The Gen Z will be very happy to know that the comedy that best represents them, Adults, has just been renewed for a third season. The other good news is that this time FX has ordered the production of 16 episodes, double the amount of the two previous seasons. Not all. The network also announced that the series’ creators Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw have signed a new ongoing collaboration agreement with FX Productions.
About Adults: the plot and renewal statements
“Ben and Rebecca have elevated Adults in every aspect, earning critical acclaim and winning a devoted fan base that has embraced this group of friends,” said Nick Grad, president of FX Entertainment, in a statement. “Adults has shown substantial growth in its second season; the show has inspired everything from memes to Halloween costumes, so the decision was simple: more episodes and a new deal with FX for Ben and Rebecca.”
Kronengold and Shaw added: “We started collaborating with FX more than six years ago, when Paul Baker was still just a distant idea in our minds. Since then, John [Landgraf] and the rest of the team have taught us everything we know about how to lead, produce, and tell stories that make people feel part of a community. They’ve become like family, and we’re thrilled to formalize the relationship… and to start scolding them, just like we do with our parents.”
In Italy available for streaming on Disney+, Adults follows a group of young friends – Samir (played by Malik Elassal), Billie (Lucy Freyer), Paul (Jack Innanen), Issa (Amita Rao) and Anton (Owen Thiele) – as they navigate the challenges of entering adulthood, while living together in the Queens house where Samir grew up. The series explores topics particularly resonant with Gen Z, such as workplace challenges, healthcare, interpersonal relationships, and contemporary social dynamics.
