Spoiler Alert: This article contains major plot developments from Season 1 of The Four Seasons.
Netflix has officially renewed The Four Seasons for a second season, and not a moment too soon. The comedy, co-created by Tina Fey, Tracey Wigfield, and Lang Fisher, left viewers reeling with a dramatic finale that turned its vacation-friendly vibe into something far more emotional. The renewal was announced during the Netflix Upfronts.
As fans try to process that gut-punch of an ending, they can now look ahead to what’s next for this complicated circle of friends.
From Laugh-Out-Loud Getaways to a Life-Altering Loss
Adapted from the 1981 Alan Alda film of the same name, The Four Seasons follows three longtime couples whose friendship is tested when one pair unexpectedly splits. Season 1 unfolds across eight episodes and four seasonal trips, each revealing cracks and moments of tenderness in their relationships.
- Kate (Fey) and Jack (Will Forte), steady and sarcastic
- Nick (Steve Carell) and Anne (Kerri Kenney-Silver), whose split kicks off the drama
- Danny (Colman Domingo) and Claude (Marco Calvani), perhaps the most emotionally intuitive of the group.
Then there’s Ginny (Erika Henningsen), Nick’s younger new girlfriend, whose presence disrupts the group’s long-held dynamic.
Each trip brings new revelations: a poorly chosen eco-resort, a return to their shared alma mater, and finally, a snowy retreat that ends in tragedy. In the finale, Nick dies in a car accident during a ski trip with Ginny, a devastating turn that comes just before she reveals she’s pregnant with his child.
A Strong Debut and a Compelling Setup for Season 2
Since its May 1 premiere, The Four Seasons quickly climbed the charts, holding the No. 1 spot on Netflix’s English TV list for two weeks and drawing over 24 million views. The renewal is a clear signal that the blend of brilliant writing, ensemble chemistry, and emotional depth has struck a chord.
While the first season focused on midlife change and friendship under pressure, Season 2 now has even more emotional territory to explore.
- How will the group handle the fallout from Nick’s death?
- What will Ginny’s future with the group look like now that she’s carrying his child?
- Will this core group stay intact, or start to fracture under the weight of loss and transition?
With Tina Fey leading the charge and a standout cast returning, The Four Seasons is poised to expand its story in ways that are as heartfelt as they are biting.
Stay tuned for updates on casting, release dates, and production news as Season 2 begins to take shape.
