Proving itself not a Netflix show, Adults' audience has jumped by more than 40% in season two.

Audience is growing with FX's Adults

The Adults are alright. In fact, they’re better than alright. The FX sitcom, which, unsurprisingly, The A.V. Club has already named one of the best and funniest shows on television, is a bona fide hit. Much like the characters who are slowly but surely learning what it takes to make it in this workaday world, the audience is growing in season two. According to FX, and taken with a grain of salt, the show’s audience has grown more than 40% on Hulu and Disney+, as international viewership grew 100% in the 12 days since its second-season premiere. It’s perhaps a reason to be optimistic, especially following reports of Netflix’s second-season crisis, which saw drops in viewership for Four Seasons, Beef, and A Man On The Inside, among others. Strangely, FX wasn’t happy enough with the audience growth to announce a third season. 

Adults is a classic, Friends-style ensemble sitcom about a group of New York twentysomethings being there for each other when it hasn’t been their day, week, month, or year. We were huge fans of the show’s second season. Our TV Critic, Saloni Gajjar, wrote in her review, “It might only be eight episodes long, but Adults’ second season takes advantage of that limited time to polish its tone and hit us with amusing running gags, surprisingly moving friendship dilemmas (like Issa slowly realizing that her boyfriend and her BFF truly might be into each other!), and, best of all, genuine laugh-out-loud moments.”
