‘Adults’ Renewed For Season 3 At FX

FX is sticking with Adults.

The Disney-owned network has renewed the comedy for a third season with a supersized 16-episode season.

The second season premiered in August on FXX and Hulu and both seasons so far have featured eight episodes.

Adults creators Ben Kronengold & Rebecca Shaw have also struck a new overall deal with FX Productions as part of the deal.

Adults puts a generational lens on the wins, losses and humiliations of being in your twenties. It’s 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, per the logline,

Guest stars have included Charlie Cox, Julia Fox, Ray Nicholson, D’Arcy Carden, Susie Essman, Jake Shane, Zosia Mamet and Ben Marshall.

Kronenberg and Shaw executive produce alongside Nick Kroll, Sarah Naftalis, Jonathan Krisel, Alicia Van Couvering and Rob Rosell. Adults is produced by 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.”

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