Oscar nominee Colman Domingo has joined the cast of the upcoming Netflix comedy The Four Seasons from writers Tina Fey, Lang Fisher, and Tracey Wigfield.
Domingo joins previously announced stars Fey and Steve Carell—the latter currently on Broadway in the revival of Uncle Vanya—in a series regular role. Production is scheduled to begin later this year.
Produced by Universal Television, The Four Seasons is based on the 1981 film of the same name that was written and directed by Alan Alda, produced by Martin Bregman, and starred Alda and Carol Burnett.
