Platonic Season 3 Given the Green Light by Apple TV
Today, Apple TV announced a season three renewal of Platonic, the acclaimed global hit comedy starring and executive-produced by Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne. Platonic season two debuted with an impressive 100% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
“We couldn’t be more excited to get back into the world of ‘Platonic’ with our amazing partners, Rose and Seth and Sony and Apple,” said co-creators Nicholas Stoller and Francesca Delbanco.
“‘Platonic’ is proof there is no duo better at making us belly laugh at midlife crises than Seth and Rose,” said Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV.
“Nick and Francesca accomplished the rare feat of taking the show to the next level in season two, and, along with our partners at Sony, we can’t wait to see what they cook up for season three.”
Platonic follows a platonic pair of former best friends (Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne) approaching midlife who reconnect after a long rift. The duo’s friendship becomes all-consuming — and hilariously destabilizes their lives. Season two picks up with everyone’s favorite pair of best friends as they contend with new midlife hurdles, including work, weddings, and partners in crises.
The duo tries their best to be each other’s rock, but sometimes rocks break things. The season two cast also includes Luke Macfarlane and Carla Gallo, and introduces Aidy Bryant, Kyle Mooney, Beck Bennett, and Milo Manheim as guest stars.
Platonic is produced by Sony Pictures Television, which has an overall deal with Stoller’s Stoller Global Solutions. Byrne, Stoller, Delbanco, and Conor Welch executive produce, along with Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and James Weaver for Point Grey Pictures.
In addition to Platonic, Rogen stars in Apple TV’s celebrated hit comedy The Studio, which recently landed 23 Emmy Award nominations, including Outstanding Comedy Series, making it the most-nominated freshman comedy series in history. Rogen wrote, directed, and executive-produced The Studio alongside Goldberg. Byrne also stars in Apple TV’s dark comedy Physical.
