#FIRSTLOOK: FX’S “ADULTS” RENEWED FOR SECOND SEASON

Disney+ announced that FX’s “Adults”, the ensemble comedy that The New York Times called “’Friends’ for a new generation,” has been renewed for a second season. The news was shared today by Kate Lambert, Executive Vice President, Development, FX Entertainment. All episodes of Season 1, which was filmed in Toronto, are available to stream on Hulu on Disney+ in Canada.

FX’s “Adults” is created by Ben Kronengold & Rebecca Shaw, who are Executive Producers and Writers. Comedy veterans Nick Kroll, Sarah Naftalis and Jonathan Krisel are Executive Producers. The series stars Lucy Freyer, Amita Rao, Owen Thiele, and Canadians Malik Elassal and Jack Innanen.

“Ben and Rebecca are incredibly talented writers, and they have expertly and hilariously captured the experience of being a young adult in today’s world,” said Lambert. “The entire cast—Malik, Lucy, Jack, Amita and Owen—is exceptional in bringing it to life in a way that has truly connected with its audience.

FX’s “Adults” follows a group of twenty-somethings in New York trying to be good people, despite being neither “good” nor “people” yet. “Samir” (Malik Elassal), “Billie” (Lucy Freyer), “Paul Baker” (Jack Innanen), “Issa” (Amita Rao) and “Anton” (Owen Thiele) are five friends crashing together in Samir’s childhood home, where they share their meals, anxieties and, occasionally, toothbrushes.

The series puts a slightly heightened twist on the wins, losses and humiliations of starting out in the adult world. Whether they’re trying to get ahead at work, navigating the healthcare system, hosting a dinner party or dating in the age of Find My Friends, the group is finding that nothing about the real world is simple, and all their best intentions tend to make things worse.

FX’s “Adults” is created by and executive produced by Ben Kronengold & Rebecca Shaw (“The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon”), Nick Kroll (“Big Mouth”, “The League”), Sarah Naftalis (“What We Do in the Shadows”), Jonathan Krisel (“Baskets”, “English Teacher”) and Rob Rosell (“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”, “New Girl”). “Adults” is produced by FX Productions.

“‘Friends’ for a new generation” – The New York Times
