Not every vacation is a walk in the park! On Thursday, Netflix shared the first teaser for Tina Fey‘s The Four Seasons, and announced that it will premiere on May 1. The series is based on the 1981 Alan Alda film of the same name.
The show, starring and co-created by Fey, follows three couples — Fey and Will Forte, Steve Carell and Kerry Kinney-Silver, and Colman Domingo and Marco Calvani — as they embark on a vacation for each of the four seasons. After one of the couples announces their plans to divorce, it “affects everyone’s dynamic — sending old issues and new bubbling to the surface,” according to the synopsis.
“My mattress feels like a cold sidewalk!” says Domingo in one scene.
“You feel strongly about this,” responds Carell.
“I’m going to kill you!” ends Domingo.
The teaser — cleverly set to Vivaldi’s “The Four Seasons” — shows the three couples enduring silly struggles on each of their seasonal trips. Two episodes will be dedicated to each of the four vacations, which take place during a different season. The show was filmed in New York and Puerto Rico, and Domingo will take the director’s chair for one of the episodes.
Fey, previously told Netflix’s outletTudum thatthe show is “a love letter to long-term relationships, both platonic and romantic, because your life is ideally more than just the person you’re married to.”
Erika Henningsen of Girls5Eva is also a part of the regular cast, along with a guest cameo from Alda, who starred in the original film. Ashlyn Maddox, Jacob Buckenmyer, Taylor Ortega, Simone Recasner, Toby Edward Huss, Tommy Do, Chloe Troast, Jack Gore, and Julia Lester round out the cast. Fey co-created the series with Lang Fisher and Tracey Wigfield, who are also showrunners and writers for the film.
