The Four Seasons was a famous 1981 movie starring the likes of Carol Burnett, Alan Alda, Rita Moreno and Sandy Dennis. Tina Fey was just a young girl of 12 when she first saw the romantic comedy film and it stayed with her so much that she decided to remake it as an eight-part series for Netflix along with fellow 30 Rock writer-producers Lang Fisher and Tracey Wigfield.

Tina Fey says: “Tracey, Lang, and I have talked about the show being a love letter to long-term relationships, both platonic and romantic 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 series also sees a reunion of Tina Fey and Steve Carell who starred together in Date Night.

The Four Seasons plot

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 (Tina Fey) and Jack (Will Forte), Nick (Steve Carell) and Anne (Kerri Kenney-Silver), and Danny (Colman Domingo) and Claude (Marco Calvani), are completely upended by the news.
