By the early 2000s, the Four Seasons tours were falling in attendance and revenue, prompting Valli to seriously consider retirement.<ref name=vegasmanknows>{{Cite web|url=https://lasvegassun.com/news/2008/apr/02/vegas-man-knows-jersey-boys/|title=Vegas man knows 'Jersey Boys'|first=Jerry|last=Fink|date=April 2, 2008|website=Lasvegassun.com|access-date=September 23, 2020}}</ref> He instead assembled a new backing quartet consisting of Landon Beard, Todd Fournier, and brothers Brian Brigham and Brandon Brigham. The success of the musical ''[[Jersey Boys]]'' largely saved the Four Seasons.<ref name=vegasmanknows/>

A 3CD + 1DVD box set ''...Jersey Beat... The Music of Frankie Valli & the 4 Seasons'' was released in mid-2007, marketed as the most comprehensive collection of Four Seasons music yet. The album title ''Jersey Beat'' is a play on ''[[Jersey Boys]],'' a successful Broadway musical about the Four Seasons, as well as on ''[[Mersey Beat]]'', a term first coined as the title of a music magazine published in Liverpool, England, from 1961, but subsequently also used to describe Liverpool's "beat music" culture of the early 1960s.

In 2008, the Four Seasons' "Beggin'" was revived by two acts. Pilooski made an electro remix of that song, while rap act [[Madcon]] used it as the basis of their song "Beggin'". The latter reached number 5 in the UK charts and was a hit across Europe. The song was featured in a TV commercial for [[adidas]] shoes entitled "Celebrate Originality". The Adidas commercial is a popular hit on [[YouTube]] and features a house party with famous celebrities such as [[David Beckham]], [[Russel Simmons]], [[Kevin Garnett]], [[Missy Elliott]], [[Katy Perry]], and [[Mark Gonzales]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TT3Jj9OGMA0|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150704231449/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TT3Jj9OGMA0|url-status=dead|title=YouTube|archive-date=July 4, 2015|website=Youtube.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.cleveland.com/popmusic/index.ssf/2011/12/frankie_valli_the_original_jer.html | title=Frankie Valli, the original Jersey Boy, can't wait to get to Cleveland for two shows Dec. 10–11 at Palace Theatre | website=Cleveland.com | date=December 9, 2011 | access-date=June 29, 2012}}</ref> Also in 2008, Gaudio and Robinson recorded ''Jersey Babys: The Instrumental Music of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons for Kids'', an instrumental [[children's music|children's album]], under the Four Seasons brand but without Valli's direct involvement. ''Jersey Babys'' {{sic}} was originally envisioned by Danielle Lahlezar, Gaudio's daughter from his first marriage to Brit Olsen (to whom the album was dedicated). ''Jersey Babys'' was re-released in 2024 with an additional bonus track.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-05-31 |title=Green Hill Music Re-releases "Jersey Babys: The Instrumental Music of Frankie Valli & The 4 Seasons For Kids" |url=https://www.newjerseystage.com/asburymusic.com/getarticle2.php?titlelink=green-hill-music-re-releases-jersey-babys-the-instrumental-music-of-frankie-valli-and-the-4-seasons-for-kids052024 |access-date=2024-12-06 |website=ThePenguinRocks.com |language=en}}</ref>

Members of the 1970s lineup of the group (Polci, Ciccone, and Shapiro) reunited without Valli in 2011 as '''The Hit Men'''; it toured with several other [[session musician]]s of good repute. Shapiro has continued The Hit Men as a standalone project after Ciccone died in 2016 and Polci withdrew from the group in 2017.<ref name="NashvilleHoF">{{Cite magazine |date=17 October 2019 |title=Musicians Hall of Fame to Honor Session Legends The Hit Men |url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/8533302/musicians-hall-of-fame-to-honor-session-legends-hit-men |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191019012729/https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/8533302/musicians-hall-of-fame-to-honor-session-legends-hit-men |archive-date=19 October 2019 |access-date=12 July 2020 |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |publisher=[[Associated Press]]}}</ref>

In 2015, former longtime guitarist Larry Lingle rejoined the band, and he left for the second time after a concert on May 1, 2016.<ref name="Larry Lingle briefly rejoins 2015-2016">{{cite web |last1=Boleyn |first1=Lynn |last2=Lingle |first2=Larry |title=Thanks for the Music: Larry Lingle's Last Show with Frankie Valli |url=https://thatfourseasonssound.typepad.com/seasonally/2016/04/thanks-for-the-music.html |website=That "Four Seasons" Sound |publisher=Four Seasons UK Appreciation Society |access-date=May 27, 2024 |date=April 24, 2016}}</ref>  On September 10, 2016, the band performed with the BBC Concert Orchestra in [[Hyde Park, London|Hyde Park]], as part of the ''BBC Proms in the Park''.<ref>{{cite web |title=BBC Proms in the Park Hyde Park |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/events/e2bxj5 |website=BBC.co.uk |publisher=BBC |access-date=3 June 2022}}</ref>

In 2018, the Beard/Fournier/Brigham quartet spun off and began performing as '''The Modern Gentlemen''', with Valli's blessing, and Valli recruited a new quartet of singers to back him. Beard, Fournier, and the Brigham brothers performed as The Four Seasons for 15 years,<ref name="The Modern Gentlemen">{{cite web |title=The Modern Gentlemen: Bio |url=https://www.themoderngentlemen.net/bio |website=The Modern Gentlemen |access-date=May 27, 2024}}</ref> longer than any other lineup and longer than any of the band's other members except Valli, Gaudio and Robinson. 

In 2020, the group launched a [[YouTube]] channel.  During that same year, and continuing into 2021, during earlier phases of the [[COVID-19 pandemic in the United States|coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic]], the group virtually re-recorded three of their songs ("Harmony, Perfect Harmony", "Let's Hang On" and "Silence Is Golden"), as well as Valli's hit, "Grease", for their YouTube channel. The channel has since added archival videos from the group's television appearances and records by Four Seasons [[tribute act]]s, such as former ''Jersey Boys'' cast members.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0alO7vH9B-o7Yi8RpsaFzw/videos|title=Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons|publisher=[[YouTube]]|accessdate=March 24, 2021}}</ref>

A limited-edition 44-disc career box set called "Working Our Way Back to You: The Ultimate Collection" was initially going to be released in the summer of 2021 by The Four Seasons Partnership and Snapper Records,<ref>{{cite web | url=http://allyourscreens.com/en/component/k2/item/688-2021-brings-long-awaited-44-cd-career-set-for-four-seasons-fans | title=2021 Brings Long-Awaited 44-Disc Career Set For Four Seasons Fans | website=AllYourScreens.com | date=January 9, 2021 | access-date=March 9, 2021}}</ref> but it missed the release due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the box set was later rescheduled for release on December 9, 2022, before the release date was pushed back to April 14, 2023. The box set was eventually released on June 2, 2023, by The Four Seasons Partnership and Madfish/Snapper Music. It includes every album released by the band (including both mono and stereo mixes, where available), a CD of unreleased tracks from the band's Mowest years, three live shows taken from soundboard recordings as well as numerous other rare tracks and alternative versions.

The Four Seasons announced their farewell tour, "The Last Encores Tour", to run through 2024, including several extended stays at the [[Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino]].<ref name=farewelltour>{{Cite web |date=2023-10-04 |title=Frankie Valli Announces "The Last Encores" 2023-2024 Tour Dates |url=https://consequence.net/2023/10/frankie-valli-four-seasons-last-encores-2023-2024-tour-dates/ |access-date=2023-10-05 |language=en-US}}</ref> In an interview with the ''Los Angeles Times'', Valli did not rule out future appearances after the tour, stating that "I'm not sure whether I'm gonna keep going out."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Wood |first=Mikael |date=2023-10-25 |title=At 89, Frankie Valli is ready for one last encore |url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2023-10-25/frankie-valli-four-seasons-beggin |access-date=2023-10-26 |website=Los Angeles Times |language=en-US}}</ref> The tour was eventually extended into 2025, with representatives for Valli responding to criticism of him touring at such an advanced age and fears of [[elder abuse]] by assuring that Valli was "doing just fine and super happy to be still performing."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Jordan |first=Chris |date=2024-08-14 |title=Frankie Valli, 90, pushes back at critics who say he's too old to perform |url=https://www.aol.com/frankie-valli-90-pushes-back-192535680.html |access-date=2024-08-29 |website=Asbury Park Press via AOL |language=en-US}}</ref> In a statement to ''[[People (magazine)|People]]'', Valli indicated a willingness to continue performing as long as audiences continued to buy tickets, responding to accusations of [[lip sync]]ing by noting that his touring production was using a strategy it had long relied on for studio recordings "layering vocals and instruments" to allow the Seasons to maintain a sound similar to that heard in the 1960s despite Valli's age.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Frankie Valli Breaks Silence After Performance Videos Spark Concern: Nobody Is 'Forcing Me to Go on Stage' (Exclusive) |url=https://people.com/frankie-valli-speaks-out-after-performance-videos-spark-concern-exclusive-8720930 |access-date=2024-10-04 |website=People.com |language=en}}</ref>

Throughout the Four Seasons' {{years ago|1960}}-year existence, no incarnation of the group has ever won a competitive [[Grammy Award]]. In 2025, Valli was awarded the [[Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award]], the only Grammy the group has yet received.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.grammy.com/news/2025-grammys-special-merit-awards-recipients|title=The Recording Academy Announces 2025 Special Merit Award Honorees: Prince, The Clash, Taj Mahal, Roxanne Shante & Many More |publisher=GRAMMY.com |date=2024-12-20}}</ref>
