    Netflix's The Four Seasons gives an expanded update to a classic friendship comedy. Created by Tina Fey and 30 Rock alums Lang Fisher and Tracey Wigfield, the feel-good show is based on Alan Alda's 1981 comedy of the same name, following a longtime friend group comprised of three middle-aged couples as they reunite for four vacations. When one of the couples finds 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—try to count the Emmys and Golden Globes among them. With season 2 arriving on May 28, read on for everything to know about the cast of the comedy series The Four Seasons.

    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 her friends know she's as sarcastic as she is loyal, sometimes she can get a bit overbearing.

    Interior decorator Danny is a carefree, globe-trotting creative. He's known for his polished wardrobe and 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.

    Colman Domingo, 56, is a Philadelphia-born actor, playwright, and director with a prolific career across TV, film, and theater. His most well-known screen roles include Victor Strand in Fear 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).

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

In 2024, he released his acclaimed debut feature film High Tide, which starred Marisa Tomei and his husband, Brazilian actor Marco Pigossi.

(Fun fact: Calvani is real-life friends with Colman and his husband, Raúl Domingo, and Raúl recommended Calvani for the Four Seasons role.)
