The Countdown to Adulthood Continues
Disney and FX have officially confirmed that the critically acclaimed ensemble comedy ‘Adults’ is returning for its second season this summer. Fans won’t have to wait much longer to see the return of their favorite chaotic roommates, as the new season is set to drop on Thursday, August 27, 2026. In a move that highlights the growing integration of the Disney streaming ecosystem, the series will be available across FXX, Hulu, and Disney+.
What to Expect in Season 2
Created by Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw, ‘Adults’ has quickly become a standout for its sharp, generational look at the messy reality of being in your twenties. The series follows five friends—Samir (Malik Elassal), Billie (Lucy Freyer), Paul Baker (Jack Innanen), Issa (Amita Rao), and Anton (Owen Thiele)—who are all living under one roof in Samir’s childhood home in New York City.
The second season promises eight brand-new episodes that dive deeper into the hilarious humiliations of young adulthood. According to early details, the housemates will deal with a variety of relatable (and slightly cringeworthy) dilemmas, including:
- The Fake ID Crisis: Realizing the younger generation who inherited your fake ID is officially cooler than you’ll ever be.
- The Boring Job Struggle: Learning how to tell your friends you actually enjoy your stable, corporate office job.
- Family Regression: Discovering why being around your parents makes you immediately revert to your worst childhood self.
- The Fear of Change: Navigating the delicate balance of wanting to grow up while desperately needing everything to stay exactly the same.
A Star-Studded Guest Lineup
One of the biggest highlights for the upcoming season is the massive list of guest stars joining the fold. Disney has revealed that Season 2 will feature appearances by comedy legends and fan favorites, including Susie Essman, Raven-Symoné, and Gaten Matarazzo. They’ll be joined by Zosia Mamet, Ben Marshall, Isaac Powell, and internet personality Jake Shane, adding even more comedic firepower to the ensemble.
