November 11, 2026

FX announced today that Adults has been renewed for a third season. The news comes less than three months after the comedy wrapped its 8-episode sophomore run. Today's pickup is for a supersized 16 episodes, which is double the length of each of its first two seasons. Series creators Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw have also signed a new overall deal with FX Productions.

"Ben and Rebecca have elevated Adults in every way, earning critical praise and a legion of devoted fans who have embraced the friend group as their own," said Nick Grad, President, FX Entertainment. "'Adults' showed significant growth in its sophomore year and we've seen the show inspire everything from memes to Halloween costumes, so the decision was easy – more episodes and a new deal at FX for Ben and Rebecca."

"We started working with FX over six years ago, back when Paul Baker was but a twinkle in all of our eyes," said Kronengold and Shaw. "In the years since, John and the rest of the team have taught us everything we know about how to lead, produce, and tell stories that make people feel like part of a community. They've become family, and we're so glad to make it official — and to start yelling at them like we do our parents."

The series follows five friends crashing together in a New York home. There they share their meals, anxieties, and occasionally, toothbrushes. They are trying to be good people, but are quickly realizing that nothing about the real world is simple, and all their best intentions tend to make things worse.
