Charlie Cox will always be known for his role as Daredevil, first in the Netflix Marvel series before later reprising the role in Daredevil: Born Again, but he’s also stumbled into other roles in film and TV that you may recognize. Last year, Cox provided the voice work for Gustave in the critically acclaimed game, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and he’s confirmed to various outlets over the last year that he’s working on another video game that will likely be announced soon. Back in 2022, when fans were still campaigning for Kevin Feige and other bosses for Marvel to Save Daredevil, Cox took his talents to Netflix to star in one of the platform’s most underrated thrillers, Treason. The mini-series consisted of only five episodes, but fans still demand to this day that it be brought back for another season.
Last year, Cox featured in a few episodes of the hit FX comedy series, Adults, as Mr. Teacher. His role was sparse, true, but he was a fan-favorite addition to the show, which is led by stars such as Malik Elsasal and Lucy Freyer. After a successful first season, FX renewed Adults for a second season, which dropped as a binge on Hulu at the end of August. Charlie Cox did not return in Season 2. The future of Adults had been unclear as FX weighed what to do about the series, but the studio announced this afternoon that the show has been officially renewed for Season 3. Better yet, Adults Season 3 has received an increased episode order to 16, which is more than the eight episodes in the first and second season. This comes after the second season improved in the viewership column by upwards of 60%.
What Is ‘Adults’ About?
The first season of Adults earned a solid 77% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, but it still did well enough to warrant a renewal. Season 2 was a massive hit, though, earning a rare, perfect 100% score from critics on the aggregate site. The hit sitcom has often been compared to Friends, and while there are some notable differences between the shows, fans of one are almost guaranteed to enjoy the other. The official synopsis for the show, which is expected to return before the end of next year, reads as follows:
“Adults is an ensemble comedy series about a group of twenty-somethings in New York trying to be good people, despite being neither “good” nor “people” yet. Samir, Billie, Paul Baker, Issa and Anton are five friends crashing together in Samir’s childhood home, where they share their meals, anxieties and, occasionally, toothbrushes. The show puts a slightly heightened twist on the wins, losses and humiliations of starting out in the adult world. Whether they’re trying to get ahead at work, navigating the healthcare system, hosting a dinner party or dating in the age of Find My Friends, the group is finding that nothing about the real world is simple, and all their best intentions tend to make things worse. These friends are works-in-progress, brimming with bad ideas and whatever their latest “theory of adulthood” might be. But there’s one thing they consistently get right: showing up for each other.”
