Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne Will Make You Laugh Out Loud in ‘Platonic’ Season 2 Trailer
Your favorite platonic twosome is back.
Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne make their long-awaited return as friends Will and Sylvia in a new trailer that dropped Thursday. It’s been two years since viewers last saw the Neighbors co-stars reuniting for the small screen on their critically acclaimed Apple comedy, which returns Aug. 6.
This time around, Will’s new relationship potentially threatens the 25-year unique friendship between Will and Sylvia that they repaired last season. Sylvia laments to her husband (Luke Macfarlane) that it would take way too long to replace Will, so they have to figure out how to make it work. They enter into “appropriate” adult behavior, like couples dinners with Will and his new girlfriend, in the heart-warming trailer (below) that also contains several laugh-out-loud moments of physical comedy.
The first two episodes of the 10-episode season release Aug. 6, followed by one episode weekly until Oct. 1.

Co-created, directed and co-written by Nicholas Stoller and Francesca Delbanco, Platonic‘s season two picks up with the besties “as they contend with new mid-life hurdles including work, weddings and partners in crises. The duo tries their best to be each other’s rock — but sometimes rocks break things,” per the synopsis.
The season two cast also includes Carla Gallo and adds Aidy Bryant, Kyle Mooney, Beck Bennett and Milo Manheim as guest stars.
Platonic was initially set to be a limited series. The Studio star said the reception to the series sparked them to continue. “I really just wanted to see if we were happy with it when it came out — and if everyone else was happy with it. I was kind of nervous about how high my standards were for what we were doing, and I wanted to make sure that we could actually do it. And then once I saw that we could, I was like, ‘OK, we should keep doing it,’” Rogen previously told The Hollywood Reporter.
Platonic is produced by Sony Pictures Television, where Stoller’s Global Solutions has an overall deal. Byrne, Stoller, Delbanco and Conor Welch executive produce along with Rogen, Evan Goldberg and James Weaver for Point Grey Pictures.
