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 as well as its 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 4 (2024)
Fey starred as true crime podcaster Cinda Canning in all three seasons of ‘Only Murders in the Building.’ So the renewal of the show for its 4th season means that Fey will 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, with Meryl Streep reprising her role from Season 3. New cast additions are Kumail Nanjiani, Eugene Levy, Eva Longoria, and Molly Shannon. With Season 3 having ended with the mysterious murder of Jane Lunch’s Sazz Pataki, Season 4 will show our trio looking into the truth behind the killing. Ben Philippe is back to write the script as is showrunner John Hoffman and directors Jamie Babbit and Cherien Dabis. The project is currently in its production stage and we are yet to get any update about its release.
2. The Four Seasons (TBA)
Netflix’s comedy series ‘The Four Seasons’ will be headlined by Tina Fey who is its only revealed cast member yet. She created it alongside Lang Fisher and Tracey Wigfield. It will be based on the 1981 feature film of the same name, which follows three couples who go on vacations every season. The filming of the 8-episode series will begin later this year although we are yet to know who will be directing it. Netflix has yet to reveal a release date.
