“‘Platonic’ is proof there is no duo better at making us belly laugh at mid life 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.”
ABOUT THE SERIES
“Platonic” follows a platonic pair of former best friends (Rogen and Byrne) approaching midlife who reconnect after a long rift. The duo’s friendship becomes all-consuming — and hilariously destabilises their lives. Season two picks up with everyone’s favourite 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.
BEHIND THE SCENES
“Platonic” is produced by Sony Pictures Television, where Nick Stoller’s Global Solutions has an overall deal. 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.
