‘Adults’ Season 3: Updates on the Release Date, Cast & More – Hollywood Life

The internet will most certainly never forget the most famous lines and moments from Adults. From “Who f**ked you, Annabelle?!” to a crawling, peeping-tom raccoon, the FX series will continue its successful run with a third season! The network renewed the show for season 3 in November 2026, just months after season 2 premiered on Hulu.

“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,” Nick Grad, President, FX Entertainment, said in a statement. “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.”

Creators Ben Kronengold & Rebecca Shaw added in their own statement, “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 speaking with Hollywood Life exclusively at the New York City season 2 premiere, Rebecca discussed how they formed the characters’ relationships while maintaining the authenticity of living life in your 20s.

“I think that in season one, a theme we talked a lot about in the writer’s room was responsibility,” the series co-creator noted. “Whether that’s figuring out health insurance or figuring out how to, you know, write a check. But I think the thing that was really exciting and all of that is you haven’t figured out much, but if you can figure out how to be there for your friends when they’re in their embarrassing moments, you’re at least on the right track.”

Hollywood Life is keeping you updated on everything we know so far about season 3 of Adults right here!

When Does Adults Season 3 Come Out?

It’s definitely too early for a release date announcement. Production on the third season hasn’t even started.

The first two seasons premiered just over a year apart from one another. Season 1 debuted in May 2025, and season 2 came out in August 2026. So, as long as production on the third season begins soon, we can probably expect season 3 to premiere in late 2027.

How Many Episodes Will Adults Season 3 Have?

There will be 16 episodes in season 3, a surprise for viewers since the first two seasons only have eight episodes each.

Is the Whole Adults Cast Returning for Season 3?

Presumably, yes! The main cast members — Malik Elassal, Lucy Freyer, Jack Innanen, Amita Rao and Owen Thiele — are expected to reprise their respective roles.

At the NYC season 2 premiere, Jack spoke with Hollywood Life exclusively on the red carpet about his character Paul Baker’s story so far.

“I think that Paul Baker was weirdly analogous to my life, where I, especially in my early 20s, didn’t really feel like I belonged in a bounced friend group to friend group,” Jack explained. “And then now in New York, I feel like I still have like little pockets of friends, but I don’t have a friend group like this.”
