US EditionHow "The Four Seasons" Netflix series compares to 1981 movie
- Netflix released a new eight-episode series remake of The Four Seasons on May 1, 2025, starring and co-created by Tina Fey.
- The series updates Alan Alda's 1981 film by keeping its structure while modernizing character dynamics and introducing a gay couple.
- The longer format allows more exploration of each character’s emotional journeys, including scenes like a play staged by Lila and nuanced marital struggles.
- Steve Carell portrays Nick, whose storyline concludes with a tragic car accident on New Year's, and Fey noted that such a complex character required an actor with a certain charm like Carell's to bring him to life.
- This expansion from a two-hour film to an eight-hour series suggests deeper character development and contemporary themes, such as evolving friendships and sexuality.
