A common face in NBC’s Saturday Night Live (SNL), Tina Fey has done more behind the camera than in front. She was SNL’s first female head writer and cast member. She is also the creator of another NBC sitcom titled ’30 Rock’ and the Netflix sitcom ‘Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.’ Fey has numerous accolades to her name, including Primetime Emmy Awards, Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild Awards, and Writers Guild of America Awards. She is also the youngest recipient of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.
Her success in SNL garnered a huge fan following that only increased with her debut in Hollywood. As far as movies are concerned, you will find her in the 2004 film ‘Mean Girls’ (she wrote the screenplay of this movie), the 2010 film ‘Date Night,’ ‘Muppets Most Wanted’ (2014), ‘Sisters’ (2015), ‘Whiskey Tango Foxtrot’ (2016), the 2019 film ‘Wine Country,’ and ‘A Haunting in Venice.’ If you, too, are her fan and are wondering about her forthcoming projects, here’s what she has in store for you.
1. Only Murders in the Building Season 5 (2025)
Fey stars as true crime podcaster Cinda Canning in the four seasons of ‘Only Murders in the Building.’ So, the renewal of the show for its 5th season in September 2024 means that Fey should be back with her character’s podcast All Is Not OK in Oklahoma.
Starring Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez in lead roles as Charles, Oliver, and Mabel, respectively, the series shows the three people investigating murders in their posh apartment, the Arconia. Season 5 will have 10 episodes and will follow our trio as they investigate the death of Lester (Teddy Coluca), the Arconia doorman who was killed at the end of Season 4. Returning cast members include Michael Cyril Creighton as Howard, Jackie Hoffman as Uma, Da’Vine Joy Randolph as Detective Donna Williams, Meryl Streep as Loretta Durkin, and Tea Leoni as Sofia. Season 5 will drop in 2025 and awaits a release date.
2. The Four Seasons (TBA)
Netflix’s comedy series ‘The Four Seasons’ is created by Fey, Lang Fisher, and Tracey Wigfield. The cast members include Fey, Steve Carell, Colman Domingo, Erika Henningsen, Will Forte, and Kerri Kenney. Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini serve as directors. The series is based on the 1981 feature film of the same name, which follows three middle-aged couples as they confront changes, their marriages, friendships, and the essence of love, which come under scrutiny during four vacations across the seasons. However, things take an awkward turn when one of the husbands divorces his wife and brings his new girlfriend along. The 8-episode series is currently filming, with Netflix yet to reveal a release date.
