Summary

  • Tracey Wigfield said Tina Fey specifically wanted “someone like David Tennant” for Anne’s new neighbor Gianpiero, and the team went to him first for the Season 2 finale cameo.
  • 1 scene was shot in 1 day after Tennant agreed, setting up a romantic cliffhanger as Anne stays behind in Italy and meets Gianpiero in their courtyard.
  • Anne’s new turn follows Season 1’s ending, when ex-husband Nick died after impregnating another woman, and Season 2’s arc of her trying to become “Anne 2.0.”
  • Netflix’s The Four Seasons is now streaming with Fey, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Will Forte, Colman Domingo, Marco Calvani and Erika Henningsen, while the finale leaves room for a possible Season 3.
