Tina Fey is about to remake the 1981 movie The Four Seasons into a Netflix series, according to The Hollywood Reporter. She will pull off triple duty as co-creator, executive producer and star.

30 Rock alumni Lang Fisher and Tracey Wigfield will also join Fey as executive producers for the series. Fey's production company, Little Stranger, is backed by Universal TV who will also produce the series.

The Four Seasons series remake was a hot property after the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes ended last fall. Netflix ultimately won the bidding war for the show.

The film was written, directed and starred in by Alan Alda in 1981. Carol Burnett, Len Cariou, Jack Weston, Rita Moreno, Sandy Dennis and Bess Armstrong round out the cast. Alda, who also had a recurring part in 30 Rock, will serve as the series' producer along with the movie's producer Martin Bregman's daughter, Marissa.

The story followed three upper middle-class couples in New York City. They have an established tradition of going on vacations together during each of the seasons, hence the title. One of the characters, Nick (Cariou) leaves his wife Anne (Dennis) after 21 years marriage, during the spring trip at their country house. Nick then decides to take a much younger woman, Ginny (Armstrong) on the succeeding summer, fall and winter trips.

This caused the other couples Jack (Alda) and Kate (Burnett) and Danny (Weston) and Claudia (Moreno) to feel uncomfortable. The two couples think that by allowing Nick and Ginny to vacation with them, they are effectively betraying their friend Anne.
