Netflix's romantic comedy series The Four Seasons made its premiere on May 1. The series based on the 1980s film of the same name, which will be available to stream on Netflix beginning May 5, makes some changes to the story and characters. But even if you haven't seen the Alan Alda movie yet, you might still be a bit confused about who's who, who's married to who, and how they're all friends.
Long story short, the series centers on a group of six friends who are all divided into three married couples. They have been friends for decades and are starting to go through some ebbs and flows. As for the cast, you have most definitely seen famous faces like Tina Fey, Steve Carell, and Colman Domingo before. We're sharing what to know about the cast and characters below!

Steve Carell and Kerri Kenney-Silver star in The Four Seasons as married couple Nick and Anne. Together they share a college-aged daughter named Lila (Julia Lester). In the first episode, Nick and Anne are celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary, though the pair ultimately divorces. They are largely seen as the rock of the group that holds them all together.
Carell's obviously best known for his role as Michael Scott in The Office, as well as roles in titles like The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Anchorman, Foxcatcher, Date Night, and The Morning Show. Kenney-Silver co-created and starred in Reno 911! and has appeared in a number of television shows and movies including The Ellen Show, Fun Size, Love, and Superstore.

Tina Fey and Will Forte play Kate and Jack, next married couple in The Four Seasons, and they are also experiencing something marital problems. They also have a college-aged daughter and are alluded to have at least one other child. Kate and Jack met in college and have been married as long, if not longer, than Nick and Anne.

Danny and Claude tend to tease the group about having another group of friends within the LGBTQ+ community.
Domingo has earned two Academy Award nominations for his performances in Rustin and Sing Sing and won an Emmy Award for his performance in Euphoria. He's also starred in The Birth of a Nation, If Beale Street Could Talk, The Color Purple, Fear the Walking Dead, and Netflix's The Madness.
