Platonic season 2: Release date and latest news for Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne comedy
When will Rogen and Byrne be back in another season of the Apple TV+ series?
Seth Rogen is having a big year on Apple TV+. Not only did his new comedy show The Studio debut to rave reviews earlier in 2025, but now he's back for the second season of his show Platonic, in which he stars alongside Rose Byrne.
The series, which comes from creators Francesca Delbanco and Nicholas Stoller, sees Rogen and Byrne play old friends Will and Sylvia, who in season 1 reconnected after a long time.
First time around, their friendship became all-consuming and destabilised their lives - will they have it more together this time around? We doubt it.
Delbanco and Stoller had originally envisioned the show as an anthology, with season 2 following another set of friends and moving on from Will and Sylvia. However, they had too much fun working with Rogen and Byrne to let the opportunity to reunite slip away.
So, when will season 2 arrive and what do we know about it so far?
Read on for everything you need to know about Platonic season 2.
Will there be Platonic season 2?
There will!
It was confirmed in December 2023 that the series would be returning for a second outing, with co-creators Nick Stoller and Francesca Delbanco saying in a statement: "We’re so thrilled to have the opportunity to tell more stories with Seth, Rose and everyone at Apple TV+ and Sony.
"Season 2 spoiler alert: Will and Sylvia won’t get together this time either."
Meanwhile, Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+, said: "Since the first episodes of Platonic debuted on Apple TV+, global audiences have been charmed by the hilarious, wildly fun and relatable friendship that Rose and Seth have brought to life through their charismatic performances.

"We can’t wait for viewers to see these characters encounter even more comedic mayhem in season 2 thanks to our partners at Sony and to the brilliant minds of Francesca and Nick."
The synopsis for season 2 says that it "picks up with everyone’s favourite pair of best friends (Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne) as they contend with new midlife hurdles, including work, weddings and partners in crises. The duo tries their best to be each other’s rock — but sometimes rocks break things."
When will Platonic season 2 be released?
The first two episodes of Platonic season 2 will arrive on Apple TV+ on Wednesday 6th August 2025, just over two years after season 1 started airing.
Episodes will then be released weekly on Wednesdays until the 10th episode and season finale arrives on 1st October 2025.
