Alan Alda was also a recurring guest on 30 Rock. The Four Seasons will begin production later this year. The Four Seasons is executive produced by Tina Fey, Lang Fisher, Tracey Wigfield, David Miner, Eric Gurian and Jeff Richmond. Alan Alda and Marissa Bregman will Produce. The series is written by Fey, Fisher and Wigfield. Universal Television is the producing studio. Little Stranger, Inc. is the production company. Fey, Netflix and Universal Television have a successful history, having launched the Emmy-nominated hit series Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, which ran for four seasons plus an interactive movie.
