The series 'The Four Seasons' explores the complex dynamics of friendship among three married couples, whose tradition of quarterly weekend getaways is disrupted by one couple's divorce.

The show's creators made a deliberate choice to kill off a character, Nick, to emphasize the real-life stakes faced by individuals as they age, such as the unexpected death of peers.

Tracey Wigfield explains that the inclusion of death in the storyline aligns with the show’s focus on authentic relationships and life’s challenges, reflecting both the positive and negative aspects of long-term friendships.

The pregnancy announcement by a character named Ginny introduces new possibilities for the narrative, potentially setting the stage for a second season, though specific plotlines have not been developed yet.

Lang Fisher and Tracey Wigfield express enthusiasm for a potential second season, intending to retain the original cast and the core concept of seasonal trips, while humorously entertaining the idea of setting the story in space.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!

In the Netflix series, the decades-long friendship between three married couples is tested when one divorces, complicating their tradition of quarterly weekend getaways.

“It was a decision we thought about a lot,” co-creator Tracey Wigfield said to TVLine about the choice to kill off Nick.

“But it did seem like the right kind of thing, because when we pitched the show initially, we were very clear about: It’s a human scale show. There’s no murderer on the loose. It’s the stakes of real life. But when you’re middle-aged, the stakes of life do include death.”

She added that “a lot of times, it’s a parent who is dying… and sometimes, a friend your age dies as well. So if our show is all about these long relationships and these friendships that see you through all of it, the good and the bad, it did feel correct to have that be included in our story.”

With Ginny announcing that she’s pregnant, there seemed to be room for another season.

“We would love to write a Season 2, if they want one,” co-creator Lang Fisher said. She and the writers “have no ideas for what it would be yet,” although Tracey added: “Well, we have some ideas!”

“We do know that we would bring the core cast back,” Lang said.

“It wouldn’t be, like, an anthology. We would keep our group because I think that’s what makes the show so great, this particular group. You’d know there would be four trips” and “still the same four seasons.”

She jokingly added: “It could be in space!”
