Hot in Cleveland was renewed for a 24-episode fourth season on January 12, 2012. The summer premiere on June 19, 2013 aired live at 10:00 PM EDT/9:00 PM CDT (live-to-tape in the Mountain and Pacific time zones).

Heather Locklear, Jay Harrington, and Alan Dale all had recurring roles in season four. Locklear joined in the role of Chloe Summerlin, a former Miss Ohio who hires Melanie to work at her PR firm. Harrington plays as Alec, Summerlin's ex-husband who also works at the PR firm, and Dale plays Emmett Lawson, Victoria's movie co-star and love interest. Regis Philbin, Georgia Engel, and Michael McMillian also reprise their roles in season four. Engel is reunited with Fred Willard, her former TV husband on Everybody Loves Raymond, in the season's fifth episode. Eddie Cibrian guest stars in season four as a fireman and Joy's love interest. Juliet Mills reprises her season 1 role as Joy's hyper-critical mother, Philipa.

Danny Pudi, William Shatner, Brian Baumgartner, and Shirley Jones all have roles in the special live episode ("It's Alive") that kicks off the second half of the season. Carol Burnett and Tim Conway guest star this season, with Conway returning as Elka's ex-boyfriend Nick, and Burnett playing Penny, Victoria's mother. Jean Smart appears on the same episode as Burnett, as Victoria's sister, Bess. Mary Tyler Moore, Valerie Harper, and Cloris Leachman appear in an episode about Elka and Mamie reuniting with members of their 1963 championship bowling team. The three actresses reunite with White and Engel, with whom they all starred on The Mary Tyler Moore Show.
