"Platonic" Creators Tease Exciting Season 2 of Apple TV+ Comedy

As of August 1st, 2025, the Apple TV+ comedy "Platonic" is gearing up for its highly anticipated second season. The series, which premiered two years ago, has been praised for its unique approach to exploring the dynamics of a platonic friendship.

In a recent interview, co-stars Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne discussed the show's groundbreaking nature. Byrne noted that "Platonic" has "a very light touch" and is "relatable and heartfelt" in its portrayal of the "entirely dysfunctional and wonderful" relationship between their characters, Sylvia and Will. Rogen echoed this sentiment, stating that the show's focus on friendship rather than romance is a "relatively contemporary idea" that challenges the traditional narrative structures of television and film.

The show's co-creators, Francesca Delbanco and Nicholas Stoller, explained that the lack of representation for platonic relationships is precisely why they created "Platonic" in the first place. Delbanco said, "It's one of those things that people have in their lives, but don't reflect on much. It's an important ingredient in anybody's happiness and longevity." Stoller added that finding compelling story arcs for a show about friends, rather than romantic partners or family, has been a unique challenge.

As for what's in store for Season 2, the co-stars and co-creators remained tight-lipped, but promised an exciting continuation of the series' exploration of the complexities of platonic relationships. With the first season's critical acclaim and the growing demand for more diverse and nuanced storytelling, "Platonic" is poised to continue its groundbreaking run on Apple TV+.
