‘Neighbors’ Couple Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne Reunite for Apple TV+ Comedy ‘Platonic’
Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne are reteaming with their “Neighbors” director Nick Stoller for an Apple TV+ comedy, “Platonic.”
Stoller directed the pair in the 2014 comedy “Neighbors” and its sequel, which also stared Zac Efron.
“Platonic” is a 10-episode half-hour comedy which explores the inner workings of platonic friendship. A pair of former best friends who met in their youth (played by Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen) reconnect as adults and try to mend the rift that led to their falling out. As their friendship becomes more consuming, it destabilizes their lives and causes them to reevaluate their choices.
