Adults Renewed for a Super-Sized Season 3 at FX
Adults has been renewed for a 16-episode third season on FX!
The good new for the comedy series comes nearly three months after its eight-episode sophomore season dropped on Hulu.
The Ankler was the first to report the renewal that comes with double the episodes. Owen Thiele, who plays Anton on the show, shared the news on Instagram. “6 EPISODES??? THIS WAS ALL U,” he wrote.
Both of Adults‘s previous seasons consisted of eight episodes. FX released “Marathon Day,” a special prequel-esque episode in July. It now sits as the first episode of the second season.
The show debuted in May 2025 and stars Thiele as Anton, Malik Elassa as Samir, Lucy Freyer as Billie, Jack Innanen as Paul Baker, and Amita Rao as Issa. Adults follow the twenty-something characters as they navigate their professional and personal lives while living in Samir’s parents house in New York.
The core cast celebrated Adults‘s renewal with a video on Instagram. It also revealed that production on the third season is slated to start soon.
Variety reports that the renewal comes amid the show’s creators Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw setting a new overall deal with FX Productions.
“We started working with FX over six years ago, back when Paul Baker was but a twinkle in all of our eyes,” Kronengold and Shaw said in a statement.
“In the years since, John [Landgraf] and the rest of the team have taught us everything we know about how to lead, produce, and tell stories that make people feel like part of a community. They’ve become family, and we’re so glad to make it official — and to start yelling at them like we do our parents,” they added.
Kronengold and Shaw are also executive producers and showrunners on Adults.
“Ben and Rebecca have elevated ‘Adults’ in every way, earning critical praise and a legion of devoted fans who have embraced the friend group as their own,” Nick Grad, president of FX Entertainment, shared.
“Adults showed significant growth in its sophomore year and we’ve seen the show inspire everything from memes to Halloween costumes, so the decision was easy – more episodes and a new deal at FX for Ben and Rebecca!”
This renewal was reported ahead of two cancellations at FX. Grotesquerie and The Beauty will not return for second seasons at the network, per TVLine.
Adults‘s executive producers also include Nick Kroll, Sarah Naftalis, Jonathan Krisel, Alicia Van Couvering, and Rob Rosell. FX Productions is the studio behind the series.
