A second season of Netflix’s The Four Seasons would certainly be possible thanks to the show’s biggest change from the original movie’s ending. Adapted from the 1981 comedy movie by Alan Alda, The Four Seasons follows three different couples who have been friends for years, reuniting for a weekend vacation at a lakehouse, but their relaxing getaway is impacted by the news that one couple is planning to separate. The cast of The Four Seasons includes Steve Carell, Colman Domingo, Will Forte, Marco Calvani, Erika Henningsen, and Tina Fey, who served as the series’ co-creator.

Since its debut on Netflix, The Four Seasons has been widely praised by critics and viewers as a cleverly modern retelling of the 1981 movie. Most Reviews of The Four Seasons have praised the series for how it handles the mixture of humor and tragedy and the charming chemistry between the cast. The Four Seasons has quickly risen to become one of the most-watched shows on Netflix right now, and a second season could certainly happen thanks to the series’ finale, which is notably different from the 1981 movie.

The Four Seasons Season 2 Would Be Completely Different From Season 1 After Nick’s Death

The Four Seasons Ended With The Group Coping With Nick’s Death & Ginny’s Pregnancy

Throughout The Four Seasons, the group of friends must deal with unexpected changes in their families that can test their friendships. The show depicts the ups and downs of how couples interact with each other and the impact of change. Across the series, the friends take different vacations across the four seasons, which see them struggle to adapt to the changes in their lives. By the end of The Four Seasons, the group is learning to cope with Nick’s unexpected death in a car accident.

A second season of The Four Seasons would allow the opportunity to explore what happens to the group after Nick’s death, an event that didn’t happen in the original 1981 movie. The first season ended with the announcement of Ginny’s pregnancy and the group moving on from the tragic events, which could serve as the basis for a potential season 2. While it may be done in the same format with the group going on vacations together, the changes made from the movie give the potential second season of The Four Seasons more to explore thematically and help it avoid being a rehash of season 1.

Any possibility of The Four Seasons receiving a second season depends on its success and popularity with viewers on Netflix. The series’ co-creator, Tracey Wigfield, is hopeful about a second season, telling TV Insider that if it were to be greenlit by Netflix, they would potentially use season 2 of The Four Seasons to explore the aftermath of Nick’s death and how it impacts the rest of the group. Wigfield described the decision to kill Nick as “a big move,” but it allowed “something to happen that was human scale.”

As The Four Seasons has only recently been released on the streaming platform, it is too early to say whether season 2 will happen. While Netflix usually waits several weeks to announce any renewals, there have been a few occasions where they have announced early renewals, as seen with the announcement of Nobody Wants This season 2. While nothing has been confirmed yet, The Four Seasons has the right tools to make a potential season 2 successful.
