“Ben and Rebecca have elevated ‘Adults’ in every way, earning critical praise and a legion of devoted fans who have embraced the friend group as their own,” said Nick Grad, President, FX Entertainment. “’Adults’ showed significant growth in its sophomore year and we’ve seen the show inspire everything from memes to Halloween costumes, so the decision was easy – more episodes and a new deal at FX for Ben and Rebecca!”

“We started working with FX over six years ago, back when Paul Baker was but a twinkle in all of our eyes,” said Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw. “In the years since, John and the rest of the team have taught us everything we know about how to lead, produce, and tell stories that make people feel like part of a community. They’ve become family, and we’re so glad to make it official — and to start yelling at them like we do our parents.”

Season two recently earned TCA Approved status as one of The Best Shows of the Year and enjoys a 100% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Season two viewing increased over season one across Disney+ globally. In addition, the second season drove renewed interest in the first season, with streaming viewership doubling since the release of the standalone prequel episode “Marathon Day.”

Season two of “Adults” received tremendous critical acclaim including:
