Platonic explores the inner workings of platonic friendship. A pair of former best friends who met in their youth (played by Byrne and 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.
Currently greenlit for 10 episodes, the series is an anthology, with each season focusing on a different couple.
Platonic is co-written by Francesca Delbanco, who previously collaborated with husband Stoller on Netflix’s comedy series Friends from College. The series falls under Stoller’s overall deal he and his Stoller Global Solutions have at Sony Pictures TV.
