Netflix Renews “The Four Seasons” for Season 3, With Returning Cast and David Tennant in Talks

Netflix has renewed its comedy series “The Four Seasons” for a third season, continuing the streamer’s focus on relationship and family life among adults in midlife. The renewal was announced Monday morning on stage at the BANFF World Media Festival, where Jinny Howe, Netflix’s Head of Scripted Series for US and Canada, delivered the news.

Created by Tina Fey, Lang Fisher, and Tracey Wigfield, “The Four Seasons” follows a group of characters as their personal and romantic lives evolve across the different stages of adulthood. Netflix’s announcement frames the next installment as an extension of the show’s exploration of middle-age relationships, with the production slated to proceed with the same core cast returning for season three.

Netflix also indicated that David Tennant is likely to be added to the series. The announcement did not specify his role in the reported brief, but the indication that he could join the ensemble positions him as a new high-profile addition to the show’s next cycle, alongside the already confirmed plan for the returning cast.

The show’s creative leadership remains unchanged for the renewal. Fey, Fisher, and Wigfield are credited as creators of the series, and the renewal indicates that Netflix intends to maintain the same writing and production framework that has shaped the current season’s tone and storytelling approach.

The renewal announcement at BANFF underscores the festival’s role as a global industry venue where studios and streamers communicate slate decisions to buyers, journalists, and international partners. Netflix’s platform is using the festival setting to publicly confirm that “The Four Seasons” will continue into a third season, an action that typically allows additional planning for casting, production scheduling, and international distribution.

For viewers, the decision means the series will return after season two, with the main ensemble expected to pick up where it left off. For the cast and crew, the renewal provides continuity of employment and production timelines, though specific start dates and production milestones were not detailed in the report.

Netflix’s planned addition of a major name such as Tennant, if it proceeds as indicated, could also affect marketing and audience reach for season three. The reported account describes Tennant as “likely,” leaving room for confirmation of the final casting decision, contractual terms, and the character’s arc before audiences see him on screen.
