FX has renewed Adults for a third season, less than three months after the comedy concluded its second season. The new season will consist of 16 episodes, doubling the eight-episode orders of each of its first two seasons.

The expanded renewal follows significant audience growth during the show’s sophomore run, with FX highlighting its growing popularity and strong critical reception. Series creators Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw have also signed a new overall deal with FX Productions.

The comedy follows five friends sharing a home in New York City as they navigate the challenges of adulthood, relationships and everyday responsibilities. Despite their best intentions, their attempts to make sensible decisions frequently create more problems than they solve.

Nick Grad, President of FX Entertainment, welcomed the renewal, saying:

“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. ‘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.”

Added Kronengold and Shaw:

“We started working with FX over six years ago, back when Paul Baker was but a twinkle in all of our eyes. 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.”

While the larger episode order signals continued confidence in the series, FX has not indicated whether Season 3 will be its last or whether the comedy could continue into Season 4. Any further renewal will depend on the network’s future decisions and the show’s performance.

Adults Season 3 is slated to release in late 2027 on FX.
