Meet the Cast of Netflix's 'The Four Seasons'

Netflix's new series The Four Seasons gives a classic friendship comedy an expanded update. Created by Tina Fey and 30 Rock alums Lang Fisher and Tracey Wigfield, the eight-episode show is based on Alan Alda's 1981 comedy film of the same name, and follows a longtime friend group comprised of three middle-aged couples as they reunite for four vacations. When one of the couples find themselves on the rocks, all six of the friends have to reckon with the lives they've built and the choices they continue to make.

To tell this story, Netflix gathered a troupe of TV and film legends—just try and count the Emmys and Golden Globes among them—as well as some talented young Broadway stars. Below, read on for everything to know about the cast of The Four Seasons.

Tina Fey as Kate

Kate is the glue that holds the friendship together: She and Jack are college sweethearts, Danny is practically her brother, and Nick is Jack's former co-worker who joined the group decades ago. Though his friends know she's as sarcastic as she is loyal, sometimes she can get a bit overbearing.

Tina Fey, 54, worked on Saturday Night Live from 1997 to 2006; during her tenure, she became SNL's first female head writer, and also served as a cast member and co-anchor of Weekend Update. After SNL, she co-created and starred in the acclaimed NBC comedy 30 Rock, and starred in projects like Date Night (co-starring Will Ferrell), Sisters, and Only Murders in the Building. She has co-created and executive-produced shows including Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Great News, Girls5eva, and Mr. Mayor. She also the co-writer behind the Mean Girls franchise, including the 2004 film, the 2018 stage musical, and the 2024 movie musical.

Will Forte as Jack

Jack, a sweet and earnest history teacher, has been in love with his wife Kate since college. Though he tries to take life as it comes and keep a positive attitude, he's not the best at handling uncomfortable situations.

Will Forte, 54, is a prolific actor and comedian who was previously a cast member on Saturday Night Live from 2002-2010. Outside of SNL, he's best known for the 2010 film and 2021 TV show MacGruber, based on his original character of the same name, as well as the post-apocalyptic comedy The Last Man on Earth and the Netflix crime series Bodkin. In addition to overlapping at SNL for four years, he and Fey previously worked together on 30 Rock and the 2008 comedy Baby Mama.

Steve Carell as Nick

Steve and his wife of 30 years, Nancy Carell, co-created the TBS sitcom Angie Tribeca.

Kerri Kenney-Silver as Anne

Colman Domingo as Danny

Interior decorator Danny is a carefree, globe-trotting creative, who's best known for his polished wardrobe and his adorable relationship with his husband Claude. Though he's close with the entire group, he and Kate know each other the best—and at times get on each other's nerves the most.

His most well-known screen roles include Victor Strand in Fear of the Walking Dead, Ali in Euphoria (for which he won an Emmy), Bayard Rustin in Rustin (his first Oscar nomination), and John "Divine G" Whitfield in Sing Sing (his second Oscar nom).

A few days after The Four Seasons' premiere, Domingo will serve as a co-chair for the 2025 Met Gala.

Marco Calvani as Claude

Claude is Danny's caring Italian husband, and the men have built a lovely life together. However, Claude devotes himself to taking care of Danny after a health scare, which makes their relationship more smothering than sexy.

Marco Calvani, 44, was born in Tuscany, Italy, and started out as an actor before dedicating his career to directing and playwriting. Last year, he released his acclaimed debut feature film High Tide, which starred Marisa Tomei and his husband, Brazilian actor Marco Pigossi.
