The Four Seasons is a comedy miniseries created by Tina Fey, Lang Fisher, and Tracey Wigfield. It was released on Netflix on May 1, 2025. The film takes its name from the iconic music piece by the Italian composer, Antonio Vivaldi. The same music has been used throughout the series.
The series is based on the 1981 film of the same name by Alan Alda that had Carol Burnett, Len Cariou, Sandy Dennis, and Rita Moreno in prominent roles. The story is about three couples from New York City, who have been best friends for years and have a tradition of taking quarterly weekend getaways. However, when one couple calls their marriage off, things get complicated.
The series has been mostly shot in various counties of New York State, while some of the vacation scenes were shot in Puerto Rico.
Tina Fey, Lang Fisher, and Tracey Wigfield are also the executive producers of the series, along with Jeff Richmond, Eric Gurian, and David Miner. It stars Tina Fey, Will Forte, Steve Carell, Colman Domingo, Kerri Kenney-Silver, and Marco Calvani in prominent roles.
The latest Netflix venture has some big names attached to it, both in front and behind the camera. Tina Fey has worn multiple hats in this project. Below are the details of the shooting locations of the series:
The production crew made the most out of New York State by shooting the series in different counties. Three out of the four seasons were shot in the Hudson Valley, from Westchester County to the Capital District. The region is known for its different landscapes, from green valleys to forest areas, to snowy hills; everything is available in the region. Most of the scenes which feature in the first two episodes were filmed in the valley, showing the serenity of the place during spring season.
Another major shooting location was Putnam County, which is also known as the 'Town of Lakes.' The prime spots in the county were Kent, Philipstown, and Cold Spring village. The crew also went to the village of Warwick and the city of Newburgh in Orange County to film several scenes. The ski trip scenes were shot at Mount Peter.
The summer season was filmed in December 2024 in Puerto Rico, specifically in the Palomino Island of Fajardo. It is home to one of the largest marinas in the Caribbean, Puerto del Rey. The characters stayed at the luxurious El Conquistador resort, located at 1000 Avenida El Conquistador, which was fictionalized into the El Corinado Hotel and Spa.
