“Platonic” Season 2 Is Streaming Now on Sunset — Seth Rogen & Rose Byrne’s Midlife Friendship Comedy Is Back and Better Than Ever
It’s not a romance. It’s not exactly a buddy comedy either. Platonic is that rare gem of a series that finds the hilarity, chaos, and surprisingly heartfelt moments in a relationship that’s neither romantic nor casual — it’s the messy, ride-or-die friendship between two grown-ups who should probably know better by now.
Streaming now on Sunset, Platonic stars Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne as Will and Sylvia — former best friends who drifted apart years ago after a major falling-out. Now, in the thick of their 40s, they reconnect, and their friendship reignites with an intensity that derails the balance of their carefully constructed adult lives.
The Premise: Two People, Zero Romance, Maximum Chaos
Will (Rogen) is a laid-back craft beer entrepreneur with a knack for making bad decisions. Sylvia (Byrne) is a suburban mom trying to navigate the shifting sands of midlife. Their reunion starts innocently enough — a coffee here, a quick catch-up there — but soon, they’re dragging each other into every corner of their lives, disrupting marriages, work, and personal sanity.
The kicker? They’re not in love. They’re not “friends with benefits.” They’re simply two people with an undeniable connection that’s somehow more destabilizing than any romance could be.
Season 2: Bigger Laughs, Deeper Trouble
Season 2, which premiered August 6, 2025, takes the friendship to new levels of absurdity. Will and Sylvia juggle wedding drama, career crises, and personal meltdowns — often of their own making.
This season also expands the world of Platonic with a roster of hilarious guest stars, including Aidy Bryant, Kyle Mooney, and Beck Bennett, who bring fresh energy and perfectly awkward moments. Fan favorites Luke Macfarlane (as Sylvia’s patient-but-pushed-to-the-edge husband Charlie), Tre Hale (Andy, Will’s business partner), and Carla Gallo (Katie, Sylvia’s no-nonsense bestie) all return.
And if you’re into critical scores, Season 2 is riding high with a 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating — a rare feat for a comedy, proving that Platonic is just as smart and heartfelt as it is hilarious.
Why “Platonic” Works So Well
The secret sauce? Chemistry. Rogen and Byrne have an effortless back-and-forth that feels lived-in and authentic, whether they’re goofing off in a bar or having a brutally honest heart-to-heart.
Creators Nicholas Stoller (Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Neighbors) and Francesca Delbanco inject the scripts with razor-sharp wit while grounding the comedy in relatable midlife dilemmas. The show knows that friendship in your 40s isn’t always neat — sometimes it’s the thing that saves you, sometimes it’s the thing that wrecks your week.
Streaming Now — Your Next Weekend Binge
Whether you missed Season 1 when it premiered in May 2023 or you’ve been waiting impatiently for Season 2, Platonic is pure streaming comfort food — but with the emotional depth to stick with you after the laughs.
So, grab a drink (maybe not Will’s questionable craft beer), settle in, and watch as two people with no romantic tension still manage to create the most hilariously complicated relationship on TV.
Both seasons of Platonic are streaming now on Sunset.
