'The Four Seasons' renewed for second season
Washington DC, June 15
The streaming giant Netflix renewed the show 'The Four Seasons' for the third season, reported Deadline.
According to Deadline, like the first two seasons, the third instalment will consist of eight episodes split over four two-episode arcs taking place over spring, summer, fall and winter. Unlike last year, when one of the stars, Steve Carell, left after Season 1 culminated with his character Nick's death and its aftermath, the main Season 2 cast, Fey, Will Forte, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Marco Calvani, Erika Henningsen and Colman Doming, are set to return for Season 3.
Henningsen, who was largely absent from the last three episodes of Season 2 as her character Ginny branched out on her own as she is raising Nick's child away from the group, will be back as a series regular.
The Season 2 finale announced the arrival of another potential high-profile cast member. In a surprise cameo, David Tennant appeared in the finale cliffhanger as Gianpiero, a neighbour and potential love interest for Nick's widow Anne (Kenney-Silver).
"It's been a joy watching the chaotic, beautiful journey of these lifelong friends," said Tracey Pakosta, Netflix VP of US Comedy.
She added, "Tina Fey, Lang Fisher, and Tracey Wigfield have a magical way of blending heart and sharp humour, making us feel like part of the inner circle. Audiences have fallen in love with these characters and this legendary cast's electric chemistry. We're thrilled to keep the vacation going for Season 3."
According to Deadline, the Four Seasons, based on the Alan Alda movie, got off to a big start, with its maiden season garnering high viewership in its first two weeks, ranking as No.1 both weeks.
Its second season launched at No. 3 with 4.4M views, down 63% from its Season 1 opening week. It perked up to 5.7M views in its first full week, bringing back Season 1 on the chart at No. 10 with 2M views.

I binge-watched both seasons last week! The way they handle relationships and friendship is so relatable, even for us in India. Though I must admit, the skiing and fancy resorts feel very far from my reality! 😄 David Tennant's cameo was a pleasant surprise. Hope he stays for Season 3.
Great decision by Netflix. The show has its ups and downs, but the writing is top-notch. Season 2 took a while to find its rhythm after Steve Carell left, but the cast adapted well. Looking forward to seeing how they handle Tennant's character Gianpiero.
Honestly, I found Season 2 a bit slow in the middle. The three-episode absence of Erika Henningsen's character was noticeable. But the finale cliffhanger with David Tennant has me hooked again. Fingers crossed they keep the momentum this time! 🤞
While I'm happy for the renewal, I hope the show tries something different in Season 3. The four-season arc structure is becoming predictable. Maybe shake up the format a bit? Still, it's a fun watch when you want something light.
As someone who discovered this show purely by chance during a late-night scrolling session, I have to say it's addictive! The characters feel like your own group of friends. My only gripe is that they gloss over real-world issues too much—everything's solved by a beach holiday or a fancy dinner. Still, entertainment is entertainment! 🇮🇳☺️
