The best new comedy series of the summer, with a perfect 100% Certified Fresh Rotten Tomatoes score, is streaming right now only on Apple TV+. After debuting with an impressive 93% Rotten Tomatoes score for its first season in 2023, the acclaimed hit series is back for season 2.
Critics unanimously praised season 2 of the new Apple TV+ comedy show, which is centered around two adult best friends in Los Angeles. It earned a rare perfect RT score, joining the likes of other celebrated and classic comedy shows like Broad City (seasons 2–5), The Bear season 1, and Barry season 2.
Platonic Season 2 Is Summer 2025’s Best New Comedy Series
Platonic season 2 is the best returning comedy series currently streaming across all platforms right now. Not only does the show have a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score to back it up, but the series stars the hilarious and proven duo of Rose Byrne, known for her standout roles in movies like Spy and Bridesmaids, and comedic legend Seth Rogen.
Rogen and Byrde previously played a husband and wife in the 2014 Zac Efron comedy movie Neighbors. In Platonic, however, Rogen’s Will and Byrne’s Sylvia couldn’t be farther apart in a romantic sense, even though they are childhood friends with a bit of a codependency problem.
If you are just tuning into Platonic, don’t worry – the 10-episode first season is incredibly easy and enjoyable to binge-watch, with each episode only lasting an average of 30 minutes. Start streaming Platonic season 1 tonight, and you’ll be caught up on season 2 in no time, which just dropped its fourth episode on August 20, 2025.
Seth Rogen Has Become The New Face Of Comedy On Apple TV+
2025 has been an extraordinary year in comedy for both Apple TV+ and Seth Rogen, who has two outstanding shows currently airing on the platform. The Studio, which broke Ted Lasso‘s Emmy record this year for most nominations for a comedy series in its first season (23), is another hilarious and star-studded Rogen-led comedy series.
All the acclaim for Rogen’s two Apple TV+ comedy shows should set him up nicely to develop each of his shows further and potentially introduce a third horse in the race. As for right now, Platonic still has the majority of its second season to be released every Wednesday, concluding with the season 2 finale on October 1, 2025.
Unlike some of the most celebrated comedy series in recent years, such as The Bear and HBO’s Hacks, Platonic is a comedy in its truest form. Even the conflicts between Will, Sylvia, and the outstanding supporting cast of Platonic are solely designed to make viewers laugh, making it the perfect new comedy series to dive into right now.
