Published: April 15, 2025 -- Winter, spring, summer, or fall, Tina Fey and Steve Carell will bring the laughs in The Four Seasons. The Date Night co-stars reunite on screen alongside Marco Calvani, Colman Domingo, Will Forte, Erika Henningsen, and Kerri Kenney-Silver in an adaptation of Alan Alda’s 1981 big-screen romantic comedy of the same name.

Fey and fellow 30 Rock writer-producers Lang Fisher and Tracey Wigfield created and wrote the upcoming eight-episode series.

SYNPOSIS:

Six old friends head out 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.

“It feels lived-in,” Carell said of the show. “And I attribute that to the writing and the casting of it, too. It feels like these people have existed in each other’s lives for a long time. There’s a code, there’s an unspoken relationship that entwines all of them, and they speak the same language to each other. There’s a shorthand, and it’s funny.”

The comedy dream team of Fey, Fisher, and Wigfield first worked together on the final season of 30 Rock. Each have subsequently launched other hit series — Fey’s Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt ran for four seasons followed by an interactive movie, while Season 3 of Girls5eva (created by Meredith Scardino and produced by Fey) debuted on Netflix in March 2024; Fisher’s Never Have I Ever ended last year after four seasons on Netflix; and Wigfield’s Great News and Saved By the Bell reboot both ran for multiple seasons.

“Tracey, Lang, and I have talked about the show being a love letter to long-term relationships, both platonic and romantic,” Fey said, “because your life is ideally more than just the person you’re married to. Sometimes when you are struggling with something with just your spouse, you need a group of friends to bring humor to it. Those friendships really help marriages, I think. Having a person who just fulfills a part of you that your spouse can’t quite [fulfill] is very important.”

The Four Seasons is executive produced by Fey, Fisher, Wigfield, David Miner, Eric Gurian, and Jeff Richmond. Alda and Marissa Bregman will produce.
