SPOILERS: This post contains details about The Four Seasons, Season 2 finale ‘Maratona’
Although vacation is over on Season 2 of The Four Seasons, the finale sets up a new travel companion.
Tracey Wigfield, co-creator of the Netflix series, recently explained how fellow creator Tina Fey chose David Tennant to play Gianpiero in the season finale’s Italian meet-cute with Anne (Kerri Kenney-Silver)
“Tina, the first person she said was, ‘Well, someone like David Tennant, like a David Tennant kind of guy, as her [Anne’s] neighbor,’” she recalled to Decider. “We were so thrilled that we went to him first and he said yes. He flew in and we shot it — it was just the one scene — so we shot it in one day, and he’s so lovely and he looks so good with Kerri.”
Following her ex-husband Nick’s (Steve Carell) tragic death at the end of Season 1, during which he impregnated another woman, Season 2 ends with Anne choosing to stay behind in Italy after her friends depart. She soon meets her neighbor Gianpiero in their courtyard after he received some of her mail.
Wigfield said, “Anne obviously has been on a journey in Season 1 and then Season 2 as well, you know, she’s trying to be Anne 2.0 and have this sort of personal renaissance, but it’s not going great. So there was something really exciting when we were thinking about a cliffhanger for a possible Season 3 of having a romantic cliffhanger, and someone that you would get so excited to see more stories with.”
Now streaming on Netflix, Season 2 of The Four Seasons reunites Fey and Kenney-Silver onscreen with Will Forte, Colman Domingo, Marco Calvani and Erika Henningsen.
