Platonic, featuring the highly anticipated reunion of Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen, is set to be one of 2023’s biggest comedy series when it hits Apple TV+ later this year.
The streaming service unveiled the premiere date and first look images from the 10-episode series, which will focus on a platonic pair of former best friends whose lives change once they reconnect. Byrne and Rogen, who previously appeared together in Neighbors and its sequel, will reunite to show off their comedic chops for this small-screen venture.
This series also marks the second collaboration between Apple TV+ and Byrne, who also stars in the Apple Original series Physical, which will debut its third season later this year.
