The Platonic release date is closer than we’d thought. With the new Apple TV comedy series coming out soon, the stakes are higher than before. So far, the OTT platform has been releasing content that has been raising the bar in the entertainment biz generally, but with much-loved series like Ted Lasso concluding their run soon, it’s time to up the game and move on to the new chapter.
Created by Nick Stoller and Francesca Delbanco, the forthcoming American digital series has also been directed by Stellar. Additionally, along with the creators of the show, Rose Byrne, Seth Rogen and Conor Welch have made their contributions as the executive producers of the show. So, what does one get when such a dynamic combination of people come together? Here’s what we know.
Platonic Cast
The notable executive producers will also be seen portraying the roles of the Platonic best friends in question. Rose Byrne will be portraying Sylvia’s character, while Seth Rogen will be seen as Will. The remaining main cast also includes Luke Macfarlane, Tre Hale, Carla Gallo and Andrew Lopez. Some recurring cast members are Alisha Wainwright, Guy Branum, Janet Varney and others.
Platonic Plot/Storyline
When it comes to being friends, some duos are deemed different than the rest, and the same goes for Sylvia and Will, who are often viewed as “destructive”. But, as far as they’re concerned, they couldn’t anything lesser than “constructive”.
Not having spoken to each other in years, the two finally reconnect again upon Will’s divorce news reaching Sylvia. Despite being in two different places, they’re the only people in each other’s lives with whom they can be their real selves, but that doesn’t always sit well with their family or others surrounding them.

With midlife crisis hitting them on top of that, things couldn’t be any harder, yet finding each other again may just be the remedy they needed in a long time. However, as their friendship rises high on the priority list, the same can’t be said for their hilariously spiralling down lives.
The comedy series started filming last year in Los Angeles. Byrne and Rogen were last seen together as the Radner couple in the R-rated 2014 comedy film Neighbours and its 2016 sequel Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising.
