What is 'The Four Seasons' about?

The Four Seasons is inspired by the 1981 movie of the same title. It follows long-time friends and couples – played by Tina Fey and Will Forte, Steve Carell and Kerri Kenney-Silver, and Colman Domingo and Marco Calvani – as they commit to going on four seasonal vacations together in Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter.

Along the way, the group learns that one couple is going to break up, and the series shows "how this shake-up affects everyone's dynamic, sending old issues and new bubbling to the surface," according to an official synopsis.

Who's in 'The Four Seasons' cast?

Decades ago, the rom-com included big names such as Alan Alda, who wrote, directed, and starred in the film, as well as Carol Burnett, Rita Moreno, Sandy Dennis, and Jack Weston.

Now, Tina's new iteration of The Four Seasons has another star-studded cast:

• Tina Fey
• Will Forte
• Steve Carell
• Kerri Kenney-Silver
• Colman Domingo
• Marco Calvani

Aside from the main actors portraying the three couples, fans can look forward to seeing other stars gracing their screen! They include:

• Alan Alda
• Ashyln Maddox
• Julia Lester
• Jacob Buckenmyer
• Taylor Ortega
• Toby Edward Huss
• Tommy Do
• Simone Recasner
• Chloe Troast
• Cole Tristan Murphy
• Jack Gore

Who created 'The Four Seasons'?

Tina Fey has masterminded The Four Seasons as the creator, co-showrunner, executive producer, and writer, working alongside Tracey Wigfield and Lang Fisher, who also directs. The show was produced under Universal Television, and additional executive producers include David Miner and Eric Guiran.

As for directorial responsibilities, the duty was split among several talents. Robert Pulcini and Shari Springer Berman take on the first two episodes, followed by Oz Rodriguez for episodes three and four. Then, executive producer Jeff Richmond steered episode five, while Colman Domingo stepped in for episode six. The final two episodes are directed by co-creator and showrunner Lang Fisher.

Tina Fey has already solidified herself as a powerhouse writer. After leaving Saturday Night Live in 2006, she created the TV show 30 Rock, which premiered in October of that year and ran until 2013. Then, she co-created the sitcom Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt with Robert Carlock in 2015, which ran for four seasons.

Where can I watch 'The Four Seasons'?

Once The Four Seasons debuts, you can stream it on Netflix!

Netflix was able to secure the series after a competitive bidding war. The Four Seasons became a sought-after comedy following the labor strikes of 2023, and in early 2024, the streaming giant granted the show a straight-to-series order.

When does 'The Four Seasons' come out?

The Four Seasons debuts on Netflix on May 1, 2025!

How many episodes will 'The Four Seasons' have?

The Four Seasons will include eight half-hour episodes!

Is there a trailer for 'The Four Seasons' yet?

A teaser trailer for The Four Seasons dropped on March 20, 2025 — and it's clear that fans are eager to watch Tina's newest work.

"They had me at Colman Domingo and Tina Fey," one viewer commented.

"Yes, yes, yes! I love this! Tina and Steve?! Count me in," echoed another.

So needless to say...we're excited! BRB while we add The Four Seasons debut to our calendars!
