<em>The Studio</em> celebrated a significant triumph when the Emmy nominations were unveiled yesterday. Now, the spotlight shifts to Seth Rogen‘s other engaging series on Apple TV+, <em>Platonic</em>. This delightful comedy series, featuring Rogen alongside the talented Rose Byrne, is set to return for its highly anticipated second season next month. A freshly released trailer showcases the dynamic duo back in action, promising more laughter and heartfelt moments. The new season of Platonic is scheduled to premiere with two exciting episodes on August 6; following that, new episodes will be available weekly until the thrilling season finale, which will air on October 1.

In the newly released trailer, viewers see Sylvia (Byrne) and Will (Rogen) navigating the complexities of their close friendship, which begins to create some awkward dynamics between Will and his new fiancée, Jenna (Rachel Rosenbloom). Sylvia quickly realizes they need to engage in some “normal adult activities,” but true to the show’s comedic style, nothing depicted in the trailer fits that description. From a chaotic attempt to move a pressurized beer vat that hilariously launches Sylvia into the air, to a couples dinner that raises questions about gluten, and a rather gruesome golfing mishap, the trailer promises plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. Additionally, fans can look forward to guest appearances from a trio of Saturday Night Live veterans: Aidy Bryant (Shrill), Beck Bennett (Superman), and Kyle Mooney (Y2K).

Discover the Key Events from Season 1 of ‘Platonic’

At the start of the inaugural season of Platonic, the storyline revolves around Will and Sylvia, who have been lifelong friends but have experienced a rift in their relationship after Sylvia expressed her dislike for Will’s wife. However, the dynamics shift when Sylvia learns about Will’s impending divorce, prompting her to reach out and rekindle their friendship. Despite the contrasting paths they find themselves on—Will navigating life as a newly divorced man and Sylvia balancing her role as a dedicated stay-at-home wife to lawyer Charlie (Luke Macfarlane) while raising their three children—they soon fall back into their familiar rhythm of antics and adventures. Throughout the season, Sylvia embarks on a journey to re-enter the workforce, while Will tries to navigate the dating scene again; by the end of the season, Sylvia successfully discovers a new career path, and Will becomes engaged to Jenna.

Platonic was brought to life by the creative vision of Francesca Delbanco (Friends From College) and Nicholas Stoller (Forgetting Sarah Marshall). In addition to their roles as stars, Byrne and Rogen also serve as executive producers for the series. The show has garnered critical acclaim, currently boasting an impressive 93% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Collider’s Emily Bernard praised the first season, describing it as “a refreshing exploration of adult friendships with the opposite sex and the complications that inevitably (and unfairly) arise.”

Mark your calendars—season two of Platonic is set to premiere on August 6 on Apple TV+, with new episodes being released weekly leading up to the exciting season finale on October 1. Be sure to stay tuned to Collider for the latest updates and news regarding this beloved series.
