Netflix Renews Tina Fey’s The Four Seasons for Season 3

The streamer kept the show in production to preserve the existing creative team and cast despite a marked drop in early Season 2 viewership.

Overview

  • Netflix announced the Season 3 pickup for eight episodes on June 15 at the Banff World Media Festival, with Jinny Howe, the streamer’s head of scripted series, making the onstage announcement.
  • The core Season 2 ensemble is reported to return, and Erika Henningsen is expected back as a series regular, signaling continuity in casting and character arcs.
  • Season 3 will match the first two runs with eight episodes split into four two-episode seasonal arcs, following the show’s established format.
  • The renewal comes despite reports that Season 2 opened with a roughly 63% week‑one viewership decline versus Season 1, a gap outlets cited when noting Netflix’s recent tendency to renew certain comedies even after audience drops.
  • David Tennant’s surprise cameo at the end of Season 2 has been positioned as a seeded hook for future stories, though sources say no formal deal is currently in place and his return remains unconfirmed.
