“Platonic” didn’t get nearly as much buzz as it deserved when it first dropped in 2023, but I loved it. Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne are hilarious together, and the show nails how messy and meaningful adult friendships can be. Whether they’re bickering over something dumb or accidentally blowing up each other’s lives, it all feels weirdly relatable — and really funny. So I’m pumped for Season 2, which hits Apple TV+ on Wednesday, Aug. 6, with the first two episodes. Here’s everything you need to know before it premieres.

Apple TV

Apple TV (formerly known as Apple TV+) is a subscription video streaming service for $14.99 per month, offering a growing slate of original series, films, documentaries, and specials. Unlike other platforms that combine licensed titles with originals, Apple TV is built entirely around exclusive programming, making it the home of critically acclaimed hits such as “Ted Lasso,” “Severance,” “The Morning Show,” and “Silo.” Its lineup continues to expand with award-winning dramas, comedies, family-friendly shows, and blockbuster original films like “CODA,” which won the Academy Award for Best Picture.

In October 2025, Apple TV agreed to a deal with Formula 1 to exclusively broadcast all Formula 1 races starting with the 2026 season.

Apple TV also features coverage of all regular-season matches for Major League Soccer (MLS) at no additional cost.

On August 28th, 2026, the price of Apple TV was increased from $12.99 per month to $14.99 per month, the second increase in as many years.

The service is available worldwide through the Apple TV app, which is built into Apple devices and supported on most smart TVs, streaming players like Roku and Fire TV, game consoles, and web browsers. Subscribers can watch on demand, download episodes and movies for offline viewing, and stream in 4K with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, where available. Apple TV also offers family sharing, allowing up to six people to use one subscription at no extra cost.

With a competitive monthly price and bundles available through Apple One — which combines Apple TV with Apple Music, Apple Arcade, iCloud storage, and more — the service continues to grow as a key part of Apple’s ecosystem. Apple TV delivers one of the strongest collections of exclusive content in the streaming space for viewers seeking prestige originals, cinematic storytelling, and seamless access across devices.

Yep, at least for a week. Apple TV+ has a seven-day free trial, so you can check out the first two episodes of “Platonic” Season 2 when they drop on Wednesday, Aug. 6 without paying a dime. Just remember to cancel before the trial’s up if you’re not planning to stick around — after that, it’s $10 a month for ad-free access to all the episodes.

Why do we recommend Apple TV+ for watching ‘Platonic’?

Because it’s the only place you’ll find it. “Platonic” is an Apple TV+ exclusive, so if you want to watch Season 2 when it premieres — or catch up on Season 1 — you’ll need a subscription. At $10 a month and completely ad-free, it’s one of the cheaper premium streamers out there.

What is ‘Platonic’ Season 2 about?

“Platonic” Season 2 picks up with Will and Sylvia trying to be each other’s go-to support system as they face a fresh batch of midlife chaos — think work drama, weddings, and partners dealing with their own crises. But being someone’s rock isn’t always easy, and in true “Platonic” fashion, their well-meaning attempts to help often lead to hilarious (and sometimes disastrous) results.

The new season keeps leaning into what made the first one great — sharp comedy, relatable messiness, and that undeniable Rogen-Byrne chemistry. Expect more of the duo’s awkward misadventures, from ridiculous arguments to crazy situations (there’s already a golf-ball-to-the-eye moment in the teaser), all while quietly exploring how friendships in your 40s can be just as complicated (and important) as any romantic relationship.

Who stars in ‘Platonic’?

Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne return as best friends Will and Sylvia in “Platonic,” bringing back the hilarious, slightly chaotic energy that made the first season so fun. Luke Macfarlane and Carla Gallo are also back, along with Tre Hale and Andrew Lopez. Season 2 adds some new faces too, with “Saturday Night Live” alums Aidy Bryant, Kyle Mooney, and Beck Bennett joining as guest stars to stir up even more trouble in Will and Sylvia’s already messy lives.

How can you watch ‘Platonic’ Season 1?

Catching up is easy — “Platonic” is an Apple TV+ exclusive, so all of Season 1 is streaming there right now. If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s worth binging before Season 2 drops. At just 10 episodes, it’s a quick, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt watch, and it’ll give you all the backstory on Will and Sylvia’s hilariously messy friendship.
