Apple TV+ officially announced they are renewing Platonic, the comedy series, for season two in 2023, and viewers of the program now have an officially announced release date. Following all the fuss over the original renewal in December 2023, the platform has announced that the new season will air on August 6, 2025.
Season 2 will also navigate the nuances and humorous aspects of a platonic relationship between Sylvia and Will, two middle-aged men seeking to navigate life's surprise turns without the burden of romance.
With the release date finally set, there is eagerness among fans for revisiting the characters, new guest appearances, and a restored weekly broadcast schedule. But when exactly does it all start? The following is the full rundown of the release calendar, number of episodes, and all you're curious about—fluff-free.
When does Platonic Season 2 premiere?
The release date for Platonic Season 2 is Wednesday, August 6, 2025. The launch will be double the fun as two episodes air simultaneously on the same date. The double premiere approach is the model of other Apple TV+ shows, which is geared towards establishing the tone of the season immediately.
This would give fans a head start in being introduced to the plot and reintroduced to the main characters. Starting from August 6, the remaining part of the season will be released on a weekly basis.
Full weekly episode release schedule
Apple TV+ has announced that Platonic Season 2 will have 10 episodes, with subsequent episodes released each Wednesday following the premiere. Each episode is allegedly being dropped at 6:00 pm Pacific Time / 9:00 pm Eastern Time, which matches Apple TV+'s standard release times for original series.
Here's the full release schedule:
- August 6, 2025 - Episodes 1 & 2
- August 13, 2025 - Episode 3
- August 20, 2025 - Episode 4
- August 27, 2025 - Episode 5

- September 17, 2025 - Episode 8
- September 24, 2025 - Episode 9
- October 1, 2025 - Episode 10 (Finale)
All episodes will premiere to stream on demand, not long after they premiere at the listed time.
How many episodes are there in Season 2?
The Platonic second season will have 10 episodes, the same number as the first season. Every episode will probably have a running time of anywhere from 28 to 35 minutes, the same as the standard format for the show. While the complete episode titles have not been released, the show will have the same consistent tone that focuses on Will and Sylvia's shifting dynamic.
The writers of the series, Nicholas Stoller and Francesca Delbanco, have hinted that the new season will raise the emotional stakes and delve into more cringey, funny, and refreshingly honest places.
All within the context of an entirely platonic relationship.
