Platonic Season 2: Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne Weren't Supposed To Return According to Creators

Video Description

Seth Rogen is the king of Apple TV+, with his star-studded hit series The Studio recently taking over the Emmys. A show that deserves just as much hype, however, is Platonic, the critically-acclaimed comedy series starring Rogen and Rose Byrne as ultimate platonic best friends. While the Season 2 finale clearly sets up the possibility of many more shenanigans for Will and Sylvia, that wasn't always meant to be the case. Believe it or not, the hit Apple TV+ series was supposed to be an anthology, with a completely different cast and story for future seasons. Platonic creators Nicholas Stoller (who appeared as himself in The Studio) and Francesca Delbanco were thrilled that Season 2 got the greenlight, but realized the show would work best if Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne (who had previously worked together in Neighbors and its sequel), would reprise their roles. During this conversation with Collider, Stoller and Delbanco break down what it was like cracking the code for Season 2, why they decided to give Luke Macfarlane's Charlie a midlife crisis, and how they managed to continue Will and Sylvia's story. #platonic #sethrogen #rosebyrne #nicholasstoller #francescadelbanco For interviews, movie reviews, and more visit https://collider.com FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL https://twitter.com/collider https://instagram.com/collider https://facebook.com/collider
