It’s not prime “beach weather” in mid-October, but that didn’t stop the cast of the Netflix series “The Four Seasons” from taking to the sand in New Jersey.
Stars of the show including Tina Fey, Oscar nominee Colman Domingo and Marco Calvani sat in beach chairs for scenes that filmed in Ocean Grove Wednesday.
Production on the second season of the series set up camp on the beach with a sprawling crew.
Fey co-created the show, which debuted in May with eight episodes.
“The Four Seasons” doesn’t have anything to do with the New Jersey music group and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band fronted by Frankie Valli.
But it is based on longtime New Jersey resident Alan Alda‘s Golden Globe-nominated 1981 movie of the same name starring Alda, Carol Burnett, Rita Moreno, Sandy Dennis, Len Cariou, Bess Armstrong and Jack Weston.

The “Four Seasons” in the movie’s title references the famous Vivaldi concertos, or concerti (“Spring,” “Summer,” “Autumn,” “Winter”), which play in the soundtrack of the film.
Alda wrote and directed the movie and has appeared in the Netflix series, co-created by Fey, Tracey Wigfield (who grew up in Wayne) and Lang Fisher.
Fey plays Kate in the show, while Domingo plays Danny, husband of Claude, played by Calvani.
Other cast members include Will Forte, who plays Jack, husband to Kate; Steve Carell, who plays Nick, who splits from his wife Anne, played by Kerri Kenney-Silver. After the divorce, Nick starts dating Ginny, played by Erika Henningsen.
This is the first time “The Four Seasons” has filmed in New Jersey, the state Economic Development Authority tells NJ Advance Media.

The show joins many other Netflix productions filming locally.
Titles in progress include Dan Levy’s series “Big Mistakes”; the Cameron Diaz action comedy “Bad Day,” the Robert Zemeckis-directed Jennifer Lopez movie “The Last Mrs. Parrish,” based on the bestselling book; and the Jamie Foxx Olympic boxing movie “Fight for ’84,” based on the true story of the 1984 Team USA Olympic boxing team.
