FX’s new series, “Adults,” explores the humorous adventures of a group of friends navigating through the challenges of adulthood. From befriending a criminal in the neighborhood to shared meals and bathroom mishaps, the show captures the essence of growing up in New York.
The ensemble comedy features Malik Elassal as “Samir,” Owen Thiele as “Anton,” Jack Innanen as “Paul Baker,” Amita Rao as “Issa,” and Lucy Freyer as “Billie.” The group resides together in Samir’s childhood home, experiencing the trials and tribulations of becoming adults.
In an interview with The Red Carpet, Elassal likened the group’s living arrangement to an “incubator,” where they are forced to confront the realities of life. He described the house as a safe space where they can cling to their youth and avoid the responsibilities of growing up.
Elassal also shared the life advice he’d offer to his character Samir, “I would say probably just mind your business. I think you don’t have to get involved in everything.” While Rao said she would tell her character Issa, “Think for a minute before you do. Just a minute. I like her, I think she’s a party.”
And speaking of parties, fans get a sneak peek at guest star Julia Fox playing herself at a dinner party in the “Adults” trailer. As soon as Fox enters their home, she’s quick to joke about how “humble” their residence is. Feyer gushed over scoring such star power on their very first season, “I think it’s a real testament to Ben (Kronengold) and Rebecca (Shaw) who created the show for writing such incredible scripts that these incredible actors were willing to be like, ‘Okay, yeah. Sign me up.'” “Daredevil: Born Again” star Charlie Cox also appears on the show, making Elassal thrilled, “Improvising with Daredevil was such a wild feeling, especially being a Marvel fan, to start riffing with Charlie Cox.”
Thiele explained to On The Red Carpet about how his real-life best friend Emma Chamberlain has been supportive of his role as Anton, “I could cry talking about her. She is the most supportive person I have ever met in my entire life. She’s wonderful. She came to the premiere and watched the first episode and she was blown away by everyone’s performance. She was blown away by the writing. She’s the best friend.” He also hopes she gets to make an appearance on season two if “Adults” gets renewed. Thiele thinks the social media star could show off her acting chops to play a new character.
Innanen also originally started making content online and dished on his journey from internet personality to starring in traditional media, “It’s a totally different beast. It was such a fun challenge and was made so easy because everyone was so talented. Working with an incredible cast, the creators, the script was incredible and the character was so well written. But that was the greatest privilege of my life getting to be a part of it.”
“Adults” premieres Wednesday, May 28 on FX, and all episodes will be streaming the next day on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.
