PlatonicĀ Season 2 ā More Laughs, More Chaos, Still Not a Romance
āStill chaotic. Still codependent. Still Platonic.ā
The worldās favorite non-romantic couple is backāand just as delightfully messy as ever. Rose ByrneĀ and Seth RogenĀ return for Season 2 of Platonic, the comedy that brilliantly redefines what it means to be "just friends." Premiering August 6, 2025, exclusively on Apple TV+, this season dives deeper into adult friendship, aging, and all the chaos that comes when you mix unresolved feelings with craft beer and emotional baggage.
šŗ The Story So Far...
PlatonicĀ follows Sylvia, a stay-at-home mom in the throes of a midlife identity crisis, and Will, her recently divorced former best friend. After a long estrangement, the two reconnectāand what starts as harmless catch-ups quickly spirals into full-blown codependency. Their friendship is loud, loyal, and completely unfiltered⦠but it also upends their lives in hilarious, cringeworthy, and deeply human ways.
Itās not a romance. Itās not exactly a healthy friendship. Itās something elseāand we canāt stop watching it.
š§Ø What to Expect in Season 2
While Season 1 ended with Sylvia and Will finally finding a rhythm amid their shared chaos, Season 2 cranks up the dysfunctionĀ with new characters, bigger life challenges, and an even messier dynamic.
Willās brewery is booming, but success comes with new pressuresāand a few questionable choices. Sylvia, on the other hand, is trying to balance her personal growth with family life, while still getting pulled back into Willās orbit like a human gravity well.
Add to the mix:
Aidy Bryant, Kyle Mooney, and Beck BennettĀ joining the cast for Season 2
Sylviaās husband CharlieĀ (Luke Macfarlane) navigating the awkward territory of being married to someone whose best friend is his polar opposite
More emotionally reckless decisions, more tequila, andāthankfullyāno romantic tension (we think)
š The Cast
The returning ensemble keeps the emotional beats grounded and the comedy sharp:
Rose ByrneĀ as Sylvia
Seth RogenĀ as Will
Luke MacfarlaneĀ as Charlie
Tre Hale, Andrew Lopez, Carla Gallo, and more
New Season 2 additions promise fresh energy and new comedic complications, especially with Aidy BryantĀ reportedly playing a character with "big friend group disruptor" potential.
š§Why It Works
Thereās something rare and refreshing about Platonicāit explores the depth of a male-female friendship without romanceĀ ever being the end goal. It's loud, vulnerable, a bit unhinged, and totally relatable for anyone whoās ever tried to juggle adulthood with friendships that are far from simple.
Under the direction of Francesca DelbancoĀ and Nicholas StollerĀ (the minds behind NeighborsĀ and Friends from College), the show finds its magic in awkward silences, passive-aggressive texts, and adult tantrums that are both hilarious and too real.
šŗ Where to Watch
šļø Premieres: August 6, 2025š Streaming Exclusively on: Apple TV+
You can binge Season 1 nowĀ on Apple TV+ to relive every cringe, spill, and emotional outburst before the new season arrives.
š¬ Final Thoughts
Still emotionally messy. Still wildly co-dependent. Still absolutely notĀ dating. PlatonicĀ Season 2 proves that friendship can be just as complicatedāand compellingāas any love story. With its sharp writing, grounded performances, and zero sugar-coating, itās the perfect series for anyone whoās ever had a friend who made their life better⦠and 100x more complicated.
So mark your calendars, pour a drink, and brace yourself. Sylvia and Will are backāand theyāre bringing the chaos.
