Tina Fey co-created Netflix‘s The Four Seasons based on the 1981 movie about six friends who vacation four times yearly. However, things change when one of the group couples’ marriages falls apart. With the Netflix series renewed for season two, Fey talks about what we can expect and if Steve Carell will return.
According to what Tina Fey told Deadline, season two is “coming along” with the full staff of the first season. One thing that made The Four Seasons stand out was dedicating two consecutive episodes throughout the season to a single vacation. The show’s star and co-creator got real if season two continues that format:
“Well, one of the things we like about it is what we kept calling the container plate of it. The game of, we only see them on vacation. We only see them throughout the year,” said Fey. “And again, I will say, to address the internet directly, these are not all lavish vacations. The writers were like, ‘Some people say, ‘Who takes four vacations a year?’ I was like, ‘Well, they go to their friend’s house, visit their kid at college, they go away on a vacation and then they go away to, I guess what is a local ski weekend. I don’t ski, so I don’t know if people do that more than once a year, but we definitely want to keep the format of only seeing them when they’re together, only seeing them over four occasions.”
Will Steve Carell be returning?
Season one of The Four Seasons ended with Steve Carell’s character, Nick, killed in a car accident. After the funeral, we learn that Nick’s young girlfriend, Ginny, is pregnant with his baby. Tina Fey joked around about a funny group text exchange between the cast when the Netflix series was renewed:
“And we had a really funny group text chain that when we got picked up for Season 2, everyone was like, ‘Yay, hooray, blah, blah.’ And then five minutes after everything, Steve just wrote, ‘I’m dead.'”
While Nick died at the end of season one, will we get to see him in the form of flashbacks? Here was Tina Fey’s answer:
“I couldn’t possibly say. We have our format. I mean, of the many mistakes I’ve made in my career, killing him will hopefully go down as the biggest.”
Make sure to watch season one of The Four Seasons streaming on Netflix.
