Built on the Hudson River, Beacon is located north of New York and has been unusually busy in recent weeks as the Netflix comedy series The Four Seasons, based on the movie of the same name, is being filmed there.
It was released in cinemas in 1981, starring Alan Alda – he is also the director and screenwriter of this film – and Carol Burnett, as well as Rita Moreno, and the title is borrowed from a piece by Antonio Vivaldi that also plays on the film’s soundtrack. The film was a good success and was nominated for Golden Globes in four categories: Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy (A. Alda, K. Burnett) and Best Screenplay.
Steve Carell and Tina Fey starred together in the comedy “Crazy Night” (2010), and Will Forte, Coleman Domingo, Carrie Kenny-Silver and Erika Henningsen will live the events of the series together with them. “Netflix” has planned an eight-episode series, which, like the original film, will show three middle-class New York couples and their relationship, which is distorted by one couple’s confession of divorce.

Ah, Beacon! The quaint little town that’s become busier than a New York subway during rush hour. Who knew a Netflix series would transform it into such a hotspot? You see, when Hollywood comes calling, even Hudson River’s quiet charm can’t resist the allure of cinematic chaos! I can just picture the townsfolk: “Oh look, there’s Steve Carell! Is he really that funny in person, or is he like that in every film, pretending he’s reading a newspaper while surrounded by chaos?”
The article gives us a glorious trip down memory lane, reminding us of the roots of this new series, “The Four Seasons,” which, let’s be honest, is practically a family reunion for every sitcom-loving soul that jumped on the cinema bandwagon in 1981. Alan Alda, the man who was both a star and a glorious director, and let’s not forget Carol Burnett – two comedic heavyweights! Imagine them working tirelessly on set while everyone else is busy trying to keep a straight face. How do you even act alongside Carol Burnett without giggling? She radiates chaos like a cat at a dog show!
And while they’re remaking classic films, can we talk about the audacity? They’re pulling in the likes of Tina Fey and Steve Carell, adding a sprinkle of modern magic! I mean, can you imagine them trying to navigate a relationship while simultaneously trying to remember where they parked? The premise revolves around three couples and their melodramatic interactions – on a very typical New York evening filled with overpriced coffee and existential dread. “Hey, honey, I’ve got some bad news. I’m not really in the mood to separate the laundry. I’m in the mood to separate my life choices!”
Now, if you’re tuning in on November 3rd for “Mother of My Child,” don’t get too comfy! Like all things Netflix, four episodes in, and you’ll forget what sleep is. Before you know it, you’re scrolling your social media platforms, looking strictly for memes to justify the hours you’ve committed to watching fictional divorce drama.
In the midst of all this, there’s a survey! Oh yes, nothing says “We value your opinion” like a survey that asks, “Where do you visit most?” It’s like Netflix asking, “Where did your social life go?” while you contemplate your poor choices, reminiscing on those halcyon days when your weekend nights didn’t involve binge-watching and potato chips as your only companion. But I digress. The real question is how many hours do you spend avoiding those existential crises by scrolling through your Instagram feed, hoping it’ll distract you from the fact that you haven’t genuinely laughed in weeks?
To sum it up, Beacon has transformed itself into the Epicenter of Comedy, filming its latest hit under the shadows of Vivaldi’s moral dilemmas. Forget the glam of New York City – these middle-class folks are fighting their way into our living rooms with their petty squabbles and Netflix-fueled drama! So, grab your popcorn, and get ready for another ride on the emotional rollercoaster – where every twist and turn is filmed with a hefty camera and probably features a rant by Tina Fey about the absurdity of it all.
Nestled along the picturesque banks of the Hudson River, the charming city of Beacon, New York, has witnessed an unprecedented surge of activity in recent weeks, thanks to the filming of the highly anticipated Netflix comedy series, The Four Seasons. This series draws inspiration from the beloved 1981 film that shares its name and has captivated audiences with its unique storytelling.
The original film, which graced theaters over four decades ago, featured the legendary Alan Alda, who not only played a leading role but also took the helm as both director and screenwriter. Joining him were comedy icons Carol Burnett and Rita Moreno, creating a dynamic ensemble that brought a heartfelt narrative to life. The film’s title pays homage to a timeless composition by Antonio Vivaldi, a piece that harmoniously echoes throughout the cinematic experience. Its commercial success was marked by nominations for four prestigious Golden Globe Awards, including Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy and nods for Alda and Burnett in the Best Actor category.
The upcoming Netflix adaptation not only stars the well-known comedic talents of Steve Carell and Tina Fey, who previously teamed up in the 2010 film “Crazy Night,” but also introduces fresh faces such as Will Forte, Coleman Domingo, Carrie Kenny-Silver, and Erika Henningsen. The series, consisting of eight episodes, promises to delve into the lives of three middle-class New York couples, whose relationships are turned upside down by one couple’s shocking revelation of impending divorce, mirroring the original film’s exploration of love and human connection.

**Interview with Sarah Thompson, Local Business Owner in Beacon, NY**
**Editor:** Sarah, thank you for joining us today! Beacon has been bustling lately with the filming of Netflix’s *The Four Seasons*. How has this affected the town?
**Sarah:** It’s my pleasure! The energy in Beacon has been electric. Normally, we’re a peaceful little spot, but with all the talent in town—like Steve Carell and Tina Fey—everyone can’t help but be excited. Local cafés and shops are seeing a significant uptick in customers hoping to catch a glimpse of the filming. It’s been wonderful for our small businesses!
**Editor:** That’s fantastic to hear! The original *Four Seasons* film is a classic. What do you think about Netflix reviving it for a modern audience?
**Sarah:** I think it’s brilliant! Nostalgia is a powerful thing, and the original film really resonated with many people. Bringing in contemporary stars while retaining that core theme of relationships is a smart move. Plus, they’re tackling these themes in a humorous yet relatable way—very fitting for today’s audiences.
**Editor:** You mentioned the talent involved. Has there been any buzz among the locals about their experiences meeting the stars on set?
**Sarah:** Oh absolutely! People are sharing stories about bumping into Steve Carell while picking up coffee or seeing Tina Fey at the local bookstore. It’s like a Hollywood dream in our little town! But there’s a mix of excitement and a hint of shyness—no one wants to bother them too much. Everyone is respecting their space, but there are definitely some whispers of star sightings around town!
**Editor:** That sounds delightful! As someone living and working in Beacon, do you think this filming will have a lasting impact on the community once the series airs?
**Sarah:** I hope so! It really puts Beacon on the map. Films and TV shows often bring tourism—even after filming is complete, fans may want to visit the locales they saw on screen. We could see a spike in visitors wanting to explore Beacon, which could keep our local economy thriving. It’s all about building those bridges!
**Editor:** We look forward to seeing how this unfolds. Lastly, any words for viewers looking forward to the premiere this November?
**Sarah:** Get ready for some laughs and a trip back to Beacon! I think viewers are going to love seeing their city come alive in this series. And who knows, maybe you’ll see a familiar café or shop in the background. It’s going to be packed with all the heart and hilarity of the original—just with a contemporary twist.
**Editor:** Thank you, Sarah! We appreciate your insights and can’t wait to see *The Four Seasons* come to life on Netflix.
**Sarah:** Thank you for having me! I can’t wait either!
