This article contains major The Four Seasons spoils. Consider yourself warned.
Netflix has majorly confused fans of one of its top-performing TV dramas by posting some rather steamy photos of two of its cast members.
The streamer found a hit in The Four Seasons, a comedy miniseries created by and starring Tina Fey and an iconic cast of famous faces.
The eight-parter released at the start of the month and has shot up the Netflix TV charts, racking up more hours viewed than the final season of You.

It follows the lives of three couples - one miserable pair, one boujee, and another deeply in love.
The triple date embark on four vacations together over the different seasons, and their relationships with not just their other half but each other evolve too.
Steve Carell plays Nick Callan, a man experiencing a midlife crisis. During a spring getaway, he surprises everyone by announcing his decision to leave his wife, Anne (Kerri Kenney-Silver) and goes on to introduce his much younger girlfriend, Ginny (Erika Henningsen).
This revelation disrupts the group's dynamic, as they explore aging, friendship, and personal growth.
In the penultimate episode of the series, viewers are delivered the ultimate 'gut punch' - Carell's character is killed off.
It's obviously devastating, and not everyone loved the ending.
However on Tuesday (May 13), the official Netflix Instagram account posted a series of cheeky photos of Ginny and Nick together.
One shows Ginny going to slap Nick's ass on a balcony; another sees them snuggled up in bed together, apparently naked.
"Memorializing Ginny’s photos of Nicky on the grid like they deserve," the account captioned the post.
Fans appeared divided by the content - I mean, some were obsessed, mainly over Carell.
"Steve Carell being HOT was not on my 2025 list! But here we are!" one gushed, as a second agreed: "Steve Carell is hot now. Didn’t see that one coming."
Carell's glow-up aside, fans were also full of praise the show. Mostly...
And referring to their relationship on The Four Seasons - at least, that's what I assume - one person wrote: "They really loved each other," as a second said: "Best couples of all time."
Others, meanwhile, were a little confused, believing the pair were a couple in real life.
"Guys, they are NOT married!" one person clarified, continuing: "Erika is 32 married to Kyle Selig, and Steve Carell is 62 and married to Nancy Carell! This is just for the show!"
Nancy, of course, appeared in The Office as real estate agent and ex-girlfriend of Michael Scott, played by real-life partner, Steve.
Anyway, the comedy - which also stars Kenney-Silver but Colman Domingo, Marco Calvani - has been a major hit for Netflix and has beaten You season five when it comes to those all-important viewing figures.
The Four Seasons dropped on May 1 and has racked up a mammoth 53.9 million hours watched.
Meanwhile, You's final instalment released a week earlier, on April 24, and has only managed 45.3 million hours viewed.
Doing the math, You's final season is being watched an average of around 2.3 million hours a day - and The Four Seasons? 4.1 million hours a day.
So the Carell-fronted miniseries is being watched at almost double the daily rate of Joe Goldberg's antics, with 8.6 million more hours clocked up.
Fans are hoping for another instalment of The Four Seasons, but Netflix is yet to confirm whether another has been greenlit.
As the show was commissioned as a limited series, it's unlikely a second season could follow.
But watch this space, I guess...
