Netflix’s latest original series The Four Seasons offers a contemporary reimagining of the 1981 film of the same name, blending comedy and drama in a reflective look at long-standing friendships and evolving relationships.
Created by Tina Fey, Lang Fisher, and Tracey Wigfield, the eight-episode miniseries debuted on 1 May and is now streaming.
The story follows six friends—three married couples—who meet up four times a year for weekend getaways. Over time, cracks begin to show in their long-held routines, leading to moments of reflection, tension, and emotional recalibration.
While the new series retains the core dynamic of the original, it expands character arcs and deepens emotional storytelling, offering viewers a more immersive and nuanced experience.
Fey stars alongside Steve Carell, Colman Domingo, Will Forte, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Marco Calvani, and Erika Henningsen, forming a strong ensemble that brings decades of performance experience.
Alan Alda, the original film’s writer, director and lead, also makes a brief appearance, signalling his endorsement of the update.
"I've always loved this movie since I was a kid," said Tina Fey in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. "A series like this where you can really just expand things and take your time a little bit more felt like a perfect way to hang out with these characters a little bit longer."
The Four Seasons is now streaming on Netflix.
