Adults follows five New York friends as they struggle to come of age, in an FX comedy created by Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw.

Adults is a comedy series developed by FX and broadcast exclusively on Disney+. Created by Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw, the series features a group of roommates in New York City, in a house filled with childhood memories, where adult ambitions collide with a reality more chaotic than idealized.

When and where can I see Adults?

Adults will be broadcast on Disney+ from May 29, 2025 with the first four episodes and the sequel from July 2, 2025.

A trailer to introduce the characters

The first trailer for Adults reveals the quirky universe and ironic tone of this FX comedy, as five roommates face up to the responsibilities of the adult world.

Synopsis: In New York City, five twenty-something friends live in a roommate apartment and try to manage social expectations, professional failures and the complexities of human relationships, all the while trying to behave like real adults.

A generational comedy

Adults takes a satirical approach to the questioning of young adults in an unstable digital world. Driven by the experience of Nick Kroll(Big Mouth), Stefani Robinson(Atlanta), Sarah Naftalis and Jonathan Krisel, the writing combines absurdist humor with reflections on the blurred stages of post-student life.

A young cast and a few guests

The series stars Malik Elassal, Lucy Freyer, Jack Innanen, Amita Rao and Owen Thiele. Appearances by Charlie Cox, Julia Fox, D'Arcy Carden, John Reynolds and Ray Nicholson round out the eight-episode first season.

The essentials about Adults

Adults is a contemporary comedy about the confusion and awkwardness of adulthood, produced by FX Productions and broadcast on Disney+. With its gritty tone and short format, it appeals to a generation in search of bearings, between existential crises and absurd situations.
