5 Things You Need to Know About the Four Seasons Netflix Reboot That Has Everyone Talking
- This is not a nature documentary: The upcoming Netflix project, tentatively titled "Four Seasons," is a scripted comedy-drama series, not a docuseries about weather or resorts. It is based on the 1981 film of the same name, which starred Alan Alda and Carol Burnett.
- It’s a mega-producer reunion: The show is being executive produced by Tina Fey, Robert Carlock, and Jeff Richmond—the powerhouse team behind "30 Rock," "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt," and "Mr. Mayor." This instantly gives it a pedigree for sharp, fast-paced dialogue and quirky character work.
- The cast is stacked with comedy royalty: Leading the ensemble are Will Forte (Saturday Night Live, Last Man on Earth) and Kerri Kenney-Silver (Reno 911!, The State), along with eight other main cast members. This "Four Seasons" Netflix reboot is essentially a sitcom supergroup.
- The plot is more cynical than the original: In the 1981 film, three married couples navigate their friendship during seasonal vacations. This version leans into modern marital dynamics, with the specific twist that three couples discover their annual trip is the only thing holding their fractured lives together.
- It's already greenlit for a first season: This isn't a pilot in limbo. Netflix has ordered a full 10-episode first season, signaling massive confidence in the project. Expect the dry, witty, and slightly uncomfortable humor that defines the Fey/Carlock brand.
