Platonic Season 2 â More Laughs, More Chaos, Still Not a Romance
âStill chaotic. Still codependent. Still Platonic.â
The worldâs favorite non-romantic couple is backâand just as delightfully messy as ever. Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen 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.
đș The Story So Far...
Platonic 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 reconnectâand 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.
Itâs not a romance. Itâs not exactly a healthy friendship. Itâs something elseâand we canât stop watching it.
đ§š 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 dysfunction with new characters, bigger life challenges, and an even messier dynamic.
Willâs brewery is booming, but success comes with new pressuresâand 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 Willâs orbit like a human gravity well.
Add to the mix:
Aidy Bryant, Kyle Mooney, and Beck Bennett joining the cast for Season 2
Sylviaâs husband Charlie (Luke Macfarlane) navigating the awkward territory of being married to someone whose best friend is his polar opposite
More emotionally reckless decisions, more tequila, andâthankfullyâno romantic tension (we think)
đ The Cast
The returning ensemble keeps the emotional beats grounded and the comedy sharp:
Rose Byrne as Sylvia
Seth Rogen as Will
Luke Macfarlane as Charlie
Tre Hale, Andrew Lopez, Carla Gallo, and more
New Season 2 additions promise fresh energy and new comedic complications, especially with Aidy Bryant reportedly playing a character with "big friend group disruptor" potential.
đ§Why It Works
Thereâs something rare and refreshing about Platonicâit explores the depth of a male-female friendship without romance ever being the end goal. It's loud, vulnerable, a bit unhinged, and totally relatable for anyone whoâs ever tried to juggle adulthood with friendships that are far from simple.
Under the direction of Francesca Delbanco and Nicholas Stoller (the minds behind Neighbors 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.
đș Where to Watch
đïž Premieres: August 6, 2025đ Streaming Exclusively on: Apple TV+
You can binge Season 1 now on Apple TV+ to relive every cringe, spill, and emotional outburst before the new season arrives.
đŹ Final Thoughts
Still emotionally messy. Still wildly co-dependent. Still absolutely not dating. Platonic Season 2 proves that friendship can be just as complicatedâand compellingâas any love story. With its sharp writing, grounded performances, and zero sugar-coating, itâs the perfect series for anyone whoâs 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 backâand theyâre bringing the chaos.
