Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne’s Reunion Causes Chaos in First Trailer for Apple’s ‘Platonic’

Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne reconnect and somehow cause destruction to multiple homes in the first trailer for the Apple TV+ series Platonic.

The 10-episode comedy launches May 24 from co-creators Nick Stoller and Francesca Delbanco, who co-wrote and directed the project. The cast includes Luke Macfarlane, Tre Hale, Carla Gallo and Andrew Lopez.

Platonic follows Sylvia (Byrne) and Will (Rogen), former best friends who suffered a falling-out and reunite as they approach midlife. The trailer teases the chaos that ensues after they begin spending a lot of time together, as seen by the pair destroying a garage, Sylvia knocking over wine bottles in a store and Will walking through a glass door.

At one point in the footage, Will’s friend warns him that men can’t be friends with women. “There’s lots of famous men and women friends,” Will replies. “Laura Dern and Sam Neill in Jurassic Park.”
Later in the trailer, Sylvia tries her best to explain to her husband (Macfarlane) why she’s been spending so much time with her resurfaced friend. “It’s embarrassing being a mess in front of you,” Sylvia says. “And Will’s a much bigger mess than I am.”

Platonic hails from Sony Pictures Television. Byrne, Rogen, Stoller, Delbanco and Conor Welch are executive producers.

Byrne’s recent credits include leading the Apple TV+ series Physical, while Rogen appeared in last year’s Hulu series Pam & Tommy. The pair starred together in the 2014 feature Neighbors and its 2016 sequel, both of which were directed by Stoller.

Platonic launches its first three half-hour episodes May 24, with new episodes debuting weekly on Wednesdays

First 3 episodes are streaming now.

[Naiera]

Funny ass hell. It's no Shrinking, but not much is. It delivers what it sets out to, in terms of the main duo.

[John1701D]

Really funny first episode.

[djgeneral]

Going to watch this today

[DVD Josh]

I loved Neighbors, I thought they were great in it. I will check this one out!

[supersix4]

Thought the first few episodes were really good.

[BluBonnet]

Just watched the first 3 episodes, really liking it so far.

[Naiera]

This was a great show. It seems like it’s one-and-done though.

[mikesncc1701]

They had great chemistry in Neighbors. I'll have to put this in my never ending queue.

I hope not, I really liked it. lol

I feel like most (?) or all of APple shows got at least a 2nd season? Unless it is because the actors only wanted to do a 1 and done. I love Rose and Seth together.

[jtu128]

Overall I thought the show was just okay, but Rogan and Byrne have fantastic chemistry. Byrne really steals the show. The finale definitely felt like a one and done and I’ll admit got a little misty at the ending.

I hope we get more, too, but it seemed pretty finished. I'm sure they could come up with something, but it'd have to be fundamentally rather different from the first season.

I get why people think it could be done with the ending, but the 2nd season could just easily focus on all the wedding stuff. I think they could easily find a way to bring it back!

[Naiera]

I hope they do, and I hope they kick a crapload of scooters in the second season, too.

Hasn't Seth been cancelled now?

No. He survived compared to James Franco and Jonah Hill. It helps that he does have a lot more common sense.

[Naiera]

Pretty sure there's no reason to cancel Seth. He stopped hanging out with James a while ago.

[Doctor Jack]

He won’t be canceled. He conveniently changes his views and said his past stuff was wrong around the time people were coming for his little group of friends. So he will probably keep changing his opinions to make sure he doesn’t get canceled.
