Universal Television’s Emmy-nominated “The Four Seasons” will be filming an episode for its upcoming Season 3 in and around Santa Fe through Saturday, Sept. 19.

“The Four Seasons,” which streams on Netflix, is a comedy drama series about three middle-aged couples: Kate (Tina Fey) and Jack (Will Forte), Nick (Steve Carell) and Anne (Kerry Kenney-Silver) and Danny (Colman Domingo) and Claude (Marco Calvani), who take quarterly vacations together. Their tradition goes awry when Nick divorces Anne and begins dating a younger woman.

Tracey Wigfield is directing the new episode, and a press release from the New Mexico Film Office said the production will employ 165 New Mexico crew members, 12 New Mexico principal actors and approximately 250 New Mexico background actors.

“Having a series like ‘The Four Seasons’ film in New Mexico speaks to how the state complements compelling storytelling,” Steve Graham, New Mexico Film Office director, said in a statement. “One of our goals is to get filmmakers to return and this is a great example of working with our film partners.”

The project will be a return trip to the Land of Enchantment for some of the cast. Forte filmed “Coyote vs. Acme,” which is showing in theaters now, in Albuquerque in 2022. Fey filmed “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot” in the state in 2015, followed by a handful of other projects.
