Apple TV+ Renews Platonic; Lisa Kudrow Joins Ray Romano in Netflix Comedy

Platonic - Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen

Apple TV+ announced that Platonic, its hit half-hour comedy starring and executive produced by Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen, has been renewed for a second season. Co-created, directed and co-written by Nick Stoller and Francesca Delbanco, the critically acclaimed first season of Platonic is now streaming globally on Apple TV+. Platonic follows a platonic pair of former best friends approaching midlife (Rogen and Byrne) who reconnect after a long rift. The duo's friendship becomes all consuming - and destabilizes their lives in a hilarious way. In addition to Rogen and Byrne, Platonic season one starred Luke Macfarlane, Tre Hale, Andrew Lopez and Carla Gallo. Platonic is produced by Sony Pictures Television, where Stoller's Global Solutions has an overall deal. Byrne, Rogen, Stoller, Delbanco and Conor Welch executive produce. The series marks the latest collaboration for Apple TV+ and Byrne, who also stars in Apple's dark comedy Platonic. In addition to Platonic, Rogen is set to star in an upcoming, untitled comedy series for Apple TV+ that he will write, direct and executive produce alongside Evan Goldberg.


Lisa Kudrow

Netflix announced that Emmy Award-winning actress Lisa Kudrow will star in No Good Deed, a new dark comedy series from creator and executive producer Liz Feldman (Dead to Me). She joins previously announced co-star Ray Romano. Lisa Kudrow (Friends, Time Bandits, Booksmart) will play "Lydia Morgan" - A highly-talented (and highly-strung) former concert pianist, Lydia is a devoted wife to Paul (Ray Romano) and loving-though-flawed mother to their two children. She is distraught by the idea of selling their Los Feliz home, a place filled with happy memories and dark secrets. No Good Deed is a half hour, dark comedy that follows three very different families vying to buy the very same 1920s Spanish style villa that they think will solve all their problems. But as the sellers have already discovered, sometimes the home of your dreams can be a total nightmare. 8 episodes have been ordered.
