The Four Seasons: Steve Carell's Humorous Response and Emotional Return in Season 2
Steve Carell had a humorous response to his Four Seasons co-stars when the show was renewed for a second season. Kerri Kenney-Silver shared that the cast had two group chats, one from filming season 1 in Puerto Rico and another after the season 2 pickup, excluding Carell, whose character dies in season 1. Tina Fey started a new chat without Carell to avoid making him feel left out.
Will Forte mentioned that they didn't want to bother Carell with their second-season plans and texts but would still include him in the main chat when necessary. The second season features Forte, Fey, Kenney-Silver, Colman Domingo, Erika Henningsen, and Marco Calvani. Carell makes a return in a flashback in episode 6, "Little Thanksgiving," which brought joy to the cast.
Kenney-Silver expressed how important Carell's presence was on set and how his return for the flashback episode completed the group. Forte shared that the emotional impact of Carell's return hit him when he watched the episode, as it made him realize the absence of Carell in the current storyline. The Four Seasons is available for streaming on Netflix.
