About

"Messy roommates figuring out adulthood, loudly"

Adults follows a tight-knit group of twentysomething friends sharing a house in Queens, New York, as they stumble through jobs, dating apps, and the general chaos of figuring out life after college. It's a fast, chatty hangout comedy built on overlapping jokes and cringe-inducing social situations rather than big plot arcs. The tone leans loose and improvisational, more about vibe and rapport between the cast than tight storytelling. It works best if you enjoy ensemble banter and awkward-millennial humor over structured sitcom setups. Casual, low-stakes, and easy to binge in short bursts.

Watch it for

the rapid-fire ensemble chemistry that captures the specific chaos of early-twenties friendships.

Maybe skip if

you prefer tightly plotted sitcoms over loose, hangout-style comedy.

Season 12025
7.88K83h 1m
In season 1, the housemates tackle capital-R Responsibility to varying degrees of success. These friends are works-in-progress, brimming with bad ideas and whatever their latest "theory of adulthood" might be. But there's one thing they consistently get right: showing up for each other.
Season 22026
8.76K93h 39m
In season 2, the housemates tackle a new set of real-world questions. What if the 20-year-old who inherited your fake ID is cooler than you ever were, and younger than you'll ever be again? How do you explain to your friends that you actually love your boring office job? Why does being around your family make you regress into your worst self? And how do you ask for things to change, when you also need everything to stay the same? Together, the friends weave intricate webs of multi-player strategy just to avoid hurting someone else's feelings. They invent elaborate workarounds for problems they're too afraid to face head-on. It's not so much that they keep learning the same lessons – it's that they keep finding new ways to make mistakes. But the one thing they consistently get right: showing up for each other.
