Who stars in Adults?
The cast of Adults includes Malik Elassal, Lucy Freyer, Jack Innanen, Amita Rao, and Owen Thiele, who make up the titular ensemble of twentysomethings making their way in New York. It has since been announced that Season 1’s guest stars include Charlie Cox, Julia Fox, D’Arcy Carden, Grace Kuhlenschmidt, John Reynolds, and Ray Nicholson, which is teased in the fun video above.
What is Adults about?
Adults follows a group of young friends doing their best to become people, despite not really being “good” or “people” quite yet. In the show, Samir (Elassal), Billie (Freyer), Paul Baker (Innanen), Issa (Rao), and Anton (Thiele) are crashing at Samir’s childhood home, where they’re sharing meals, anxiety, and, from time to time, toothbrushes.
The series puts a spotlight on the highs and lows of starting out in the adult world, whether these characters are trying to get ahead at work, navigating the healthcare system, hosting a dinner party, or dating in the age of Find My Friends. Together, they’re finding that nothing about the real world is simple and that all their best intentions only tend to make things worse.
Who makes Adults?
Adults is created for television by Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw, who executive produce the series alongside Nick Kroll, Stefani Robinson, Sarah Naftalis, Jonathan Krisel, and Alicia Van Couvering. The show is produced for television by FX Productions.
Stay tuned for more on Adults as we approach spring.
