Could Steve Carell return in The Four Seasons Season 2? Here’s what the series creator revealed

The Four Seasons starring Steve Carell is a Netflix comedy series co-created by Tina Fey, Tracey Wigfield, and Lang Fisher. It is based on the 1981 film by the same name by Alan Alda, which explores what unfolds when a group of longtime friends go for a vacation together.

The group dynamic is shaken when Nick, played by Steve Carell, leaves his wife Anne and starts dating Ginny, a much younger woman. This leads to a chain of events for Kate and Jack, with Danny and his husband Claude. The show has been renewed for season 2, and the maker, Tina Fey, speaks with Deadline about Nick's fate in the upcoming season. She revealed that Nick is going to die in season 2. When she revealed this to Steve, his reaction reflected how it keeps happening with actors:

“Oh, why does this keep happening to me?” said Steve to Fey.

Here is what Tina Fey said about Steve Carell's return in The Four Seasons season 2

As mentioned, Tina Fey, while speaking with Deadline, revealed that Steve will be dead in The Four Seasons, season 2. Steve responded with a question expressing how this keeps happening to him, while Fey asserted that she would like to keep it the same, regardless:

"I think we had all that pitched out and ready to pitch to him before he even signed on. And so we pitched out the whole season to him, and he was like, “Oh, why does this keep happening to me?” And so, I was like, “Oh no. But I was like, but I think I still want it to happen to you. Sorry.” "

She added how the actor and the crew together had such a great time while filming:

"And of course, he had such a good time. I think we all had such a great time together. And we had a really funny group text chain that when we got picked up for Season 2, everyone was like, “Yay, hooray, blah, blah.” And then five minutes after everything, Steve just wrote, “I’m dead."”"

Fey also teased the possibility of Steve Carell appearing in a flashback in The Four Seasons, despite his character having left the group:

"I couldn’t possibly say (if there will be a flashback). We have our format. I mean, of the many mistakes I’ve made in my career, killing him will hopefully go down as the biggest."

Along with Steve's character's fate in The Four Seasons, she revealed that the Season 2 writers' room has been open for a month, and the team is actively working together. The team is entirely using the creative liberty without making major references to the book. They have their original writers back and are moving forward with an original story for season 2. Tina Fey also spoke about how comedy is evolving, especially in an age where humour is expected to have more emotional nuance and real-world grounding.
