Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen are just friends in the upcoming Apple TV+ comedy series Platonic, which is set to debut with the first three episodes on Wednesday, May 24, followed by new episodes weekly.

Co-created by Nick Stoller and Francesca Delbanco, the half-hour comedy follows a platonic pair of former best friends approaching midlife (Rogen and Byrne) who reconnect after a long rift. Soon, the duo’s friendship becomes all-consuming, destabilizing their lives in a hilarious way.

In addition to Byrne and Rogen, who also serve as executive producers, the cast includes Luke Macfarlane (Bros), Tre Hale (Love and Monsters), Carla Gallo (Future Man), and Andrew Lopez (Blockers).

Platonic is produced by Sony Pictures Television, where Stoller and his Stoller Global Solutions production company have an overall deal. Stoller will serve as an exec producer alongside Delbanco and Conor Welch. Stoller and Delbanco will also co-direct the series.
