What would it look like if your favorite comedians were all married … and best pals … and went on seasonal vacations to enviable locales? Thanks to The Four Seasons, the cozy Tina Fey–led series which debuted last year, we know the answer to that question. The series invites you to travel the world with a longtime friend group played by your favorite funny people: Fey, Will Forte, Steve Carell, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Colman Domingo, Marco Calvani, and Erika Henningsen.
Now the crew is setting their sights on a new slate of destinations in Season 2 of The Four Seasons, debuting on May 28. See where their travels bring the cast members in the first look at their latest adventures and the all-new trailer. Keep reading for a Season 1 refresher and a hint of the Season 2 itinerary.
Season 2 picks up where Season 1 left off: After Nick (Carell) dies in a sudden car crash, his girlfriend Ginny (Henningsen) announces to Kate (Fey), Jack (Forte), Anne (Kenney-Silver), Danny (Domingo), and Claude (Calvani) that she’s pregnant with Nick’s kid.
Coming off a hard year, our group of friends carries on their tradition of vacationing together, now with a baby (and a little baggage) in tow. “They have to learn to re-form as a group in a different configuration,” says Fey.
Watch the trailer on Tudum to see if you can spot any new faces joining the fray.
Fey, Lang Fisher, and Tracey Wigfield return as showrunners, creators, and executive producers. David Miner, Eric Gurian, and Jeff Richmond also executive produce. Alan Alda and Marissa Brennan produce, alongside Universal Television and Little Stranger.
The first season, which Fey, Wigfield, and Fisher adapted from the 1981 Alan Alda film of the same name, follows three couples comprising a longtime friend group that’s upended when one of the couples breaks up. Over eight witty episodes, the series takes its starry cast on four enviable vacations.
When we first meet the crew, they’re headed to Nick and Anne’s lake house for some R&R before being blindsided by Nick, who announces that he’s leaving Anne in pursuit of more adventure in the empty nester stage of his life. Months later, the group heads to a less-than-luxurious eco-resort, cluelessly chosen by Ginny, Nick’s new-to-the-group younger girlfriend, which prompts the other couples to confront the blind spots in their own marriages. Episodes 5 and 6 return the squad to the leafy alma mater where they met for “dry fall,” a confrontational student play, and ultimate Frisbee, before they split up for two snowy vacations in the final episodes.
Season 2 comes as welcome news to anyone who finished Episode 8, which ends on a massive cliff-hanger: Nick dies in a car accident while on a ski trip with Ginny. As the group gathers to mourn their beloved friend, Ginny tells them that she’s pregnant with Nick’s child. Based on how much heart and humor they bring to the ups and downs of getting older in Season 1, the friends are more than equipped to handle what’s to come in Season 2.
After premiering on May 1, Season 1 of the comedy series maintained the No. 1 spot on the English TV list for its first two weeks with a total of 24.4 million views. “What we loved about the first season is that people would text us, ‘My husband and I got into a conversation because we really saw ourselves in this marriage.’ Or, ‘This is my group of friends,’ ” says Fisher. “We hope that continues because we want people to see themselves in these stories and for it to feel real.”
The next trip will consist of eight all-new episodes.
Yes! Reunite with the friend group and hear from Fey, Wigfield, and Fisher about what to expect from Season 2 of The Four Seasons, only on Tudum.
Their next chapter takes off on May 28. Keep coming back to Tudum for updates on Season 2 of The Four Seasons.
