Tina Fey has another hit on her hands with The Four Seasons on Netflix, which has just been renewed for a second season.
The comedy-drama series follows a group of friends as they take trips together over the course of one year, all of which are impacted by the sudden divorce of one of the three couples.
Nick (Steve Carell) absolutely stuns Anne (Kerri Kenney) with the news that he wants to separate, which provokes the other members of the clique to assess and scrutinise their own long-term marriages.
Inspired by the Alan Alda film of the same name, The Four Seasons takes its shock twist ending in an entirely different direction to the original, which should allow it to chart its own path in the now-confirmed second chapter.
If you're excited for more, read on for everything we know so far about The Four Seasons season 2 on Netflix.
The Four Seasons season 2 release date speculation
The Four Seasons has been renewed for a second season on Netflix, with the decision being announced a mere two weeks after the first episodes dropped to huge ratings.
That said, no release date or window has been announced for the project just yet, so it's unclear how long we'll be waiting to discover what the next chapter has in store.
Given that the show is a relatively small-scale character drama, its production cycle could potentially turn around quite quickly, but factors like the availability of The Four Seasons' cast and the scouting of locations should be taken into account.
With that in mind, we'd predict that The Four Seasons season 2 could arrive within 12-18 months, which would place it in summer or autumn 2026 – but that's just an estimate for the time being.
Prior to the show's formal renewal, co-creator Lang Fisher had said that she and her collaborators already had "ideas" for future stories, having converted the show from a closed-ended miniseries to a continuing drama during production.
Co-creator and star Tina Fey explained (via The Hollywood Reporter): "I think we were encouraged to stay open to [season 2], as well. It is so human in its scale, and I think humans are going to be around for… at least 15 more years."
The Four Seasons season 2 cast speculation
You can expect most of The Four Seasons cast to reprise their roles in season 2, including Tina Fey and Will Forte as lead couple Kate and Jack, who weathered some marital turmoil in the first chapter.
Kerri Kenney is also likely to reprise her role as divorced (and recently widowed) Anne, with Colman Domingo and Marco Calvani as her loyal friends Danny and Claude, who are also married.
The main cast of The Four Seasons also includes Erika Henningsen as the younger girlfriend of Nick (Steve Carell), who he met shortly after leaving Anne shocked by his request for a divorce.
Comedy icon Carell would be the sole absence as his character was shockingly killed off at the end of season 1's penultimate episode, with co-creator Fey explaining the decision in an interview with TV Insider.
"We wanted something to happen that was human-scale, but also meaningful," she began. "We're getting to an age where that happens. If someone our age dies… It's sad, but not that shocking.
"So we decided, as painful as it was, that we would let that happen and see what that did to the other characters."
Here's a reminder of The Four Seasons cast members who could return for season 2.

According to past comments by the co-creators, The Four Seasons season 2 will return to the same friendship group as they deal with new challenges – including moving on after Nick's tragic death.
Co-creator Lang Fisher rejected the suggestion that the show could introduce a different group in the style of The White Lotus, telling The Hollywood Reporter that "I don’t think we would do it ever as an anthology".
She added: "I think you want to see these particular characters."
Fellow writer Tracey Wigfield concurred, revealing that Erika Henningsen's Ginny would also remain a part of the show despite the death of Nick, who was her initial entry-point into the group (comprised of friends two decades her senior).
She explained: "If we did another season, we would want the same group of friends, and we'd want Ginny to really be tied in there because she and Anne are going to have children who are siblings. And it just gives us a lot to play with in their relationship."
