Will Forte added to the cast of Netflix comedy series The Four Seasons

Will Forte is the latest addition to Netflix's The Four Seasons. Forte (photo below) can be seen as a regular actor in the comedy series based on Universal's 1981 feature film. He joins other regular cast members Tina Fey, Steve Carell, Colman Domingo, Erika Henningsen and Kerri Kenney-Silver. Details about their roles are still being kept under wraps.



The Four Seasons is co-created by 30 Rock creator and lead actress Fey, and 30 Rock writers Lang Fisher and Tracey Wigfield.

The series is based on the 1981 film written and directed by Alan Alda, produced by Martin Bregman and starring Alda and Carol Burnett. Production on the series will begin later this year.

The Four Seasons television series is written by Fey, Fisher and Wigfield, who are producing alongside David Miner, Eric Gurian and Jeff Richmond. Alda and Marissa Bregman will produce. Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, is the producing studio. Fey's Little Stranger, Inc. is the production company.

In addition to Alda and Burnett, Len Cariou, Sandy Dennis, Rita Moreno, Jack Weston and Bess Armstrong starred in the film The Four Seasons. The title is derived from the four concertos by Antonio Vivaldi. These compositions, together with other works by Vivaldi, form the musical score.

The film led to a short-lived 1994 CBS series produced by Alda.

Forte, a Saturday Night Live actor known for his title role in the McGruber comedy franchise and for his Fox series The Last Man on Earth, was recently seen in Netflix's Bodkin series, produced by Barack and Michelle Obama's Higher Ground. In addition to voicing Wolf Tobin in Fox's The Great North, he recently voiced the character Otis for Netflix's Thelma the Unicorn and Coach Dan in Disney+'s Pixar's Win or Lose.
