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.

Why Netflix Renewed Steve Carell’s Hit Show For a Second Season Steve Carell in the show | Credits: Universal Television

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,...

In a surprising turn of events, the third week of July has resurrected Cillian Murphy‘s 20-year-old thriller, Red Eye, and propelled it to the Netflix Top 10 (via Tudum). Known for its bizarre and divisive plot, the psychological thriller has always been a polarizing talking point among Murphy’s fans. It is either considered a masterful work of edge-of-the-seat thrill or a clichéd delivery of cringeworthy plots and character arcs.

But Netflix is not exactly known to be niche about its taste in films (re: The Old Guard 2). As such, it is stranger still to see a brilliant work of storytelling from the talented Tina Fey get a premium spot as an original on the streaming platform. Starring a diverse cast of talented, award-winning actors, The Four Seasons is a breath of fresh air among other run-of-the-mill shows and films.

However, despite its well-developed storyline and wildly fulfilling Season...

'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...

Aziza Scott is the latest actor to join “Italianna,” Universal Pictures and Will Packer Productions’ upcoming romantic comedy starring Halle Bailey and Regé-Jean Page.

Scott, who is best known for roles in TV shows like “Home Before Dark,” “The Fosters” and “Insecure,” most recently delivered a standout turn in “One of Them Days,” the hit buddy comedy movie starring Keke Palmer and Sza. In the movie, produced by Issa Rae, Palmer and Sza play best friends in a race against the clock to deliver their rent money, with Scott’s Berniece as one of their most menacing, yet hilarious, hurdles.

Now, Scott brings her comedic chops to “Italianna,” appearing alongside Bailey, Page and Marco Calvani. Directed by Kat Coiro from a screenplay by Ryan Engle, the film is based on an original idea by Ryan and Kristin Engle. Plot details, including Scott’s role, are being kept under wraps. “Italianna...

Marco Calvani, the Italian star who delivered a breakout performance in Netflix’s “The Four Seasons,” is leaning into his roots for “Italianna,” Universal Pictures and Will Packer Productions’ upcoming romantic comedy starring Halle Bailey and Regé-Jean Page.

Directed by Kat Coiro from a screenplay by Ryan Engle, “Italianna” will be released theatrically on April 10, 2026.

Calvani, who is also a playwright and filmmaker, joins the project after making his U.S. acting debut in “The Four Seasons,” Tina Fey’s adaptation of the 1981 Alan Alda film by the same name. Calvani plays the charming (yet sometimes over-the-top) Claude, husband to Colman Domingo’s Danny, in the comedy about a group of friends navigating life, love and loss. Calvani told Variety that Domingo, whom he calls a “dear friend,” recruited him for the role while he was working on his second feature.

“[He] called me one morning and was like, ‘Hey, are you still an actor?...

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,...

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...

We will update this article throughout the season, along with all our predictions, so make sure to keep checking IndieWire for the latest news from the 2025 Emmys race. The nomination round of voting takes place from June 12 to June 23, with the official Emmy nominations announced Tuesday, July 15. Afterwards, final voting commences on August 18 and ends the night of August 27. The 77th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards are set to take place on Sunday, September 14, and air live on CBS at 8:00 p.m. Et/ 5:00 p.m. Pt.

The State of the Race

Oddly enough, the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series Emmy race is a bit dependent on how many voters watched “Shrinking” on Apple TV+. No one made the cut in this category for Season 1, including Harrison Ford, but many Emmy prognosticators have him, Michael Urie, Brett Goldstein, and even Ted McGinley all in the mix for an Emmy nomination.

Colman Domingo is waiting to exhale. Working primarily in the drama sphere, he’s snagged an Emmy for his role as a drug recovery counselor in Euphoria and Oscar nominations for Sing Sing and Rustin, where he played men oppressed by systemic inequalities. Unsurprisingly, he was more than happy to give himself “the gift of a comedy” with Netflix’s latest dramedy, The Four Seasons. In this reimagining of Alan Alda’s 1981 film, Domingo and Marco Calvani are paired as husbands, who, alongside their coupled longtime friends, go on multiple seasonal vacations while weathering the many highs and lows of marriage.

Deadline: Co-creator Tina Fey initially reached out to you about starring in this project. Why did you decide to take up the offer?

Colman Domingo: Right. She asked if I would be interested in this, and I was. I already knew the source material because I watched it...

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,...

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.

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,...

It’s been nearly 50 years since a certain shark-centric thriller made audiences everywhere scared to get back in the water. But with his new horror film “Dangerous Animals,” director Sean Byrne and his cast want to correct the species’ misrepresentation displayed in “Jaws” by terrifying viewers with the true top of the food chain: the human being.

But not just any old human. In “Dangerous Animals,” Jai Courtney portrays a charming yet brutal serial killer named Tucker who uses the ocean to live out his own killer instincts. Naturally, it’s not the sharks’ fault they’d eat whatever they find submerged amongst the chum. In fact, both the cast and crew went so far as to praise the animals at the film’s Los Angeles premiere at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood on Tuesday night — even if they experienced a real-life shark attack on set while making the Australian/Canadian/American co-production.

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.

Tina Fey recently sat down with The Hollywood Reporter to discuss the first season of The Four Seasons and...

The latest top five lists of the most viewed movies and shows on Netflix, as listed by Tudum, contain some shockers. It's not that they are bad to watch, though. Some are hard to watch, especially if you have a delicate stomach.

There is just one new entry to last week's top five movies list. And what an entry when it comes to stomach churning. Given that it also uncovers a phony health scam, it won’t leave you feeling good. Three of the other movies cover a variety of crime and violence, too. Thankfully, there's also a heartwarming film that’s an antidote to the others, which will leave you hungry for more

It’s quite a change around on the top five shows, with three new entries this week. But the balance is still towards the tough-to-watch, uncomfortable viewing, a murder, and a major manhunt. This time, though,...

This article contains spoilers for The Four Seasons, streaming on Netflix.

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.

Watch the video of Tina Fey and “The Four Seasons” team above.

“ In the shows that Tina and Tracey and I have done before, it’s been really rapid fire and there’s been a lot of tight coverage and I feel like when we first started talking to [cinematographer Tim Orr], we’d like to play things looser,...

“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,...

Warning: This story contains spoilers for The Four Seasons.

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...

Private equity fund Muv Capital is allying with Brazilian distribution company Retrato Filmes to co-invest in its distribution slate of projects, including acquisition of buzzy titles made for Brazil and Latin America at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.

São Paulo-based, Muv Capital is the entertainment arm of Latin America’s leading alternative asset management company, Hurst Capital.

Muv Capital’s initial investments have been made in the music industry and fine arts. Its alliance with Retrato is its first audiovisual investment in Brazil and first solo project. It comes after Laura Rossi was appointed in November as Muv’s head of investments in audiovisual. A specialist in financing, rights management and positioning projects in the market, Rossi previously served as a former head of international at Gullane, one of Brazil’s biggest independent film-tv production houses.

Previously joining other equity funds to invest in two international titles, “Swimming Home” and “The Summer Book,...

Given that (a) the Cannes Film Festival always takes place in mid-May, (b) Primetime Emmy nominations voting always begins in mid-June, and (c) Cannes draws a large cross-section of the entertainment industry and press, it has always made sense for Emmy hopefuls to show up on the Croisette. But arguably, never have more made the pilgrimage than this year.

They have come — or will be coming — for a wide variety of reasons.

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.

The Four Seasons was created by Tina Fey, Lang Fisher, and Tracey Wigfield. It is based on the 1981 movie of the same name, which was written and directed by Alan Alda. The series follows three couples and longtime friends whose group...

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). "See you on our next vacation together!" The series was originally billed as a miniseries (which generally indicates something as intended to...

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).

In a statement, Williams said, “As a director, to be able to work with actors at the top of their craft, is a dream. Demi and Colman coming together for the first time to...

It was also revealed that the upcoming fourth season will debut in 2026.

Netflix has granted a Season 2 renewal to “The Four Seasons,” the TV adaptation of Alan Alda’s 1981 movie of the same name, Netflix chief content officer Bela Bajaria announced during Netflix’s upfront presentation on Wednesday. Like Season 1, the second installment will consist of eight episodes.

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.

In “The Four Seasons,” Fey stars alongside Will Forte, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Marco Calvani, Erika Henningsen, Colman Domingo and Steve Carell.

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...

Once upon a time in Cannes … Quentin Tarantino had a night to remember.

The Oscar winning auteur turned up at the Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday night to attend the opening ceremony at the Grand Lumiére Theatre where he had official duties to proclaim the start of the 12-day event. “It’s my honor to declare the 78th festival open!” Tarantino shouted into the microphone.

With that, his only job was done. To put an exclamation point on what had been a politically-charged program — Robert De Niro accepted an honorary Palme d’Or from Leonardo DiCaprio, blasted President Donald Trump and delivered a call to action for artists in the room (“We have to act, and we have to act now,” he said) — Tarantino literally dropped his mic on the stage.

It seemed to be a fitting end for his enthusiastic proclamation as well as his night at the Palais...

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,...

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...

Cue up Pachelbel’s Canon in D, because The Four Seasons is a hit indeed! The series, which stars Tina Fey, Will Forte, Colman Domingo, Marco Calvani, Steve Carell, and Kerri Kenney-Silver as three emotionally messy couples who regularly vacation together, is currently number one globally on Netflix with 11.9 million views and counting. Not too shabby for a project based on a 44-year-old feature — Alan Alda’s 1981 big-screen rom-com of the same name — that doesn’t rely on heavy special effects, reality-show screaming, overheated teens, or serial killer Joe Goldberg, whose final season of You was bumped from the top spot. Instead, Tfs manages to mine eight instantly bingeable episodes out of razor-sharp dialogue, off-the-charts chemistry among the entire ensemble, and universally relatable situations. Whether it’s how the group reformulates after Carell’s Nick divorces Kenney-Silver’s Anne and takes up with a younger woman (played by Hazbin Hotel...

If you're expecting the fast-paced outright absurdity of "30 Rock" or "Girls5Eva" when you queue up Tina Fey's new Netflix series "The Four Seasons," you might be caught off guard. But while this project is a bit different from a lot of Fey's small-screen work, it's still yet another worthy effort from the multi-talented "Saturday Night Live" veteran. Based on Alan Alda's 1981 movie "The Four Seasons," which was written, directed, and led by Alda alongside Carol Burnett, Rita Moreno, and Len Cariou, this Netflix miniseries of the same name reimagines the story for modern times. Fey, who created the show with her longtime collaborators Lang Fisher and Tracey Wigfield, stars as Kate, who's married to Jack (Will Forte), and every "season," they vacation with their friends Danny (Colman Domingo), Danny's husband Claude (Marco Calvani), Nick (Steve Carell), and his wife Anne (Kerri Kenney-Silver). According to FlixPatrol, the...

Anyone else ready to book a return trip to The Four Seasons on Netflix? The new Netflix original comedy series, which made its debut on May 1, has already managed to make an excellent case for a second season, and that goes beyond even its shocking season finale cliffhanger. After its opening weekend, the comedy series has proven itself a hit with audiences.

In its first four days of availability on Netflix, The Four Seasons made quite the unforgettable debut as the most-watched title on the English TV ranking for the week of April 28. The eight-episode series came in hot with 11.9 million views, which translates to over 51 million hours viewed. The quaint comedy-that-could bested You season 5's first full week total of 10.9 million views/92.4 million hours.

Honestly, The Four Seasons performed much better in the ratings than I expected, and this is coming from someone who loves the show. It's that...
