‘Perfect’ Netflix show renewed for season 2 but fans worry it won’t be the same
It's not all good news.
*Warning: Contains MAJOR spoilers for The Four Seasons.*
One of Netflix’s latest hits has been renewed for a second season – but the silver lining has come with a cloud for fans of the series.
The Four Seasons only dropped on Netflix two weeks ago, but has seen such a positive reaction that bosses are happy to greenlight more.
Starring Tina Fey and Steve Carell, the eight-part comedy follows the lives of six lifelong friends across spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
Based on the 1981 film of the same name – which was written by, directed by, and starred M*A*S*H legend Alan Alda – it’s proven to be a smash for Netflix.

@LukeCustardTV joined in the celebrations: ‘I thought it was a one-off but I loved spending time with these people so bring it on!’
@WolfWithSadEyes compared the show to another recent hit from America: ‘Next season can be about a different family or group of friends or colleagues. This can be Netflix’s lighter White Lotus.’

In the seventh and penultimate episode of the season, Nick is killed in a car accident, and the other five characters all attend his funeral in the finale.
And in the promotional poster, Nick is the only character whose face can’t be seen, implying that the show is planning to follow through with writing him out.

Elsewhere, @DerVeivmeister begged Netflix to find a way to get the actor on screen more often: ‘Lots of flash backs please! Steve is the GOAT!’
@SuaveGuapo admitted, ‘I don’t know if it was because I was hungover but I almost cried the last couple episodes,’ laughing at themselves over their reaction.
The series so far has received a lukewarm-to-positive response from critics, with The Four Seasons currently standing at 77% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Viewers have reacted similarly, with the audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes standing at 63% – but on X, the series has proved incredibly popular.
As well as starring Carell and Fey, the series also features big names such as Colman Domingo, Will Forte, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Marco Calvani, and Erika Henningsen.
