FX Renews Gen Z Comedy Series Adults for Second Season

In a move that will delight fans of the FX comedy series Adults, the network has ordered a second season of the show. The renewal comes just five months after the first season was released in its entirety on Hulu.

Adults, created by Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw, follows a group of five young adults in their twenties as they navigate the trials and tribulations of starting out in the real world. The series, which FX describes as putting a "slightly heightened twist on the wins, losses and humiliations of starting out in the adult world," has resonated with viewers for its authentic and humorous depiction of the challenges faced by this generation.

The ensemble cast, including Malik Elassal, Lucy Freyer, Jack Innanen, Amita Rao, and Owen Thiele, has been praised for their standout performances in bringing the characters to life. Whether they're dealing with work, healthcare, social lives, or dating, the group is finding that nothing about adulthood is simple, and their best intentions often make things worse.

FX's executive vice president of development, Kate Lambert, expressed enthusiasm for the show, stating that "Ben and Rebecca are incredibly talented writers, and they have expertly and hilariously captured the experience of being a young adult in today's world." The network's decision to renew Adults for a second season suggests that the series has resonated with its target audience and will continue to provide a relatable and entertaining look at the challenges of growing up.
