Based on the 1981 film of the same name starring Alan Alda and Carol Burnett, Netflix's latest comedy series The Four Seasons is a must-watch. The eight thirty-minute episodes are rounded off with something of a cliffhanger as Nick’s (Steve Carell) funeral after a car accident, at which his much-younger girlfriend, Ginny (Erika Henningsen), reveals that she’s pregnant.
The announcement, needless to say, comes as a surprise to Nick’s ex-wife, Anne (Kerri Kenney-Silver), who is still reeling from his sudden passing. If you're looking for a binge-watch this weekend, this is it.

This is everything you need to know about a potential second season (which, spoiler alert, all of the cast are desperate for).
Has The Four Seasons season two been confirmed?
At the time of writing, the second season of The Four Seasons hasn't yet been confirmed, but in an interview, Kenney-Silver confirmed that the cast were all hoping that it would be renewed.
'We’re all dreaming for more. We would do this show till they turn the lights out. It has been the most fulfilling experience for all of us. We all have our fingers crossed, but you never know what’s going to happen. I don’t care if the next season is in a basement in Dayton, Ohio, and there’s some sort of lockdown. I would show up. Selfishly, as an actor, I just want to be around these people. I would follow Tina Fey anywhere,' she said. Watch this space!
What is The Four Seasons about?
Per the official Netflix logline, The Four Seasons tells the story of 'six old friends head out for a relaxing weekend away, only to learn that one couple in the group is about to split up. The three couples — Kate (Tina Fey) and Jack (Will Forte), Nick (Steve Carell) and Anne (Kenney-Silver), and Danny (Colman Domingo) and Claude (Marco Calvani) — are completely upended by the news.
'It feels lived-in,' Carell, one of the series' co-creators, told Netflix's Tudum. 'And I attribute that to the writing and the casting of it, too. It feels like these people have existed in each other’s lives for a long time. There’s a code, there’s an unspoken relationship that entwines all of them, and they speak the same language to each other. There’s a shorthand, and it’s funny.'
The Four Seasons is available to watch now on Netflix.
