The Four Seasons Season 2 Is Back on Netflix — Tina Fey's Hilarious Comedy Returns with an Even Bigger Cast

The Four Seasons Is Back — And Season 2 Looks Like It's Going to Be Even Better

The Four Seasons, the Netflix comedy series co-created by and starring Tina Fey, is officially returning for Season 2 in 2026. The show — which follows four couples who vacation together every year and navigate the messy, hilarious reality of long-term friendships — was renewed after a strong debut season that resonated with millennials navigating the chaos of adulthood, marriage, and trying to keep friend groups alive.

Season 1 starred Tina Fey, Steve Carell, Maya Rudolph, and Seth Meyers as the four couples, and the chemistry between them was widely praised. For Season 2, Netflix has confirmed that new cast members including Ayo Edebiri and Paul Mescal will join the ensemble, adding fresh dynamics to the already brilliant group.

What to Expect from Season 2

Based on what we know so far, here's what fans can look forward to:

• The original cast returns — Tina Fey, Steve Carell, Maya Rudolph, and Seth Meyers are all confirmed for Season 2, bringing back the core dynamic that made Season 1 such a hit
• New characters shake things up — Ayo Edebiri and Paul Mescal joining the cast adds an entirely new energy, and the trailers suggest they'll play the younger generation that disrupts the established friend group
• More locations — Season 2 is reportedly filming in multiple international vacation destinations, raising the stakes (and the production value) significantly
• Deeper storylines — Fey has hinted that Season 2 will explore some of the heavier themes that Season 1 only scratched the surface of, including aging, career changes, and the evolution of friendships over decades

Why The Four Seasons Works So Well

In a streaming landscape full of dark prestige dramas and high-concept sci-fi (like Severance on Apple TV+, The Pitt on HBO Max, and Stranger Things on Netflix), The Four Seasons offers something increasingly rare: a warm, genuinely funny comedy about regular people dealing with relatable problems.

The show has been compared to classic ensemble comedies like Curb Your Enthusiasm, The White Lotus (but lighter), and Fey's own 30 Rock — but with a maturity that only comes from writers and actors who've actually lived through the life stages they're portraying.

Netflix's broader comedy lineup in 2026 also includes Ladies First, the gender-flipped Sacha Baron Cohen comedy, and The Boroughs from the Duffer Brothers, but The Four Seasons remains the streamer's flagship comedy for millennial and Gen X audiences.

The Verdict

Season 2 of The Four Seasons is shaping up to be one of Netflix's biggest comedy releases of 2026. If you loved the first season — or if you've ever tried to keep a friend group alive past the age of 35 — this is your show. Mark your calendars.

The Four Seasons Season 2 premieres on Netflix in mid-2026. Created by Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, starring Tina Fey, Steve Carell, Maya Rudolph, Seth Meyers, Ayo Edebiri, and Paul Mescal.
