Will There Be a Season 2 of The Four Seasons? Everything We Know About Netflix’s Surprise Renewal

Netflix’s The Four Seasons—a cozy, character-driven dramedy starring Tina Fey, Will Forte, Colman Domingo, and Steve Carell—has officially been renewed for Season 2, defying its original label as a limited series. The announcement came just two weeks after its May 2025 premiere, a testament to the show’s emotional resonance and impressive performance on the platform. With over 39 million hours streamed globally, it quickly climbed Netflix’s Top 10 chart, proving that audiences were eager for more of its heartfelt storytelling.

🌿 From Limited Series to Ongoing Saga

Created by Tina Fey, Lang Fisher, and Tracey Wigfield, The Four Seasons is inspired by Alan Alda’s 1981 film and follows three long-time couples as they vacation together once per season. Each episode explores the evolving dynamics of friendship, marriage, and midlife reinvention. Season 1 delivered a mix of sharp humor and poignant drama, culminating in a devastating twist: the death of Nick (Steve Carell) and the revelation that his much-younger girlfriend Ginny (Erika Henningsen) is pregnant.

Originally envisioned as a self-contained eight-episode arc, the show’s creators hinted early on that they had ideas for continuing the story—if the cast and audience were on board. Netflix’s swift renewal confirmed that the emotional core of the series had struck a chord.

🎭 What to Expect in Season 2 of The four seasons?

While no official release date has been announced, writing for Season 2 began in June 2025. The creators have confirmed that the format will remain the same: four vacations, four seasons, and the same tight-knit group of friends. Tina Fey, Will Forte, Colman Domingo, Marco Calvani, Kerri Kenney-Silver, and Erika Henningsen are all expected to return, though Steve Carell’s character will not—unless flashbacks come into play.

Season 2 will likely explore the aftermath of Nick’s death, Ginny’s pregnancy, and how the group navigates grief, growth, and the arrival of a new life. Co-showrunner Wigfield teased that the show will continue to focus on “what throws long-term relationships for a loop—in bad and good ways.” Expect more emotional depth, comedic tension, and scenic getaways that reflect the characters’ inner journeys.

🏆 Awards Buzz and Critical Acclaim

Adding to the excitement, Colman Domingo received an Emmy nomination for his role as Danny, marking the show’s first major awards recognition. His performance, alongside the ensemble cast, was praised for its authenticity and warmth—qualities that fans hope will carry into the next season.

📅 When Will Season 2 Premiere?

Given the production timeline of Season 1, which filmed in late 2024 and premiered in May 2025, Season 2 could arrive as early as mid to late 2026. Filming has not yet begun, and no trailer has been released, but the writers’ room is active and buzzing with ideas.
