Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne Return for More Fun and Chaos in First Look at 'Platonic' Season 2: Watch!
Apple TV+ unveiled a first look at Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne's return to Platonic for season 2
The actors play best friends Will and Sylvie in the comedy series
The sophomore season returns on Wednesday, Aug. 6 on Apple TV+Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne are back for more bestie shenanigans in the first look at Platonic season 2.
Apple TV+ dropped a short teaser and images for the forthcoming season on Tuesday, May 20. The streamer also revealed the series' return date of Wednesday, Aug. 6 — nearly two years after the first season concluded.
The teaser begins with Rogen's Will and Byrne's Sylvia riding on the back of a golf cart.
Sylvia refuses to pick up a club, saying, "Oh no, not me. I've never held one of these. I don't even know why I'm here." Will, however, steps up to the tee to take a swing, only to send the ball flying into the eye of a fellow golfer, leading to a frantic 911 call and lots of yelling.
Platonic, co-created by Nick Stoller and Francesca Delbanco, centers on Will and Sylvia as former best friends who reconnect after a long rift and help each other hilariously navigate life's ups and downs as they approach midlife.
Ahead of the show's 2023 premiere, Byrne told PEOPLE that going from playing spouses with Rogen in the Neighbors films, released in 2014 and 2016, to playing best friends in Platonic was "different."
"The dynamic is just intuitive. And we realized that day one, like, 'Oh, yeah, all right. We can do these things, but we can't do these things.' It was an opportunity to discover different ways to find the comedy," she explained.
Byrne added that the show "lives and dies on the friendship and the chemistry" of her and Rogen's characters.
In addition to Rogen and Byrne, both executive producers on the project, Luke Macfarlane and Carla Gallo reprise their characters from season 1.

Conner Smith's Rep Gives Update After Nashville Fatal Accident
Rising country star Conner Smith's representative has now responded to the news that Smith was involved in a fatal accident in Nashville, TN, that left an elderly woman dead. Smith's rep told People that he was 'involved in a car accident that tragically claimed a life.' Smith was not injured. The crash occurred on the evening of June 8, and Dorothy Dobbins, 77, was killed after being struck by a pickup truck driven by Smith, the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department wrote in a news release. 'His heart goes out to Ms. Dobbins' family during this incredibly difficult time,' Smith's rep's statement said, according to People. 'Mr. Smith continues to cooperate fully with the ongoing investigation.' People noted that sources told the publication that Smith was not impaired at the time of the crash nor "distracted by his phone." Smith has 200,000 followers on Instagram. According to 9News, he is best known for the "viral hit 'I Hate Alabama' and released his debut album, 'Smoky Mountains,' in 2024." He "was nominated for New Male Artist of the Year at the ACM Awards last year," the station reported. "The pedestrian killed Sunday night after she was struck by a vehicle on 3rd Avenue North near Van Buren Street is identified as 77-year-old Dorothy Dobbins," police wrote. "The preliminary investigation indicates that a Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck, driven by Conner Smith, 24, was traveling north on 3rd Avenue North as Dobbins was crossing the roadway," the release says. "It appears that she was inside a marked crosswalk when she was struck around 7:30 p.m. Dobbins, who lived nearby, was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where she died." "The preliminary contributing factor for this crash appears to be Smith failing to yield the right of way to the pedestrian. He showed no signs of impairment. There are no charges at present as the investigation continues," the release Smith's Rep Gives Update After Nashville Fatal Accident first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 10, 2025

Walton Goggins' Wife Nadia Conners Breaks Silence on Aimee Lou Wood Speculation
Walton Goggins' wife, Nadia Conners, addressed speculation about his relationship to White Lotus costar Aimee Lou Wood. 'It's odd to see [the speculation], but it's an indication of how much people were invested in the fictional characters,' Conners, 55, said in an interview with Hello! Magazine published on Friday, May 16. 'I take it as a sign that he's become quite popular.' Goggins, 53, and Wood, 31, played doomed lovers Rick and Chelsea in the third season of the HBO Emmy-winning anthology series. The costars took part in promotion of the show together, but fans noticed they soon stopped following one another on social media. Goggins reacted to Saturday Night Live's April parody of The White Lotus via Instagram by calling the sketch 'amazzzingggg' whereas Wood found the spoof 'mean and unfunny' due to SNL cast member Sarah Sherman depicting her with fake teeth to resemble her gap. (Sherman later offered a mea culpa by sending Wood flowers and Wood insisted she never personally blamed the comedian.) Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood's Sweetest Friendship Moments: From 'The White Lotus' and Beyond Speculation about the pair reached a fever pitch earlier this month when Goggins walked out of an interview with the London Times due to repeated questions about his relationship with Wood. Goggins initially told the reporter he wasn't 'going to have that conversation' before ending the interview when Wood was brought up again. 'There's no conversation to be had about that. [It's like] sharing politics on social media — it's in a vacuum,' he insisted. However, the two White Lotus stars started following each other again on Instagram shortly after. Wood also offered her support for Goggins hosting SNL on May 10 while attending the Met Gala in New York City on May 5. '[Working with Walton] was the best thing ever,' Wood added. 'He's going to be incredible doing SNL. It's the perfect thing for him to do. It's going to be hilarious. I'm so excited to see it.' Fans hoping to see Wood reunite with Goggins on Saturday Night Live were likely disappointed since she didn't appear — though White Lotus cast member Sam Rockwell did cameo alongside Goggins on the NBC sketch show last weekend. As for Goggins' marriage, he was first wed to Leanne Kaun in 2001 but she tragically died in 2004. He married Conners in 2011 and they share a son, Augustus, born 2011. Walton Goggins Says He Would Call Pedro Pascal If He 'Needed an Intervention' Amid 'White Lotus' Fame In her new interview with Hello!, Conners spoke about writing and directing The Uninvited, a comedy-drama about a dinner party gone horribly wrong. Goggins starred in the movie as a drug-addicted Hollywood talent agent, but Conners insisted her marriage did not inspire the film. "Walton was reading through the script with me at home and I was like, 'Oh my God.' What he brings to the character, it was sharp, almost killer energy,' she said. 'I wrote it about a marriage, but not my marriage, which concerned him – he was like: 'But I'm not this guy.' It was really important for him to say that he was not this guy. I said: 'I know, but you're a great actor, so you can pretend.'' The Uninvited is now playing in theaters.

'All I know is that I awake every morning thinking the hourglass is running out,' she said. 'It's not that I feel old, but that I think there is something I must say, something I must do before I die.' Looking back on that interview in a 2024 conversation with Vanity Fair, Shaw said, 'Aren't you glad you're not meeting that woman now? Maybe at that time, the careers for men were so much better that I was so pleased to have one ... so I suspect the intensity came from that. That and: 'When you're being interviewed, you want to say very important things. I've stopped trying to do that.'"
