Tina Fey speaks about the essence of The Four Seasons
While talking to Tudum on January 30, 2025, about the televison adaptation of the classic romcom, writer Tina Fey spoke about the essence of the story she is trying to tell through the project. She said that the show itself is a "love letter" to relationships as a whole. She spoke about how someone may be struggling with their marriage and every now and then, they might need some levity in their lives—friendship.
Fey added that the show would be all about friendships, highlighting its importance in life. She mentioned:
“Tracey, Lang, and I have talked about the show being a love letter to long-term relationships, both platonic and romantic,” said Fey.
Tine Fey continued:
"Because your life is ideally more than just the person you’re married to. Sometimes when you are struggling with something with just your spouse, you need a group of friends to bring humor to it. Those friendships really help marriages, I think. Having a person who just fulfills a part of you that your spouse can’t quite [fulfill] is very important.”
What was the original The Four Seasons film about?
Released in April 1981, the original film was directed by Alan Alda with him starring in the film as well. It focused on the lives three couples and the drama that took place between them. The synopsis of the film as per IMDb reads:
"Witty character study of three couples who vacation together each season. After one divorces, feelings of betrayal and more spawn criticisms of one another, but things that unite them are stronger than those which might pull them apart."
It is unclear as of now whether the show will follow the same route. However, for further updates on it, stay tuned with us.
