FX has officially renewed the Gen Z comedy series Adults for a third season. The network has ordered sixteen new episodes of the show, which will air on both FXX and Hulu. Alongside the season renewal, the network announced that creators Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw have signed a new overall deal with FX Productions.
Nick Grad, president of FX Entertainment, praised the creative team in a statement released on November 11, 2026. He noted that Kronengold and Shaw have elevated the series in every aspect, earning critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base. Grad stated that viewers have embraced the on-screen friend group as their own, reflecting the show's strong cultural resonance.
Grad highlighted the show's performance during its second year, pointing to significant growth in viewership. He mentioned that the series has inspired various cultural trends, including memes and Halloween costumes, which made the decision to continue the series straightforward. The renewal ensures more episodes for the audience and secures the creators' future with the network.
The series stars Malik Elassal, Lucy Freyer, Jack Innanen, Amita Rao, and Owen Thiele. The five actors portray a group of friends who share a house in Queens and maintain few boundaries in their personal lives. The first two seasons of the show, each consisting of eight episodes, are currently available for streaming.
In the United States, previous seasons can be watched on Hulu and by Hulu bundle subscribers on Disney+. Internationally, the series is available on Disney+. The show has maintained a consistent release schedule, with the second season following the initial run.
Kronengold and Shaw shared their own statement to mark the occasion. They recalled starting their collaboration with FX more than six years ago, referencing a period when executive Paul Baker was just beginning his tenure. The creators expressed gratitude to John and the rest of the team for teaching them how to lead, produce, and tell stories that foster a sense of community.
The creators described the FX team as family and expressed happiness at making their professional relationship official. They joked that they are now glad to start yelling at the team in the same way they do with their parents, highlighting the close bond formed over the years.
FX noted that the second season of Adults experienced a notable increase in streaming viewership. This growth was attributed to the release of a standalone prequel episode titled Marathon Day. The positive reception of this additional content contributed to the decision to expand the series.
The second season was executive produced by Kronengold, Shaw, Nick Kroll, Sarah Naftalis, Jonathan Krisel, Alicia Van Couvering, and Rob Rosell. The series continues to be produced by FX Productions, which oversees the development and distribution of the show across its platforms.
The announcement of the third season and the new overall deal signals the network's commitment to the franchise. With a substantial order of sixteen episodes, the show is positioned for a longer run, allowing the creators to further develop the characters and storylines that have captured the attention of a younger demographic.
