Being an adult can be challenging, but FX’s new series, “Adults,” humorously explores the antics that come with a group of friends navigating adulthood. The series even features an episode where one of the friends ends up befriending a criminal who’s been causing trouble in their neighborhood.

The comedy series revolves around a group of twenty-somethings transitioning into adulthood while living in New York. The cast includes Malik Elassa as “Samir,” Owen Thiele as “Anton,” Jack Innanen as “Paul Baker,” Amita Rao as “Issa,” and Lucy Freyer as “Billie.” These five friends share living space in Samir’s childhood home, where they dine together and navigate the joys and complications of grown-up life, including sharing a bathroom.

In an interview with On The Red Carpet, the cast discussed the show’s dynamic, with Elassa describing their living situation as an “incubator.” He explained, “The show feels like an incubator where we all get to be growing up in the world, essentially forcing us to mature while we indulge in codependency and childish behavior, attempting to delay adulthood as long as we can.”

Elassa 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 Elassa 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+.

The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of FX, Hulu, Disney+ and this ABC station.
