‘Adults’ Renewed for Season 3 at FX With a Supersized 16 Episodes

Apparently, being a complete mess in your twenties is paying off because FX isn't ready to say goodbye to the roommates of Adults just yet. The comedy has officially been renewed for a third season, and the network is giving fans something they've been asking for: more episodes!

According to The Ankler, which broke the news on November 11, FX has ordered a whopping 16 episodes for Season 3, doubling the eight-episode count of its second season. The new season is expected to arrive in 2027, although an exact premiere date has not been announced.

And if you've been following the chaos inside that Queens house, you already know these people could easily fill 16 episodes with questionable decisions, awkward relationships, and conversations that probably should have stayed in the group chat.

FX Is Betting Big on ‘Adults’

The renewal comes after a successful second season that reportedly saw viewership climb by more than 60 percent. Not bad for a comedy about five twenty-somethings who can barely figure out their own lives, let alone how to be functioning members of society.

Created by Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw, Adults stars Malik Elassal, Lucy Freyer, Jack Innanen, Amita Rao, and Owen Thiele as a group of friends navigating love, careers, friendships, and all the ridiculous situations that come with figuring out adulthood. FX is clearly happy with what the creators have built. Along with the renewal, Kronengold and Shaw have signed an overall deal with the network, keeping the creative duo in the FX family.

The expanded episode order is particularly exciting considering how many streaming comedies have settled into seasons of eight or ten episodes. Sometimes you just want to hang out with your favorite fictional disasters for a little longer, and FX is actually letting viewers do that.

Season 2 Left Plenty of Unfinished Business

Anyone who watched the second-season finale knows these roommates have some explaining to do when we see them again. Anton and Paul Baker finally gave fans a moment worth celebrating after their complicated relationship took another romantic turn. Meanwhile, Billie and Samir managed to create an entirely different mess of their own, secretly hooking up and leaving viewers wondering how that little surprise is going to affect the rest of the house.

And poor Issa? Something tells us she's going to have plenty of opinions once everybody's secrets start coming out. With 16 episodes on the way, the writers will have plenty of time to explore the fallout without rushing through the awkward conversations, romantic disasters, and terrible decisions that make the series so entertaining.

When Will ‘Adults’ Season 3 Premiere?

FX is targeting 2027 for the third season, but an exact release date hasn't been announced. For now, fans can revisit the first two seasons on Hulu while waiting to see what trouble Samir, Billie, Anton, Paul Baker, and Issa manage to get themselves into next.

Sixteen episodes of Adults? We'll take it. These roommates have barely figured out their twenties, and frankly, neither have we.
