## Spoilers
### Plot
#### Season 1
Brayer High, present day. The series opens with a self-aware disclaimer, "This show about high school does not involve singing," and then introduces Andie Fixler (Jenn McAllister), a freshman with big romantic ambitions and zero experience. Her wingwomen are Courtney (Meghan Falcone), Dakota (Rickey Thompson), and Imogen (Brooke Markham), who supply a running stream of advice involving sexting, Instagram stalking, and slang like DSE. The main obstacle is her brother Alec ([Logan Paul](https://www.edgepedia.org/logan-paul)), a senior who has appointed himself guardian of Andie's chastity and scares off every suitor in the school, at one point literally stapling her shirt closed before a date.[17](https://pop-culturalist.com/to-see-or-not-to-see-foursome/)
The season's engine is Andie's crush on Josh (Cameron Moulène), a nice guy who somehow keeps surviving Alec's gauntlet. Parties, hookups, breakups, and makeups pile up across the six episodes, with the Foursome's schemes usually backfiring spectacularly. The finale, "Blackout," sends everyone to a frat party, where Imogen goes missing and the friends have to scramble to find her, ending the season on a cliffhanger.[18](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/14995/foursome/episodeguide)
#### Season 2
The ten-episode second season follows Andie's escalating campaign to lose her virginity, with episode titles like "Extra Curr-d*ck-ulars" charting her progress. Alec keeps interfering, the friends keep scheming, and Josh keeps drifting in and out of reach. Everything builds to the finale, "The Big Finish," on homecoming night: **Andie finally decides that tonight is the night she loses her "V," and the episode lets the whole plan fall apart in glorious fashion.** Between Alec's sabotage, the friends' meddling, and plain bad luck, the night does not go as she or anyone planned, and Andie ends homecoming with her pride dented and her goal still unmet.[18](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/14995/foursome/episodeguide) • [2](https://www.epguides.com/Foursome/)
#### Season 3
The entire ten-episode third season dropped on November 1, 2017, and is set largely on a trip to Beach Island, where the Foursome decamps for sun, sand, and sex-capades. Freed from Brayer High, the friends pair off, fall out, and patch things up, with Andie and Josh's on-again, off-again thing finally tipping toward on. By the end of the season Andie and Josh are officially together.[18](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/14995/foursome/episodeguide)
#### Season 4
The final ten episodes all premiered October 24, 2018. Andie and Josh are together at last, but reality sets in: Josh and the rest of the Foursome are heading off to college while Andie, a year behind, is stuck at Brayer for junior year. Her answer to impending abandonment is characteristic. **As summer winds down, Andie plots one last blowout, a party at Brayer High designed to cement her status as a school legend before her friends leave her behind.** The finale, "Live As Legends," delivers a scheme, a party, and chaos among a group of friends facing their first real separation.[18](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/14995/foursome/episodeguide) • [2](https://www.epguides.com/Foursome/)
### Characters
**Andie Fixler (Jenn McAllister)** is the show's heart: an ambitious, boy-obsessed freshman whose schemes to find love and lose her virginity drive all four seasons. McAllister, a YouTube star with millions of subscribers, plays Andie as a schemer whose plans always outrun her competence.
**Alec Fixler (Logan Paul)** is Andie's overprotective brother, a walking catastrophe with a mustache who frightens off her suitors and staples her shirt shut. He is the show's loudest comic weapon and its most reliable saboteur.
**Courtney (Meghan Falcone)**, **Dakota (Rickey Thompson)**, and **Imogen (Brooke Markham)** make up the rest of the Foursome, supplying terrible advice, romantic subplots, and, in Imogen's case, a disappearance in the season one finale. Dakota, played by YouTube personality Rickey Thompson, became a fan favorite for his flamboyant one-liners.
**Josh (Cameron Moulène)** is Andie's long-running love interest, the boy who survives Alec and eventually, by season three, becomes her boyfriend. John Milhiser rounds out the cast in supporting comic roles.[17](https://pop-culturalist.com/to-see-or-not-to-see-foursome/)
### Interpretations and controversies
Common Sense Media's parents' guide flagged the show's heavy load of sexual references and slang and called out its underlying message, that to exist in high school without having sex is a recipe for mockery, as a worrisome one for teen viewers. Defenders read the same premise as satire of exactly that pressure, with Andie's failures as the joke rather than the lesson.[3](https://www.commonsensemedia.org/tv-reviews/foursome) The casting of Logan Paul also became a talking point in later years given his subsequent controversies, though he left the regular rotation as the series went on.
### Sequels, spin-offs, and adaptations
*Foursome* was an original creation for YouTube Red and ended after four seasons with no spin-offs or adaptations. By season four it was the longest-running YouTube Original.[19](http://pop-culturalist.com/tag/foursome/)
## The 2016 YouTube series
The series follows Andie Fixler, a frustrated high-school sophomore with aspirations of finding a boyfriend despite her older brother's determination to keep her chaste during her high school years. Every time Andie puts herself out there, Alec appears to body-slam any potential suitor, and even his friend Josh, Andie's longtime crush, is off-limits. She depends on her three best friends for advice: Dakota, a confident gay best friend; Imogen, an innocent wallflower fresh out of home school; and Courtney, Alec's college-age girlfriend who cannot let go of her high school days.[3](https://www.commonsensemedia.org/tv-reviews/foursome) • [7](https://www.justwatch.com/uk/tv-series/foursome)
**Production and run.** AwesomenessTV produced the show as a YouTube Red original. Season 1 ran for six episodes in spring 2016 and, according to the 9th Annual Shorty Awards, drew nearly 1 million views, after which the show returned for ten weekly episodes through February 2017.[8](https://shortyawards.com/9th/showfoursome) The full run totaled four seasons and 36 episodes between 2016 and 2018, with seasons 3 and 4 released in 2018 and 2019 respectively.[1](https://paramountglobalcontent.com/title/foursome) • [4](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/foursome) Executive producers listed by Paramount Global Content Distribution include Marissa Read, Selyna Warren, Shauna Phelan, Jordan Levin, Joe Davola, Brian Robbins, Shelley Zimmerman, and Amy York Rubin.[1](https://paramountglobalcontent.com/title/foursome)
**Casting significance.** The series marked the first lead acting role for Jenn McAllister, who had risen to fame through her personal YouTube channel jennxpenn; Logan Paul, already a prominent internet personality, played her brother.[9](https://www.famousbirthdays.com/webseries/foursome.html) • [8](https://shortyawards.com/9th/showfoursome)
**Content and reception.** Common Sense Media rated the show appropriate for ages 14 and up, describing it as a teen-geared comedy with excessive sexual references, frequent graphic dialogue among the teens, bleeped profanity, and a recurring gag in which Alec tackles boys who flirt with his sister. The review noted the loyalty of Andie's friendships as the show's main positive content and flagged its suggestion that a high schooler without a sexual relationship is incomplete as a worrisome message.[3](https://www.commonsensemedia.org/tv-reviews/foursome) On IMDb the series holds a weighted 5.7/10 from 981 user ratings, with an unweighted mean of 6.7; episode-level ratings range from 5.6 to 9.7.[5](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5594490/ratings/) Rotten Tomatoes lists no critic reviews, so its Tomatometer shows an average of zero reviews.[4](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/foursome)
