A Star-Studded Lineup

The Saturday Night Live alum joins a star-studded cast for The Four Seasons. This series is helmed by writer-comedian Tina Fey, Lang Fisher, and Tracey Wigfield. Fey, known for her sharp wit from 30 Rock and Mean Girls, will also star in the show. The series is an adaptation of Alan Alda’s 1981 feature film which originally starred Carol Burnett.

Tina Fey’s Latest Project

Tina Fey’s involvement brings a layer of excitement to the project. She’ll be acting and working behind the scenes as a co-creator and executive producer. Alongside her, Fisher and Wigfield contribute their expertise from past projects like Great News.

Forte Joins Forces with Steve Carell

Besides Tina Fey, Will Forte will be joined by comic genius Steve Carell, famous for his role in The Office. Carell recently voiced Gru in the forthcoming Despicable Me 4.

Diverse Cast Adds Depth

The show rounds out its roster with Oscar-nominated Colman Domingo, best known for his versatile roles and recent press events. Fellow cast members include Kerri Kenney-Silver from Reno 911! playing Trudy Weigel. She is joined by Erika Henningsen from the Broadway hit Les Miserables: The Broadway Musical.

This dynamic cast promises to bring various layers of humor and depth to the show. Kenney-Silver’s previous role of Trudy Weigel provides a distinct comedic style that fans know well.

A Peek at the Plot

The Four Seasons has secured an eight-episode order from Netflix, set to start production later this year. Based on Alda’s film, it follows three married couples who vacation together each season. The plot thickens when one husband leaves his wife and introduces his younger girlfriend, setting up for some genuinely hilarious moments.

This adaptation aims to amplify the awkwardness and humor caused by rapidly changing dynamics within these couples’ friendships.
