What is The Four Seasons about?
The show follows the journey of six longtime friends who are also three couples and are on vacation together to relax. However, chaos ensues when one of the couples reveals they are about to break up.
Talking about the show, Carell shared, “It feels lived-in. And I attribute that to the writing and the casting of it, too. It feels like these people have existed in each other’s lives for a long time. There’s a code, there’s an unspoken relationship that entwines all of them, and they speak the same language to each other. There’s a shorthand, and it’s funny,” as reported by Cosmopolitan.
To which Fey Added, “Tracy, Lang, and I have talked about the show being 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.”
She continued, “Sometimes when you are struggling with something with just your spouse, you need a group of friends to bring humour to it. Those friendships really help marriages, I think. Having a person who just fulfills a part of you that your spouse can’t quite [fulfill] is very important.”
