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.
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 her friends know she's as sarcastic as she is loyal, sometimes she can get a bit overbearing.
Tina Fey, 56, worked on Saturday Night Live from 1997 to 2006; during her tenure, she became SNL's first female head writer and 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 Steve Carell), 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 is also the co-writer behind the Mean Girls franchise, including the beloved '00s 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, 55, is a prolific actor and comedian who was previously a cast member on Saturday Night Live from 2002 to 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.

Colman Domingo as Danny
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). With Rustin, Domingo became the first Afro-Latino to receive a Best Actor nomination, as well as the first American openly gay man to receive an Oscar nom for playing a gay character.

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 caring for Danny after a health scare, making their relationship more smothering than sexy.
Marco Calvani, 45, was born in Tuscany, Italy, and started as an actor before dedicating his career to directing and playwriting. In 2024, he released his acclaimed debut feature film High Tide, which starred Marisa Tomei and his husband, Brazilian actor Marco Pigossi. Earlier this year, he starred alongside Regé-Jean Page and Halle Bailey in the rom-com You, Me, and Tuscany. (Fun fact: Calvani is real-life friends with Colman and his husband, Raúl Domingo, and Raúl recommended Calvani for the Four Seasons role.)
