Four Seasons Trailer and Key Art Revealed by Netflix
Netflix has revealed the official trailer and key art for The Four Seasons, the new comedy series from co-creators Tina Fey, Lang Fisher, and Tracey Wigfield.
Starring Tina Fey, Will Forte, Steve Carell, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Colman Domingo, Marco Calvani, and Erika Henningsen, the series will premiere on Thursday, May 1.
In the series, based on the 1981 feature film of the same name, 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.
Over the course of a year, we follow the friends on four vacations and watch how this shake-up affects everyone’s dynamic — sending old issues and new ones bubbling to the surface. The Four Seasons is a hilarious and heartfelt love letter to long marriages and old friendships.
“I hope audiences feel like they are inside a big sweater with us, and also having a dinner party with us, and I hope that any of the joy and warmth that we all feel for each other all transfers to them, and that we are a comfort and provide some laughs for them in their home,” Fey told Netflix blog Tudum previously.
“It feels lived-in,” Carell added. “And I attribute that to the writing and the casting of it, too. It feels like these people have existed in each other’s lives for a long time. There’s a code, there’s an unspoken relationship that entwines all of them, and they speak the same language to each other. There’s a shorthand, and it’s funny.”
“I don’t know if it’s a mix of magic and luck or if they’re just amazing at what they do, but the cast is perfect,” Calvani said. Domingo continued: “They really pulled together a lot of different energies, people who want to have a good time.”
“Tracey, Lang, and I have talked about the show being a love letter to long-term relationships, both platonic and romantic,” Fey said, “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.”
Tina Fey and fellow 30 Rock writer-producers Lang Fisher and Tracey Wigfield created and wrote the upcoming eight-episode series.
The Four Seasons is executive produced by Fey, Fisher, Wigfield, David Miner, Eric Gurian, and Jeff Richmond. Alda and Marissa Bregman produced the series.
