What happens when three longtime couples go on four seasonal vacations together? Apparently—chaos, heartbreak, romance, yelling in nature, and some hilariously relatable breakdowns. The Four Seasons (2025) on Netflix brings us eight episodes of snark, heart, and deep-fried friendship tension, led by Tina Fey and Steve Carell. It’s funny, romantic, and a little too real (like “wait, are we the problem?” real).
The Plot: Group Trip or Group Therapy?
Based on the 1981 Alan Alda film, The Four Seasons introduces us to six friends—three married couples—who’ve vacationed together for years. Things go sideways when Nick (Steve Carell) decides to casually drop the “I’m divorcing Anne” bomb on a spring getaway. Cue awkward silences, frozen smiles, and a new girlfriend entering the chat by summer. Each season gets two episodes, and yes—every one ends with a twist that’ll make you gasp or awkward-laugh. You’ll start judging everyone, then immediately relate to all of them.
The Cast: Elite Chaos Energy
Tina Fey as Kate is peak Type-A stress ball with amazing one-liners. Steve Carell’s Nick? Unfiltered, unbothered, and midlife-crisis-ing with style. Rounding out the chaos: Colman Domingo (Danny), Will Forte (Jack), Kerri Kenney-Silver (Anne), and Marco Calvani (Claude). Oh, and there’s a guest spot from Alan Alda—yes, the original movie guy! The Four Seasons cast absolutely nails the passive-aggressive brunch energy.
Why It Works: Therapy in a Time-Share
This isn’t just Netflix streaming comedy—this is emotionally cathartic television. It’s a hilarious but honest look at aging friendships, love, and the fine art of conflict over Chardonnay. You’ll laugh and cringe. You’ll even text your group chat “are we okay?” The Four Seasons isn’t just a show—it’s an intervention wrapped in wit.
Final Thoughts
The Four Seasons is one of those feel-good Netflix comedies 2025 that hits harder than you expect. It’s charming, it’s messy, and it proves once again that vacations don’t fix people—but they sure expose them. Add it to your watchlist and prepare to cancel any future couples retreats.
