If you’ve been keeping up with the group chat, you can officially tell your friends to start packing their bags again. Just over two weeks after dropping its second season, Netflix has officially renewed the star-studded comedy-drama series The Four Seasons for an eight-episode third season.
The news was broken by Jinny Howe, Netflix’s head of scripted series for the U.S. and Canada, during a fireside chat at the BANFF World Media Festival.
For fans of sharp wit, middle-aged existential crises, and beautiful holiday backdrops, the renewal ensures that television’s favorite, wonderfully chaotic friend group isn’t breaking up anytime soon.
Following the announcement, the show’s powerhouse trio of co-creators, executive producers, and co-showrunners, Tina Fey, Lang Fisher, and Tracey Wigfield, released a characteristically hilarious joint statement celebrating the pick-up.
“We are thrilled to be able to bring a third season of The Four Seasons to life,” the showrunners said. “Thank you to everyone who watched. Middle-aged people, LFG!”
The series, which is a modern adaptation of Alan Alda‘s beloved 1981 film of the same name, has resonated with audiences since its 2025 debut. Focusing on three couples who navigate the shifting tides of life, love, and long-term friendship through quarterly vacations, the dramedy mixes laugh-out-loud humor with genuine emotional weight.
Season 2, which premiered on May 28, followed the core group, Kate (Fey), Jack (Will Forte), Anne (Kerri Kenney-Silver), Danny (Colman Domingo), Claude (Marco Calvani), and Ginny (Erika Henningsen), as they carried on their vacation traditions from the Jersey Shore to the sweeping landscapes of Italy, all while navigating a new baby and mourning the loss of their late friend Nick (played in flashbacks by Steve Carell).
While the official itinerary for Season 3 is being kept strictly under wraps, the cast has already begun playfully manifesting where they want to go next. During press runs for the second season, Calvani and Domingo joked about exploring Danny and Claude’s “other, hotter, gay friend group” and taking the rest of the straight characters along for the ride.
Meanwhile, Kenney-Silver noted that the location itself doesn’t even matter compared to the joy of working with the ensemble. “We have all agreed that even if we have to sit in a basement in Dayton, Ohio, we will be thrilled,” she joked.
