FX Debuts Gen-Z Comedy Adults Featuring Diverse Emerging Cast

FX's new comedy series 'Adults' follows a diverse group of five Gen Z friends navigating the challenges of early adulthood while living together in Queens, New York. Created by Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw, the show blends relatable coming-of-age struggles—like job hunting, relationship mishaps, and awkward encounters—with irreverent, boundary-pushing humor. The ensemble cast features up-and-coming comedians and social media influencers, such as Malik Elassal, Lucy Freyer, Amita Rao, Owen Thiele, and Jack Innanen, whose performances bring authenticity and fresh energy to the series. While the creators initially aimed to capture uniquely Gen Z experiences, they found that the core dilemmas of growing up are universally relatable across generations. Guest appearances by stars like Julia Fox and Charlie Cox add to the show's appeal. 'Adults' has drawn comparisons to comedies like 'Girls,' 'Broad City,' and 'New Girl,' marking it as a standout entry in the genre for a new generation.
