"Funny and charming" comedy Adults gets exciting season 3 update - with major change confirmed

Adults has been renewed for a third season at FX and Hulu, and there's one huge change coming. First airing in 2025, Adults follows five codependent twenty-something housemates - Samir (Elassal), Billie (Freyer), Paul Baker (Innanen), Issa (Rao), and Anton (Thiele) - living in Samir’s childhood home in Queens, New York.

Across two seasons, we've followed the friends as they navigate early adulthood and everything that comes with it, from workplace woes to messy relationships and everything in between.

Variety reported that a third season is on its way, and it will consist of a whopping 16 episodes - double that of the eight in seasons one and two.

Creators Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw told the publication: "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."

Nick Grad, president of FX Entertainment, added: "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.

"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!"

Kronenberg and Shaw executive produce alongside Nick Kroll, Sarah Naftalis, Jonathan Krisel, Alicia Van Couvering and Rob Rosell.

Adults seasons one and two are available to stream on Disney+.
