Inside The Four Seasons Season 2 Destinations The Four Seasons, Tina Fey’s comedy series exploring middle-aged friendship, marriage, and the chaos of group trips, has returned for a second season on Netflix. The eight-episode season follows the lives of couples Kate and Jack (Fey and Will Forte), Danny and Claude (Colman Domingo and Marco Calvani), along with bereaved Anne (Kerri Kenney) and pregnant Ginny (Erika Henningsen), as they embark on vacations to the Catskills and Hudson Valley, the Jersey Shore, and Italy. Production designer Sharon Lomofsky and set decorator Jennifer Greenberg reveal how the show’s locations were meticulously recreated to reflect the characters’ journeys. The first episode takes the group to the Catskills for a spring trip to scatter the ashes of Nick (Steve Carell). Due to plot-driven challenges, the characters find themselves locked in the main building of the Midnight Ramble, a 1950s-style motel. While the real-life Blue Fox Motel in Narrowsburg, New York, served as a double for the setting, the production team had to reimagine its interior to match the show’s midcentury aesthetic. Greenberg sourced vintage finds from Hudson Valley thrift stores, including atomic lamps and MCM furniture, to create the motel’s retro vibe. The restaurant area, which was supposed to be empty in the script, was transformed into a listening bar with records and headphones, inspired by trendy Tribeca venues. A wall of old radios and a cozy hearth added to the ambiance. The guest rooms, built on a soundstage, featured murals of howling wolves and the night sky to enhance the eerie, isolated atmosphere. For the summer episode, the group travels to the Jersey Shore, where they explore Jenkinson’s Boardwalk in Point Pleasant Beach and rent an Airbnb on Ocean Grove’s scenic Ocean Pathway.#will_forte #colman_domingo #four_seasons #tina_fey #marco_calvani
Sunny Nights: D’Arcy Carden Praises Will Forte, First-Time Actor Willie Mason D’Arcy Carden, known for her roles in “The Good Place,” “Broad City,” and “A League of Their Own,” recently starred alongside Will Forte in the comedy-drama “Sunny Nights,” which premiered in Australia in December and is now available on Hulu. The series, co-created by Nick Keetch and Ty Freer, follows two siblings who move to Sydney to launch their spray tan business, only to find themselves entangled in dangerous situations. Carden shared her thoughts on the project, the cast, and the experience of filming abroad. Carden described the process of working with Forte as “unbelievably natural,” despite the pair having never met before. The two comedians, who share a hometown in the Bay Area, formed an instant bond during filming. “The world was pushing us together,” she said, noting that their shared comedic sensibilities created a seamless dynamic. Carden expressed admiration for Forte, calling him “one of the genuinely nicest people” and highlighting his generosity and warmth. She emphasized that his comedic talent was secondary to his kindness, which made their collaboration feel effortless. The show also features first-time actor Willie Mason, a former rugby league player, in a pivotal role. Carden described Mason’s presence on set as almost legendary, with crew members treating him like a celebrity. “Every single person on our set, on the street, anywhere we went with him, treated him like he was a God,” she said, adding that Mason’s natural talent and ease in front of the camera made him a joy to work with. Despite his fame, Mason remained humble, even stepping away from a crowded rugby game to avoid overwhelming fans. Carden praised the show’s blend of humor and darkness, calling it a “dark comedy with mystery and a lot of blood.#d_arcy_carden #will_forte #willie_mason #sunny_nights #stan
