FX has renewed Adults for Season 3 and ordered 16 episodes, twice as many as either of the first two regular seasons. The renewal of the FXX and Hulu comedy comes alongside a new overall deal with FX Productions for creators Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw.
That longer order gives the New York roommate comedy something our Adults Season 2 review argued it needed: more time to let the cast hang out. Eight episodes went by quickly for a show that can build an entire story around who’s stuck in a room together.
Adults Season 2 Drew a Bigger Streaming Audience
FX says global Season 2 views on Hulu and Disney+ rose more than 60% compared with Season 1 over the first 35 days of streaming. International viewing doubled over the same period. The figures come from Disney’s internal streaming data and cover Hulu and Disney+, rather than FXX’s linear audience.
The network also says Season 1 streaming viewership has doubled since the release of the standalone prequel “Marathon Day.” FX Entertainment president Nick Grad pointed to the second season’s growth and the show’s fan following in announcing the renewal. Season 2 also earned a 100% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Who Stars in Adults?
The FX ensemble comedy follows five friends in their twenties living together in Samir’s childhood home in Queens. Malik Elassal plays Samir, with Lucy Freyer as Billie, Jack Innanen as Paul Baker, Amita Rao as Issa, and Owen Thiele as Anton. The friends lean on one another as they juggle jobs, dating and family, even when their help makes a small problem harder to solve.
Kronengold and Shaw executive produced Season 2 alongside Nick Kroll, Sarah Naftalis, Jonathan Krisel, Alicia Van Couvering and Rob Rosell. FX Productions produces the series.
When Does Adults Season 3 Premiere?
FX’s renewal announcement did not give a premiere date. The Ankler reported that the third season is planned for 2027. In the meantime, the first two seasons are available on Hulu and through Hulu on Disney+ for eligible U.S. bundle subscribers. Internationally, the series streams on Disney+.
