Universal Television's Emmy-nominated The Four Seasons filmed a season 3 episode in Santa Fe through September 19, employing New Mexico crew members and actors. Fey returns to New Mexico after filming Whiskey Tango Foxtrot there in 2015.
Santa Fe is a pointed seasonal destination for the group. The New Mexico capital's adobe architecture, its art galleries, its high-desert landscape and its specific combination of cultural richness and outdoor access make it exactly the kind of place that a group of well-meaning, slightly complicated middle-aged friends would choose for a supposedly restorative vacation.
New Mexico Film Office director Steve Graham was direct about what a production like this means: "Having a series like The Four Seasons film in New Mexico speaks to how the state complements compelling storytelling. One of our goals is to get filmmakers to return and this is a great example of working with our film partners."
Santa Fe Film Office commissioner Jennifer LaBar Tapia was equally warm: "The Four Seasons is a fantastic addition to Santa Fe's long and celebrated film history. Productions like this recognize the value of our extraordinary locations, world-class crew and film-friendly community. We're thrilled to welcome the production and proud to see Santa Fe continue to shine on the global screen."
Specific Santa Fe locations used during filming have not yet been publicly confirmed. Would it be funny if the production turned up at the Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado Santa Fe at some point? We'll let you know the moment we find out.
