Ratings drop? What ratings drop? Netflix clearly isn’t bothered, because despite The Four Seasons Season 2 pulling in significantly fewer viewers than its debut, the streamer has gone ahead and greenlit Season 3. And honestly? Good. This ensemble comedy deserves to keep going.

What Is The Four Seasons About?
The Four Seasons is a Netflix Original comedy series co-created by Tina Fey, Lang Fisher, and Tracy Wigfield, adapted from Alan Alda’s 1981 comedy film of the same name. The dynamics of a group of six friends who regularly vacation together are thrown into chaos when Nick divorces his wife of 25 years, Anne, and soon finds a much younger woman who joins him on subsequent trips. Think friendship, midlife reinvention, and the kind of awkward group dynamics that feel painfully real. whats-on-netflix
The Ratings Story — And Why Netflix Renewed It Anyway
Let’s not sugarcoat it — the numbers took a hit. Season 2 saw a 63% drop in week 1 viewership compared to its debut season. Previously, this would have been a nail in the coffin for a Netflix Original, but in recent years, comedy shows have become a major exception. whats-on-netflix
The viewership comparison tells the full story:
| Season | Week 1 Views | Week 2 Views | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Season 1 | 11.9 million | 12.5 million | 24.4 million |
| Season 2 | 4.4 million | 5.7 million | 10.1 million |
Despite the drop, Season 2 reached the Top 10 in 56 countries and had enough staying power to drive Season 1 back onto the chart, securing its third season. Loyal fanbases matter more than opening week numbers now.
What’s Coming in Season 3?
Every couple ended Season 2 at a crossroads. Claude wants to return to Italy while Danny is stuck caring for his elderly mother in America — a tension that could fracture their relationship further. Kate and Jack finally confessed their love after completing a marathon in Italy together, with their marriage seemingly back on track. Anne, meanwhile, is house-sitting in Italy and had a surprise meet-cute with a man named Gianpiero — played by David Tennant — who has been receiving her mail after she lied about having a fictional Italian boyfriend of the same name. Life truly is stranger than fiction.
Co-creators Tina Fey, Lang Fisher, and Tracey Wigfield said they were “thrilled to bring a third season to life,” cheekily adding: “Middle-aged people, LFG!”
