"Ben and Rebecca have elevated Adults in every way, earning critical praise and a legion of devoted fans who have embraced the friend group as their own," said Nick Grad, President, FX Entertainment. "Adults showed significant growth in its sophomore year and we've seen the show inspire everything from memes to Halloween costumes, so the decision was easy - more episodes and a new deal at FX for Ben and Rebecca!"
"We started working with FX over six years ago, back when Paul Baker was but a twinkle in all of our eyes," added Kronengold and Shaw. "In the years since, John and the rest of the team have taught us everything we know about how to lead, produce, and tell stories that make people feel like part of a community. They've become family, and we're so glad to make it official - and to start yelling at them like we do our parents."
