Disney+ is adding another buzzy title to its general entertainment slate with the highly anticipated FX comedy series Adults, which will premiere exclusively on Disney+ Australia on May 29, 2025. All eight episodes of the ensemble series will drop at once, offering a binge-worthy comedy for fans of sharp, character-driven storytelling.
Created by The Tonight Show alums Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw, Adults promises to bring heart, humor, and just enough absurdity to the struggles of post-grad life. With a stellar cast and an impressive production team, this FX original could quickly become a breakout hit for Disney+.
Plot Summary: Adulting in the Age of Chaos
Adults is an ensemble comedy set in New York City, focused on five twenty-somethings living together in the chaos of young adulthood. When Samir (played by Malik Elassal) invites his mismatched group of friends to live in his childhood home, the result is part therapy session, part survivalist comedy.
Joining Samir are his housemates:
- Billie (Lucy Freyer), a self-serious creative always on the verge of a meltdown
- Paul (Jack Innanen), a people-pleaser with no backbone
- Issa (Amita Rao), the most responsible of the group—though that’s not saying much
- Anton (Owen Thiele), their offbeat, big-hearted wildcard
Together, they fumble through healthcare bureaucracy, moral debates over Find My Friends, awkward dinner parties, and the harsh realities of “being a grown-up” — all with FX’s signature comedic edge.
Behind the Scenes: The FX Comedy Powerhouse
The FX Adults Disney+ premiere brings with it a powerhouse of talent behind the camera. Executive producers include:
- Nick Kroll (Big Mouth, The League)

- Jonathan Krisel (Baskets, English Teacher)
Series creators Kronengold and Shaw also serve as executive producers, along with Alicia Van Couvering (Tiny Furniture, Drinking Buddies) under Kroll’s production label, Good At Business. The series is produced by FX Productions and showcases the network’s continued investment in high-concept, character-driven comedy.

- Charlie Cox
- Julia Fox

These appearances are poised to elevate the show’s appeal, with many guest stars playing against type in hilariously unhinged roles.
