The Four Seasons, Season 2 Cr. Emily V. Aragones/Netflix Logo text Tina Fey and her vacation-loving friends reckon with personal loss and mid-life crises brought on by marriage in the trailer for the second season of Netflix’s comedy The Four Seasons, which dropped on Monday ahead of a May 28 premiere.
The series teaser for the new take on Alan Alda’s 1981 film has old friends Kate (Fey), Jack (Will Forte), Danny (Colman Domingo), Claude (Marco Calvani), Anne (Kerry Kenney-Silver) and Ginny (Erika Henningsen) jetting off to Italy and other holiday reunions.
Only hanging like a dark cloud over the tight-knit friends is the sudden car accident death of Nick, played by Steve Carell, at the end of the first season. A year out from that tragedy, the friends also visit the Jersey Shore and upstate New York state during the sophomore season as old issues and new ones shake up the usual dynamics.

At one point, Kate tells Danny if only she had a dollar for every time he tells her “Oh, thank God I don’t have kids.” That has Domingo’s character countering: “Girl, you’d have like $60. Calm down.”
And Ginny, charged with handling Nick’s estate, admits she can’t sell his boat as she traded it for two donkeys. But there’s also much toasting and kissing and hugging as the married couples reunite with at least one baby in tow and possibly another as Danny and Claude consider adopting their own.
“We used Nick’s passing to launch us into this season, because he really loomed so large,” co-creator Lang Fisher. “When you lose someone who’s a real fixture, the group tends to lose its center,” series co-creator Lang Fisher along with Fey and Tracey Wigfield told Tudum.
