According to the official description for Season 2, the new episodes will continue exploring the insecurities and mistakes that define early adulthood. The friends will face questions about identity, work and family while trying to avoid difficult conversations and protect the people around them.

The synopsis teases storylines involving fake identification mishaps, complicated family relationships and the struggle to accept changing priorities as the characters grow older. Despite the chaos surrounding them, the group continues to rely on one another through both successes and embarrassing failures.

The comedy debuted to positive reviews for its relatable portrayal of life in one’s twenties and its ensemble chemistry. Season 2 aims to build on those strengths while introducing fresh challenges and new faces.

Adults is executive produced by creators Kronengold and Shaw alongside Nick Kroll, Sarah Naftalis, Jonathan Krisel, Alicia Van Couvering and Rob Rosell. The series is produced by FX Productions.
