Introduction

Created by Nick Stoller and Francesca Delbanco, Platonic follows former college friends Sylvia (Rose Byrne) and Will (Seth Rogen) who reconnect in their 40s, rekindling a chaotic dynamic that disrupts their carefully curated lives. Season 2 picks up after last year’s brawl and sees the pair rebuilding their friendship while dealing with divorce, second chances and a risky business venture.

Plot & Themes

After the falling-out at Sylvia’s birthday party, Will and Sylvia attempt to stay away from each other — at least for a few episodes. However, fate (and mutual curiosity) pull them back together. Will’s craft brewery is thriving but attracting corporate suitors; Sylvia is exploring a new career path and grappling with her feelings as her husband Charlie spends more time in New York. Season 2 explores how platonic friendships can be just as intense and messy as romantic ones, highlighting communication, boundaries and the challenges of growing up without growing apart.
