Will there be a ‘Platonic’ season three?

The second season of Platonic has come to an end on Apple TV+, but will it be returning? Find all the latest info below. 

The comedy series stars Rose Byrne as Sylvia and Seth Rogen as Will, two former best friends who reconnect in midlife after years apart. As their friendship reignites, their lives begin to destabilise. 

The first season debuted in May 2023, while the first two episodes of season two landed on Apple TV+ on August 6. The remaining eight episodes arrives on a weekly basis up until the season finale on Wednesday (October 1). 

Platonic was created by the husband-and-wife team of Francesca Delbanco and Nicholas Stoller, who previously collaborated on Friends From College. Stoller has also directed Neighbors and Forgetting Sarah Marshall and was a writer on The Muppets, Yes Man and Zoolander 2. 

Luke Macfarlane (Bros) co-stars as Sylvia’s husband, with Aidy Bryant, Kyle Mooney and Back Bennett all making recurring appearances in the second season. 

Season two has been well received, currently sitting on an impressive 96 per cent critics score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. 

Will there be a Platonic season three?

At the time of writing, there has been no official word from Apple TV+ as to whether Platonic has been renewed for a third season. 

The streaming service’s decision will likely be steered by audience reaction and viewership ratings, and given the seemingly positive reception to the new season, the chances appear to be good. 

The original plan for Platonic was for each season to have a distinct cast and set of storylines, but after the success of season one and the chemistry between Byrne and Rogen, they decided to return to the same characters again. 

Rogen has indicated that he would like to return for a third season, telling Decider: “I would love to keep doing Platonic. I think there are really great storylines for the season. And it’s something I would love to keep doing as long as people enjoy watching it.”
