Adults renewed for third season as episode count rises to 16
The FX comedy’s cast announced the renewal on November 11, with the next season set to have twice as many episodes as season two.
FX’s Adults has been renewed for a third season featuring 16 episodes, doubling its previous eight-episode run. The cast revealed the renewal in a November 11 video, and actor Jack Innanen included the episode count in his accompanying caption.
A separate video posted by the comedy’s official account marked the announcement with a compilation of characters saying “three” during season two.
The ensemble comedy centers on five New York friends in their 20s who share Samir’s childhood home. Malik Elassal portrays Samir, Lucy Freyer plays Billie and Innanen plays Paul Baker. Amita Rao and Owen Thiele portray Issa and Anton, respectively.
After the second season premiered in August, creators Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw discussed where the story might go. Shaw told The Wrap that the aftermath of the finale would unfold differently for Billie and Samir than for Anton and Paul Baker. Addressing audience requests for more episodes, Kronengold said he hoped further seasons would offer room to explore the characters’ less eventful days.
