, a soft-spoken woman navigating change in midlife. Best known for her offbeat characters on shows like Reno 911!, the actor found herself charting new emotional territory — and, in the process, experiencing a profound shift both on screen and off.

“It's any actor's dream to get to play, to have a full experience, so to speak,” Kenney-Silver says, reflecting on Anne’s evolution over the show’s debut season. “You meet her in one place in her life where she thinks her bed is made … she's going to just sort of finish out her life for better or for worse, but mostly for better in her eyes.

When actress Mira Sorvino thinks about what and who helped her launch her career, she credits Tribeca Festival co-founder Jane Rosenthal for giving her that break.

“Jane Rosenthal actually gave me my first job in the industry. It started off being a volunteer position — I was an intern at Tribeca Productions, reading scripts. Then it turned into a paid position as a reader after they ended up liking my coverage. I did that for two years, and during that time I actually read the script Amongst Friends that ended up being the first feature that I ever starred in. We went to Sundance and that launched my career,” the actress recalled. “Tribeca helped me start my career, and it’s always given a hand up to young artists and people who had the gumption to just go for it.”

So supporting the 10th anniversary of the Through Her Lens — a...

The MTV sketch comedy show The State ran for a mere 24 episodes between January 1994 and August 1995. And if you weren’t a teenager or young adult during that narrow window of time, odds are high you’ve never even heard of it. But the show left an enormous cultural footprint and launched the careers of some of the greatest comedic minds working today, including Thomas Lennon, Michael Showalter, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Ken Marino, David Wain, Ben Garant, and Kevin Allison, and ultimately led to Wet Hot American Summer, Reno 911!, Children’s Hospital,...

Based on the 1981 film by Alan Alda and starring an ensemble cast led by Steve Carrell, Tina Fey, Will Forte, Colman Domingo, Marco Calvani, and Kerri Kenney-Silver, the new series The Four Seasons was a hit when it debuted on Netflix in May 2025. Now, the show has emerged as a legitimate Emmy contender, hailed for its excellent cast and often hilarious yet always poignant writing.

At the 2025 Atx TV Festival, The Four Seasons co-creator and showrunner Lang Fisher (Never Have I Ever) and actress Kerri Kenney-Silver (Reno 911!) had a conversation about the show, its unexpected success in light of its second season renewal, and why they think a series like this is so refreshing in the modern television landscape.

The Four Seasons Panel Recap

Much of the praise that fans have showered upon The Four Seasons is thanks to it being an earnest comedy-drama made by and for adults.

Steve Carell is arguably famous for his comedic roles and for portraying Michael Scott for seven seasons on the U.S. version of The Office. However, the actor has further expanded his career with different roles and proven his acting skills in other genres, including drama.

His latest release, Mountainhead, is a drama film by Succession creator Jesse Armstrong. The film, which follows four friends reuniting at a getaway retreat during an international crisis, is the second release from Carell after The Four Seasons. Following the film's release on Max on May 31, Carell seems to have a new streaming hit, as Mountainhead debuted in second place in the global charts, per FlixPatrol.

Shortly after its release on the platform, the movie entered the charts in different territories around the world and reached the No. 2 spot in most of them. In its second day,Mountainhead reached the No. 1 spot in 22 countries,...

To some, Kerri Kenney-Silver might seem like she has nothing left to prove. She’s a founding member of the sketch group The State, prolific in comedy projects of all kinds (including the long-running Reno 911!), and still busy midway through her 50s. But getting cast as Anne in The Four Seasons, then receiving multiple scripts, and finally being called to set to film still didn’t make her feel entirely secure about joining the production.

At a Four Seasons panel on the first day of the Atx TV Festival, Kenney-Silver admitted that when she first arrived at her trailer, she didn’t unpack. Because she assumed she’d get fired right away, she tried to spare her future self the pain of having to gather up her personal items, like photos of her son, and depart in shame. Instead, Kenney-Silver has become the show’s breakout star — perhaps because, as she told the panel audience,...

In “The Four Seasons,” three couples take four very eventful joint vacations to incredibly scenic places, including an island getaway and a ski trip.

Series co-creator and star Tina Fey explained to Tudum why most of the series takes place in New York State: “New York is a beautiful and magical state. It’s a really, really beautiful place to get these four seasons.”

The series, a remake of the 1981 film of the same name, stars Tina Fey as Kate, Will Forte as Jack, Steve Carell as Nick, Kerri Kenney-Silver as Anne, Colman Domingo as Danny, Marco Calvani as Claude and Erika Henningsen as Ginny.

Here’s where the eight episodes were filmed:

The holiday weekend is here, and that means it’s the perfect time to tap into a new series for a binge-watch. Naturally, Netflix has plenty of new offerings in May for folks looking for something new to stream. From Tina Fey’s starry new limited series Dramedy to an addictive Korean competition show, one of the sweetest romances on streaming and the final season of one of Netflix’s longest-running and most beloved animated series. And that’s not even all. Below you’ll find this month’s full curated list of the best new shows streaming on Netflix right now.

Tina Fey’s collaborations with Netflix have always been a recipe for success, and “The Four Seasons” might be her most grounded series yet. The eight-episode tour...

During the Cannes Film Festival, a melting pot of worldly accents can be heard gossiping at beach clubs, waiting on movie queues and shouting at wild afterparties — but one rang most excited, the gleeful Italian cadence of Marco Calvani.

The longtime European playwright unexpectedly landed a role in Tina Fey’s Netflix summer hit “The Four Seasons,” and took a victory lap in the South of France where he was on the ground packaging and selling his next feature directorial effort.

Calvani — who plays husband to Colman Domingo and occasional sixth wheel in a friend group that includes Tina Fey, Steve Carell, Will Forte and Kerri Kenney — shines as the deeply uncynical, occasionally over-the-top Claude. He’s a breath of fresh air, wild gesticulation and even a cringe-worthy Shania Twain performance for the record books in Fey’s adaptation of the 1981 Alan Alda film by the same name.

Variety caught...

The characters in Netflix's The Four Seasons are preparing themselves for another year of drama-filled vacations. But unlike with Season 1, which was based on the 1981 movie of the same name, Tina Fey and the show's writing staff have a blank page for Season 2. The series, which has been a big hit for Netflix since it debuted at the start of May, starred Fey, Steve Carell, Colman Domingo, Erika Henningsen, Will Forte, Marco Calvani, and Kerri Kenney-Silver, as a group of friends who go on a different vacation together each spring, summer, fall, and winter. Season 1's penultimate episode included a shocking twist that separated the show from the movie, and the writing staff has ample room to dive further into that in Season 2 without a second film to pull from.

The first season of Netflix’sThe Four Seasons, starring Tina Fey, was quickly renewed for a second season on the streamer. The show was a hit for Netflix and, after its premiere, was No. 1 on Netflix’s English TV Showslist with 24.4 million views. The show, which follows the stories of three couples who are longtime friends after their friend group gets a wrench thrown in it when one of the couples decides to split up, has a 77% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Now, its creator, Tina Fey, is opening up about “starting from scratch” with the second season, per The Hollywood Reporter. In a plot twist, Nick, played by The Office’sSteve Carell, dies in a car crash in the penultimate episode of the first season. Carell was part of the couple who split as he was previously married to Anne,...

There’s something very aspirational these days about being able to take a vacation during spring, summer, fall, and winter. But the creative team behind “The Four Seasons” miniseries had some goals of their own in mind when adapting the 1981 Alan Alda film of the same title. Co-creators, writers, and executive producers Tina Fey, Tracey Wigfield, and Lang Fisher, have all been involved in legendary comedy series from “30 Rock” to “Never Have I Ever,” but “The Four Seasons” demanded more character-driven and even “indie movie” focus to its visual style than your standard sitcom.

“It’s been so fun. I don’t know that I’ve ever been a part of something that had this much of an immediate positive reaction,” Tina Fey says of the last few weeks as The Four Seasons, which she co-created and stars in, debuted on Netflix.

The series is inspired by the 1981 rom-com of the same name directed by Alan Alda, and follows three couples as they go on vacations in spring, summer, fall and winter, with marital and friendship troubles along the way. In a surprise twist, Steve Carell’s character Nick — who had divorced his wife Anne (Kerri Kenney-Silver) and was dating the much younger Ginny (Erika Henningsen) — died in a car crash in the second-to-last episode, which Fey addressed at an Emmy FYC event on Monday.

Fey and her co-creators, Tracey Wigfield and Lang Fisher, had the death in mind from the beginning of the show,...

When Erika Henningsen found out she had booked a key role on the breakout Netflix comedy series The Four Seasons, it wasn’t through her representatives or the show’s casting director. Instead, cocreator and star Tina Fey reached out directly.

“It was such a Tina touch that she would take the time to call me personally,” Henningsen tells Gold Derby. “And I just started crying immediately, because this is the biggest opportunity I’ve ever been given.”

Henningsen and Fey already had a solid professional relationship. The Emmy Award winner had previously cast Henningsen as the lead of the Broadway adaptation of Mean Girls, and Henningsen also appeared on episodes of Girls 5eva, which Fey executive-produced. However, The Four Seasons was different: Not only did Fey become Henningsen’s onscreen co-star, but the younger actress was also required to share...

It's time to clear your calendar for another year of vacations with one of the most dysfunctional friend groups on television! As part of its Upfronts presentation in May 2025, Netflix announced the exciting renewal of The Four Seasons season 2. The new breakout hit comedy series debuted on May 1 and shot off like a rocket, picking up impressive viewership stats right out of the gate.

As Netflix boasts in its renewal announcement, The Four Seasons has stayed put in the No. 1 spot of the weekly Top 10 English TV Shows ranking. Across its first two weeks of release, the comedy series has grabbed 24.4 million views so far, which is an amazing figure for not only a comedy series on Netflix but a new comedy series on Netflix. Of course, the star power doesn't hurt.

When Kerri Kenney-Silver went to audition for one of the lead roles in The Four Seasons, she figured she had absolutely no shot. It wasn’t because she lacked the experience or acting chops. Kenney-Silver is a member of the iconic Nineties sketch comedy troupe the State, logged two decades as the dunderheaded Trudy Wiegel on Reno 911!, and has had recurring roles on Superstore, 2 Broke Girls, Love, and countless other sitcoms and cartoons.

Netflix has revealed the future of The Four Seasons on the streaming platform. The news comes two weeks after the show premiered on Netflix on May 1.

On Wednesday, Netflix announced that The Four Seasons has officially been renewed for Season 2. The first season, which consisted of eight episodes, was an instant streaming hit, leading to the speedy renewal decision. Following its premiere, the show has held onto the No. 1 spot on Netflix's English TV Shows list, bringing in a total of 24.4 million views. While "potential new cast members" were teased to join the show in Season 2, no additional names were announced, and it's unclear when the series will return.

Another, um, season of The Four Seasons? Although in this case, wouldn't it technically be four? Whatever way you slice it, the news remains the same: we're getting more of The Four Seasons! That's right, Netflix has renewed the Tina Fey, Tracey Wigfield, and Lang Fisher-created series adaptation of the 1981 Alan Alda film of the same name. That brings the number of seasons up to two — or eight. But who's counting?

The news was announced on Wednesday, May 14, at Netflix's Upfronts Presentation at the Perelman Performing Arts Center in New York City. "We are so grateful that audiences worldwide share our love of cozy sweaters, drinks by the ocean, and picking fights in a hot tub," said series co-creators Fey, Fisher, and Wigfield (according to a report).

Demi Moore and Colman Domingo are set to star in Strange Arrivals, an alien abduction-themed romance inspired by the true story of Betty and Barney Hill and based on the podcast by Toby Ball.

Betty and Barney Hill were “an interracial couple who, in 1961, became the first reported case of an alien abduction, as they journeyed back from their honeymoon in Niagara Falls. Their experience catapulted them to fame and celebrity, but underneath that notoriety simmered the truth of what really happened that night, which would test even the most epic of romances.“

Roger Ross Williams (Stamped from the Beginning) will direct Strange Arrivals for See-Saw Films, based on a screenplay by Jane Anderson (Olive Kitteridge).

News of the renewal comes less than two weeks after the show, which hails from Tina Fey, Lang Fisher and Tracey Wigfield, launched on May 1. “The Four Seasons” debuted as Netflix’s most-watched English-language TV show during the week of April 28 with 11.9 million views, and grew the following week to reach 12.5 million views.

Netflix has renewed The Four Seasons for a second installment.

The eight-episode first season, which landed on the streamer May 1, is based on the 1981 feature film of the same name directed by Alan Alda, who also starred.

Alda has a cameo in the show, co-created by star Tina Fey, Lang Fisher and Tracey Wigfield. The main cast includes Fey as Kate, Will Forte as Jack, Colman Domingo as Danny, Marco Calvani as Claude, Steve Carell as Nick, Erika Henningsen as Ginny and Kerri Kenney-Silver as Anne.

Described as “a love letter to long marriages and old friendships,” the show follows a group of six friends who are heading on a vacation together when Carrell’s Nick drops the bomb that he wants to leave his wife Anne. From there, the three couples — one split up — navigate the new dynamic of splitting time between Nick and Anne while the other two...

“The Four Seasons” is getting another…well, season.

Netflix has renewed the comedy series for Season 2, which will consist of eight episodes like the first. The news comes less than two weeks after the series premiered on May 1. The renewal announcement was made by Netflix chief content officer Bela Bajaria on stage at the Netflix upfronts in New York City on Wednesday.

“We are so grateful that audiences worldwide share our love of cozy sweaters, drinks by the

ocean, and picking fights in a hot tub,” said series co-creators Tina Fey, Lang Fisher and Tracey Wigfield. “See you on our next vacation together!”

“The Four Seasons” is based on the 1981 film of the same name. Fey stars along with Will Forte, Colman Domingo, Marco Calvani, Steve Carell, and Kerri Kenney-Silver. The official description of the show states:

“Six old friends head for a relaxing weekend away only to learn that...

Settle in for another winter, spring, summer, and fall with The Four Seasons: The Tina Fey–led series has been renewed for a second season.

The first season, which Fey, Tracey Wigfield, and Lang Fisher adapted from 1981 Alan Alda film of the same name, follows three couples comprising a long-time friend group that’s upended when one of the couples breaks up. Over eight delectable episodes, the series takes its starry cast — Kate (Fey) and Jack (Will Forte), Nick (Steve Carell) and Anne (Kerri Kenney-Silver), Danny (Colman Domingo) and Claude (Marco Calvani), and Ginny (Erika Henningsen) — on four enviable vacations.

When we first meet the crew, they’re headed to Nick and Anne’s lake house for some R&r before being blindsided by Nick announcing that he’s leaving Anne in pursuit of more adventure in his empty-nester stage of life. Months later, the group heads to a...

There’s a sequence in Alan Alda’s 1981 movie The Four Seasons in which all of the main characters converge on a classic Connecticut college for a parents' weekend and end up playing a friendly game of soccer.

Alda uses the game to highlight the competitiveness of the two primary players. The set piece is the same in Tina Fey’s new interpretation – now playing on Netflix – but the sport has changed. Now they are all playing ultimate frisbee.

This is just one of the many ways Fey and her co-creators – Lang Fisher and Tracey Wigfield – have managed to remain faithful to Alda’s original while expanding the scope.

With a writer like Tina Fey in charge, how could Four Seasons go wrong?

For instance, whereas the soccer scene in the original film primarily results in a showdown between the two alpha males in the group – Jack (Alda) and Nick (Len Cariou) – Fey,...

This Mother’s Day weekend, Netflix audiences skipped the prix fixe brunch and went straight to the Sunday ragù, making the Vince Vaughn–led Nonnas— a love letter to grief, cooking, and second chances — the most-watched English film of the week with 15.3 million views.

Based on a true story, the film simmers with sauce and sentiment as a mourning son sets out to rebuild his life and community by opening a Staten Island trattoria with a kitchen staffed entirely by grandmother chefs, each with a story — and signature dish — of her own.

The celebrations extended beyond the heartwarming grandmothers of Staten Island. Mothers also kept the cinematic hits coming, with viewing numbers for The Mother and Bird Box increasing more than 20 percent the week of Mother's Day.

And TV audiences continued cycling through the seasons with Tina Fey, Steve Carell, Colman Domingo, Will Forte, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Marco...

Warning: The following contains spoilers for The Four Seasons, including the final episode, "Fun."The Four Seasonspremiered on Netflix on May 1 to rave reviews, but fans of Steve Carell and Tina Fey's new comedy have been left in suspense after the finale ended on a shocking cliffhanger, leaving many to wonder whether they will ever get to see the drama unfold. While there is no official Season 2 renewal as yet, Fey and her fellow co-creators Tracey Wigfield and Lang Fisher are hopeful about getting a chance to cycle through the seasons — as in Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter — with the cast for a second time.

The Four Seasonsadapts the 1981 film of the same name, which was written and directed by Alan Alda. The series follows three sets of couples: Kate (Fey) and Jack (Will Forte), Danny (Colman Domingo) and Claude (Marco Calvani), and Nick (Carell) and Anne (Kerri Kenney-Silver...

The Four Seasons co-creator Tracey Wigfield explained the decision behind Nick's (Steve Carell) fate at the end of Episode 7. Created by Tina Fey, Netflix's new romantic drama series revolves around the story of a lifelong friendship between three married couples whose relationships get tested after one pair (Nick and Anne) gets divorced. 

Nick has had quite a journey in The Four Seasons. After deciding to move forward with his divorce from Anne (Kerri Kenney-Silver), Nick finds new love in Ginny (Erika Henningsen), and her arrival causes some more drama within the friend group. 

The Four Seasons is an adaptation of the 1981 movie of the same name, but with its own twist involving Nick's tragic fate. The other couples introduced in the series are Danny (Colman Domingo) and Claude (Marco Calvani), who are in an open marriage, and Jack (Will Forte) and Kate, who have their own struggles in their husband-wife dynamic.

The Four Seasons is No. 1.

Netflix’s new comedy series from cocreator Tina Fey topped the streaming platform’s viewing charts between April 28 and May 4, taking down the buzzy final season of thriller series You. That The Four Seasons only premiered on May 1, while You was available in full for the entire week, further buttresses its bona fides as a budding hit for Netflix.

“We are beyond thrilled at how many people have watched and loved The Four Seasons,’” cocreator Lang Fisher said in a statement to Gold Derby. “Thank you to everyone who wrapped themselves up in a blanket, got cozy, and binge-watched the whole thing in one sitting. We love you!”

The Four Seasons has long been expected to factor heavily into the Emmy Awards race, although some pundits have expressed slight concern over its May release date. In recent years, shows that arrived during the final month...
