FX's Adults Pilot Available on Social Platforms; BET and BET+ Premiere New Tyler Perry Series in June

FX's Adults, a new comedy series created by Ben Kronengold & Rebecca Shaw, made its first episode available on several top video and social media platforms on Thursday, the day after the series premiered on FX and the same day that the full eight-episode season became available on Hulu and TVE/VOD. The first episode, "Pilot," is available in its entirety on Hulu's YouTube channel and FX's Facebook channel. The full episode can be watched in snackable segments on FX's TikTok and FX's Instagram accounts.

FX's Adults premiered on Wednesday, May 28 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on FX with its first two episodes. The entire eight-episode first season is now available on Hulu and FX On Demand via television providers. FX will continue to air two episodes each Wednesday for the following three weeks. FX's Adults is an ensemble comedy series about a group of twenty-somethings in New York trying to be good people, despite being neither "good" nor "people" yet. "Samir" (Malik Elassal), "Billie" (Lucy Freyer), "Paul Baker" (Jack Innanen), "Issa" (Amita Rao) and "Anton" (Owen Thiele) are five friends crashing together in Samir's childhood home, where they share their meals, anxieties and, occasionally, toothbrushes.

Created by Ben Kronengold & Rebecca Shaw (The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon), the show puts a slightly heightened twist on the wins, losses and humiliations of starting out in the adult world. Whether they're trying to get ahead at work, navigating the healthcare system, hosting a dinner party or dating in the age of Find My Friends, the group is finding that nothing about the real world is simple, and all their best intentions tend to make things worse.

Tyler Perry's Divorced Sistas will premiere on Monday, June 9, on BET, after the 2025 BET Awards, and will be available to stream on BET+ starting Tuesday, June 10. New episodes from the eight-episode season will drop weekly on BET+, with Episode 2 premiering Thursday, June 12, and the first half of Season 1 concluding on Thursday, July 24.

Five friends, Rasheda, Geneva, Naomi, Tiffany, and Bridgette, all battle life and relationship woes at some stage of divorce, marriage, and dating. But it's the battle within their circle that tests their true character and love for one another. The ensemble cast features LeToya Luckett (Greenleaf), Khadeen Indréa (Ellis Ever After), Porscha Coleman (Dad Stop Embarrassing Me!), Briana Price (Step Up: High Water), Jennifer Sears (Tyler Perry's Madea's Family Funeral), RonReaco Lee (Survivor's Remorse), DeVon Franklin (Kingdom Business), Donovan Christie Jr. (Tyler Perry's The Oval), and Robert Christopher Riley (Dynasty).
