Adults stars Malik Elassal, Lucy Freyer, Jack Innanen, Amita Rao and Owen Thiele attended the L.A. iteration's opening party. 'This is so on-theme with the show,' Inannen told The Hollywood Reporter from the event. 'I feel like laundromats, especially for a young New Yorker — this is a staple of the experience.' FX Network's senior vp of integrated promotions Kenya Hardaway Green explains that the team was aiming to introduce the show in an unexpected way. Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw, known for their work on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, created the series that counts Nick Kroll among its executive producers. 'We were presented with the idea of laundromats as a destination, and from there, the idea began to take shape,' Green says. 'How could we turn a mundane task like doing laundry into the ultimate experience for our target audience? We designed a space that married unexpected moments with the realities of the location, resulting in the ultimate house party. It felt like a fitting way to kick off the season.' For her part, Freyer praised the innovative opportunity for fans to experience the energy of the show. 'The thing that I love about FX is, they're really creative with everything that they do,' the actress said. 'I really trust every creative decision they make. This is such a cool, interesting vibe. I love it.' Innanen remains excited for viewers to see an authentic take on contemporary NYC life. 'The biggest thing is, it's very, very real,' he says of Adults. 'These are real kids that I walk by on the Lower East Side. You can pick out anyone from anywhere.' In her review of the series for The Hollywood Reporter, critic Angie Han wrote, 'Adults' greatest strength is a core cast with chemistry for days.'
