FX’s Adults has been renewed for a 16-episode third season on FXX and Hulu, double the episode count of its first two seasons. Creators Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw have also signed a new overall deal with FX Productions.
Nick Grad, president of FX Entertainment, said the show “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!”
Kronengold and Shaw said, “We started working with FX over six years ago, back when Paul Baker was but a twinkle in all of our eyes.” They added, “They’ve become family, and we’re so glad to make it official — and to start yelling at them like we do our parents.”
The descriptions read, “Adults is an ensemble comedy series about a group of twenty-somethings in New York leaning on each other to navigate love, work, friendship and family. Samir (Malik Elassal), Billie (Lucy Freyer), Paul Baker (Jack Innanen), Issa (Amita Rao) and Anton (Owen Thiele) are five friends crashing together in Samir’s childhood home. Created by Ben Kronengold & Rebecca Shaw, the show puts a generational lens on the wins, losses and humiliations of being in your twenties.”
Kronengold and Shaw created the series, and FX Productions produces. Season 2 was executive produced by Kronengold and Shaw, Nick Kroll, Sarah Naftalis, Jonathan Krisel, Alicia Van Couvering and Rob Rosell.
