Tina Fey Reveals ‘The Four Seasons’ Format For Season 2, Addresses If Steve Carell Could Return


Tina Fey talks the format for ‘The Four Seasons’ Season 2, addresses If Steve Carell could return and how the comedy industry is evolving

Based on Alan Alda’s 1981 film in which he starred with Carol Burnett, Fey and co-creators Tracey Wigfield and Lang Fisher’s reimagining tracks the fallout among the friends when Steve Carell ’s character Nick leaves his wife Anne (Kerri Kenney) and finds love with the much younger Ginny (Erika Henningson). And Sandy Dennis is so incredible, and I understand absolutely why Alan Alda wrote it that way for the movie, because it is kind of beautifully painful and it sometimes it’s what happens when you’re friends with a couple and then just one of them just drifts. And it’s not my first rodeo, there were practical things about it: I would love to work with this ensemble of actors in comfortable locations wearing sweaters with almost no day players and no guest stars, and sitting down and eating on camera.
