Imagine this: a tranquil lakeside cabin, laughter echoing through the woods, wine glasses clinking under twinkling lights- and then, bam! A death, a baby bombshell, and enough emotional wreckage to make even the calmest couple consider solo vacations.
Welcome to The Four Seasons, Netflix’s sizzling new dramedy that dropped on May 1,, a modern twist on the 1981 rom-com classic. But don’t let the title fool you- this is not just about seasonal getaways. It’s about messy friendships, shifting alliances, and the kind of drama that leaves your popcorn bowl empty before the episode ends.
So… Will there be a Season 2? Let’s spill the rosé.
Season 1 ended with a twist no one saw coming: Nick (played by comedy legend Steve Carell) dies. Yes, dies. Just as you’re processing that emotional whiplash, Ginny- his much younger girlfriend-reveals she’s pregnant. Mic drop. Now what?
Fans are practically begging Netflix for answers. Will the friend group survive this emotional hurricane? What kind of mother will Ginny be? And how on earth will Anne, Nick’s ex-wife and the group’s tightly wound glue, handle becoming a grandmother?
Here’s where it gets juicy. Although The Four Seasons was originally pitched as a limited series, the creators- Tina Fey, Tracey Wigfield, and Lang Fisher- are playing coy but hopeful.
“We’re going to start talking next week,” Fey teased in an interview. That’s right: talks of Season 2 are already swirling like autumn leaves in Central Park.
Wigfield, meanwhile, hinted that future episodes would lean into the “Anne vs. Ginny” tension- think Gilmore Girls meets The Real Housewives. Picture Anne clutching a diaper bag with rage in her eyes. Yes, please.
What Netflix is not saying (Yet)
Despite the buzz, Netflix has stayed silent. But here’s the tea: the streamer usually waits a few weeks post-release to gauge audience reactions and viewership data before greenlighting a sequel. And if Twitter reactions, TikTok edits, and online debates are anything to go by? The Four Seasons has fans hooked.
Why this show strikes a nerve?
At its core, The Four Seasons taps into something real. It’s about the friendships that evolve-and unravel- with age. It’s about second chances, new beginnings, and figuring out who your people really are when life hits hard.
And sure, it’s packed with jokes (this is Tina Fey we’re talking about), but underneath the laughs is a quiet truth about adulthood: it’s messy, unpredictable, and often, hilarious.
