Adults Renewed For Supersized Season 3 At FX

FX is making a sizeable commitment to "Adults," renewing the Gen Z hangout comedy for a 16-episode third season — double the eight-episode orders for Seasons 1 and 2.

The pickup — which comes nearly three months after Season 2 was released in its entirety on Hulu on August 27, ahead of its weekly rollout on FX — was first reported by The Ankler.

In tandem with the renewal, FX has also announced that series creators Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw have signed a new overall deal with FX Productions.

"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!"

Added Kronengold and Shaw: "We started working with FX over six years ago, back when Paul Baker was but a twinkle in all of our eyes. In the years since, 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 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."

"Adults," which first launched in May 2025, is an ensemble comedy series about a group of twenty-somethings in New York — Samir (Malik Elassal), Billie (Lucy Freyer), Paul Baker (Jack Innanen), Issa (Amita Rao), and Anton (Owen Thiele) — "leaning on each other to navigate love, work, friendship and family," per the official logline. 

Freyer was named TVLine's Performer of the Week for her work in Season 2. (TVLine's Dave Nemetz praised Season 1, giving it an "A-" upon its debut.)

Seasons 1 and 2 are available to stream on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers in the U.S. and on Disney+ internationally. A timetable for Season 3 has not yet been announced.

The TVLine Scorecard has been updated to reflect the renewal news. Are you looking forward to more "Adults"?
