Did you watch The White Lotusand wish everyone could just love each other and get along? Yeah, there should be some spats—that’s just life—but none big enough to put someone in a body bag or inspire anyone to poop in anyone else’s suitcase. If you’re in that camp, The Four Seasons might be just the show you’re looking for.
Co-created by Tina Fey, Lang Fisher, and Tracey Wigfield, The Four Seasons was inspired by the 1981 Alan Alda film of the same name. The series follows an old friend group made up of three couples—Kate (Fey) and Jack (Will Forte), Nick (Steve Carell) and Anne (Kerri Kenney-Silver), and Danny (Colman Domingo) and Claude (Marco Calvani)—who head out for a relaxing group vacation only to learn that one of the couples is splitting up. “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,” the series’ official synopsis reads.
The cast of this show is not only full of legends, but also enjoys an easy and believable chemistry that comes across in every scene of this short clip. Fey and Carell at least have known each other for years (remember Date Night?), so there’s not much lifting to do there. “I hope audiences feel like they are inside a big sweater with us, and also having a dinner party with us, and I hope that any of the joy and warmth that we all feel for each other all transfers to them, and that we are a comfort and provide some laughs for them in their home,” Tina Fey said of the series in a statement to Tudum. That setup sounds a little precarious, but also nice and cozy, which is precisely what this series exudes.
