Couples trips are only really fun if everyone involved is in one of the couples, for a couples-with-friends trip is something else entirely. The characters in The Four Seasons, a new Netflix series written by 30 Rock alums Tina Fey, Tracey Wigfield, and Lang Fisher, seem like they’re about to learn this truth the hard way, not just once, but on four different vacations over the course of a year. 

“Six old friends head 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 (Kerri Kenney-Silver), and Danny (Colman Domingo) and Claude (Marco Calvani), are completely upended by the news,” reads a plot synopsis. “Over the course of a year, we follow the friends on four vacations, and watch how this shake-up affects everyone’s dynamic — sending old issues and new bubbling to the surface.”

Though today’s first teaser avoids really teasing which of the three couples is the one on the rocks, most of the character names follow the mold of Alan Alda’s 1981 film of the same name, so you could probably figure out who’s playing who. (Fey appears to be playing the role that Carol Burnett did in the original Four Seasons, for example.) In any case, Domingo offers a couple of great readings, including an exasperated realization that his mattress “smells like a cold sidewalk” and chastising his friends for having sex in someone else’s house. “Who does that?” he wonders, though he’s looking directly at the two culprits. There will likely be more of where that comes from when all eight 30-minute episodes debut on Netflix on May 1. You can check out some additional first-look images below.
