Platonic is back on Apple TV+ with its second season, and it wastes no time pulling us back into the chaos. Starring Rose Byrne as Sylvia and Seth Rogen as Will, the show dives into the hilarious and awkward mess of adult friendships, family pressures, and life’s endless curveballs. Created by Francesca Delbanco and Nicholas Stoller, the season 2 premiere episode sets the stage for a season full of comedy, disaster, and surprisingly deep moments.
Sylvia opens the episode with a rant about her minivan. She feels like it makes her invisible, boring, and, worst of all, uncool. She desperately wants to feel attractive and relevant again. For her, the van represents everything she feels she has lost as a woman: Independence, confidence, and identity. Despite her friend’s reassurance, the feeling lingers, and it becomes clear this will be a central struggle for her this season.
Will is engaged to Jenna, and the pressure is on. The engagement party is huge, family’s flying in, expectations are sky-high, and Sylvia is in charge of planning everything. Problem is, she doesn’t feel like a party planner. Her main gig lately? “Driving the kids around,” as she jokes. But she still wants to help Will, because their friendship means everything.
To break out of her rut, Sylvia considers buying a sports car. The dealership scene is pure Platonic; awkward, funny, and full of real emotion. Sylvia backs out at the last second. It is not just about the car; it is about how she sees herself. Her fear of change is stronger than her craving for it in Platonic.
Chaos at Home in Platonic
Meanwhile, at Sylvia’s house, everything is falling apart. The kids are fighting. Her husband, Charlie, is stressed. And everyone is scrambling to get ready for the San Diego trip. The show nails the relatable chaos of everyday family life. Sylvia is clearly overwhelmed, but still trying her best.
Back to Will, he is panicking about a toast he is supposed to give at the party. Jenna’s dad wants something grand, but Will’s dreading it. Sylvia tries to coach him through it. It is moments like these, the late-night pep talks, the honest advice, that show how strong their friendship really is.
Right when you think things couldn’t get crazier, a couple of Will’s friends accidentally drop acid into a bottle of champagne. Suddenly, it is all hands on deck, and Sylvia and Will are running around trying to stop guests from drinking the drugged bubbly. The scene is absolute mayhem and one of the episode’s funniest moments.
Of course, the drama doesn’t end there. Jenna’s dad insists on a specific champagne, "Veuve Clicquot," and they have run out. So, Sylvia and Will hit the road again in a frantic mission to find more. What follows is a wild, slapstick-style adventure through grocery stores, liquor shops, and dead ends. It is absurd and heartfelt, and again, shows how far these two will go for each other.
In the middle of their champagne quest, Will drops a bombshell: He has a crush on someone else. Sylvia is stunned. Will admits he is scared. Is he rushing into marriage? Is Jenna really “the one”? His feelings are messy, honest, and very real.
Who is Hannah in Platonic?
Turns out, Will’s crush is Hannah, a quirky sandwich shop owner with a mullet and a Deadpool tattoo in Platonic.
Sylvia is skeptical, but listens. She knows Will has a habit of self-sabotage, and she tries to get him to see what really matters in life. This scene, while funny, hits deep emotionally. They finally return to the party, just in time for the dreaded toast. Jenna’s dad delivers an unexpected rap tribute that’s so cringey but hilarious.
And just when things start to settle…Uncle Pete drinks the acid-laced champagne. What follows is one of the most ridiculous and entertaining party scenes ever.
Later, Sylvia admits something vulnerable to Will: She sold her old event planning van, but lied to her kids and said it was stolen. Why? Because she felt like a failure. Will reminds her that she is not a failure. In fact, she pulled off a wild, unforgettable party. Their friendship, messy, honest, and supportive, is the true heart of the show.
The episode of Platonic ends with Sylvia and Will reflecting on the chaos and craziness of the day. They are both overwhelmed, but also comforted knowing they have each other. It is a sweet moment, and a perfect setup for the rest of the season.
The writing is sharp. The jokes land. But it is the emotional depth that keeps you coming back. Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne have real chemistry, making every scene feel authentic.
Will’s crush on Hannah: Will he act on it? Sylvia’s career: Can she revive her confidence? Marriages under pressure: Can these relationships survive? Season 2 of Platonic is shaping up to be full of laughter, drama, and surprises.
Platonic Season 2, Episode 1, titled 'The Engagement Party,' is a chaotic, hilarious, and heartwarming ride. With top-notch writing, memorable characters, and scenes that mix comedy with real emotion, this episode kicks off the new season in the best way possible.
Whether you are already a fan or new to Platonic, you are in for a treat. Bring on the next episode!
