'Platonic' stars Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne talk about the state of TV comedy and whether men and women can just be friends
doesn’t bother mining the anguish of the human condition. But by creating characters that also have small footholds in their personal lives, Byrne and Rogen manage to make an enjoyable watch — a testament more to their comedic chemistry and talent than the show’s message. Directed by Stroller, and held up by an ensemble cast including’ Luke Macfarlane, Tre Hale, Carla Gallo and more, the series is extremely reminiscent of work the three have done before.
“I started doing comedy with Stoller because he gave me a chance,” Byrne says. “And I felt excited to be able to have this format to sort of tell this friendship unfolding in these arcs of Sylvia and Will.” “This idea of making a TV series that is kind of capturing the outwardly big, fun, comedic energy of some of the films we’ve made together and grounding it to the real world was something that I’ve never really seen on television,” Rogen adds. “It’s the relatability and the kind of character dynamics that people seem to like but with a real emphasis on big comedy set pieces. So it was a really exciting idea for me.
