Tina Fey Reveals How Season 2 Of The Four Seasons Is Going To Work

This article contains major spoilers for The Four Seasons on Netflix.

Fans who found themselves hooked on the low-stakes drama of The Four Seasons on Netflix earlier this year were delighted when the show was renewed for a second run last month.

And in a new interview with Deadline, Tina Fey – who also co-created the series, and wrote two of its episodes – is teasing exactly how the next season will work.

The first run of The Four Seasons checked in with the same group of friends on four different group trips, as we caught up with where they were all at in their different personal dramas.

In light of big changes the gang went through by the end of season one, Deadline’s reporter asked Tina whether this format would still be the case for the new episodes.

“One of the things we like about it is what we kept calling the container plate of it. The game of, we only see them on vacation,” Tina responded. “We only see them throughout the year.

She added: “We definitely want to keep the format of only seeing them when they’re together, only seeing them over four occasions.”

Tina also spoke about the possibility of Steve Carell putting in an appearance, despite his character having now been killed off.

“I couldn’t possibly say,” she said. “We have our format.”

She then quipped: “I mean, of the many mistakes I’ve made in my career, killing him will hopefully go down as the biggest.”

Work on the second season of The Four Seasons is now underway, with cast members Will Forte, Colman Domingo, Kerri Kenney-Silver and Marco Calvani expected to return in the new episodes.

Until then, the first series of The Four Seasons is streaming on Netflix – with the platform making announcements about three other fan-favourite shows when it was first revealed that a second season was on the way.

The Four Seasons Series 2: We’ve Got Good News And Bad News For Anyone Hoping For More Episodes

Warning: This article contains spoilers for the Netflix comedy The Four Seasons.

If you’ve already binged all eight episodes of The Four Seasons on Netflix, you’ve no doubt been left wondering if there’s going to be any kind of resolution to that cliffhanger ending.

Tina Fey’s new comedy has been a hit with both critics and viewers, with those who’ve already watched it now hoping there’ll be a second run of the comedy – particularly given how things end in episode eight.

So… how likely is it that there’ll be new episodes of The Four Seasons in the not-too-distant future.

Will The Four Seasons get a season 2 at Netflix?

Well, we’re sorry to disappoint you, but given it’s only been a few days since it began streaming, there’s not been any kind of update yet on whether The Four Seasons will be getting recommissioned.

However, recent history has indicated that it tends to be the platform’s most popular shows that get follow-up seasons, and The Four Seasons has spent a good few days hovering around the top of Netflix’s most-watched chart, which is definitely a good sign for now.

It’s also billed as an original Netflix “series” rather than a “miniseries” – which does suggest that there could be a future for the show.

This will be particularly good news for anyone who let out an involuntary gasp at that ending revelation, but one thing we should point out is that the 1981 film The Four Seasons, on which the TV show is based, ends on a similar unresolved cliffhanger, so we definitely wouldn’t take that a sign of more to come.

What has Tina Fey said about the possibility of The Four Seasons season 2?

Reassuringly, she’s definitely on board.

I feel like we sort of don’t dare to dream yet, but we did. Who knows,” she told TV Line. “If we were lucky enough to do more of these, we’d certainly all like to hang out again.”

Co-creator Tracey Wigfield was similarly enthusiastic about the whole cast returning in a second run.

She also already has an idea for how the story would play out, noting: “If we did another season, we would want the same group of friends, and we’d want Ginny to really be tied in there because she and Anne are going to have children who are siblings. And it just gives us a lot to play with in their relationship.”

The Four Seasons is available to stream on Netflix now.
