Steve Carrell Joins Netflix’s Four Seasons Cast Opposite Tina Fey

Steve Carell is joining The Four Seasons, starring alongside Tina Fey in the upcoming Netflix series.

The show is based on the 1981 movie of the same name, which starred Alan Alda, Carol Burnett, and Rita Moreno, and told the story of an unexpected development in a close-knit group of friends and how that group comes to handle that development. The series was first announced in January and will begin production later this year.

Carrell is known for his role as Michael Scott in the NBC comedy The Office. He’s also had roles on television shows such as The Morning Show, The Patient, and Space Force. He is an eleven-time Emmy nominee, with his most recent nod coming in 2020 for The Morning Show.

Carrell is also an Oscar nominee, receiving a nomination for his role in Foxcatcher. His other film credits include The 40-Year-Old Virgin, The Big Short, and Seeking a Friend for the End of the World. Carrell also previously starred alongside Fey in the action comedy Date Night. His next projects include If, an animated family movie directed by John Krasinski.
