Apple TV+ Gives Platonic Season Two Start Date, Shares First Look Photos

Apple TV+ has set a date for the launch of season two of Platonic, starring Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne.

Co-created, directed, and written by Nick Stoller and Francesca Delbanco, season two of Platonic continues with everyone’s favorite pair of best friends (Rogen and Byrne) as they grapple with new hurdles in midlife, including work, weddings, and partner crises. The duo tries their best to be each other’s rocks, but sometimes rocks break things.

The Season 2 cast also includes Luke Macfarlane and Carla Gallo, and introduces Aidy Bryant, Kyle Mooney and Beck Bennett as guest stars.

Stoller and Delbanco spoke about Season 2 on Contenders TV in Los Angeles last month, promising that fans can expect the same blunders from Sylvia (Byrne) and Will (Rogen).

“These two characters have their insecurities and issues,” Stoller said at Contenders TV. “Those won’t be solved by a marriage and starting a wedding planning business. We’re all always the same messed up people at all times. No matter what you do, you’re still dealing with those issues.”

Delbanco and Stoller also confirmed that the series would live up to its title. Will and Sylvia remain friends, and Sylvia is happily married.

“It is the lowest fi idea in history,” Delbanco said. “There’s no suspense or tension about ‘Will they or won’t they?’ They’re just buddies. We thought it was important to try to represent that, the possibility that men and women can be friends with each other and those friendships can provide something friendships with your own gender can’t provide — or something extra.”

The second season of Platonic will consist of ten episodes and will premiere worldwide on Wednesday, August 6. The first two episodes will be followed by one episode per week until October 1.
