“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 one couple in the group is about to split up. The three couples, Kate (Fey) and Jack (Forte), Nick (Carell) and Anne (Kenney-Silver), and Danny (Domingo) and Claude (Calvani), are completely upended by the news. Over the course of a year, we follow the friends on four vacations, and watch how this shake-up affects everyone’s dynamic — sending old issues and new bubbling to the surface.”
Per Netflix, the show has drawn 24.4 million views in its first two weeks of availability.
In addition to co-creating the series, Fey, Fisher, and Wigfield serve as executive producers and co-showrunners. Fey executive produces under her Little Stranger Inc. banner. David Miner executive produces along with Jeff Richmond and Eric Gurian of Little Stranger. Universal Television, where Fey is under an overall deal, is the studio.
