Netflix has officially confirmed that production for Season 3 of its comedy series The Four Seasons began on September 23, 2026. The announcement was accompanied by a behind-the-scenes image featuring the core returning ensemble, signaling a swift return to filming following the Season 2 finale cliffhanger.
The new season marks a significant shift for David Tennant, who is joining the cast in a recurring role as Gianpiero. Tennant initially appeared in a surprise one-minute cameo during the Season 2 finale as a neighbor met by Anne (Kerri Kenney-Silver) in Italy. His character is expected to serve as a potential love interest for Anne, as his role was expanded following creator enthusiasm for his introduction.
The released image showcases the primary cast on set, including Tina Fey, Colman Domingo, Will Forte, Erika Henningsen, Marco Calvani, and Kerri Kenney-Silver. The series, created by Fey, Lang Fisher, and Tracey Wigfield, serves as a modern adaptation of the 1981 Alan Alda film. While Netflix has not provided a full plot synopsis for the upcoming installment, the story is anticipated to integrate Tennant’s character into the established group dynamic.
Production Timeline and New Locations
Filming for the third season is scheduled for a relatively short window, with a wrap date targeted for mid-December 2026. This production schedule suggests that Season 3 of The Four Seasons will likely debut in 2027. The new episodes are expected to follow the eight-episode format established in previous seasons.
While the series has previously featured international backdrops like Italy, at least part of the new production is taking place in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The shift in location coincides with the show’s premise of changing seasonal adventures and relationship shifts among the core group of friends.
The renewal for a third season comes as Netflix cites strong reception for the series. Although industry discussions have noted varying viewership trends for the comedy, the platform’s decision to move forward with production immediately following the second season indicates confidence in the project’s longevity and the addition of Tennant to the recurring cast.
