Platonic season 2 spoilers: EP on significant idea change

As we prepare to check out Platonic season 2 over on Apple TV+, isn’t it crazy to imagine that this was at one point meant to be an anthology? The idea of Seth Rogen doing a long-term series at one point felt impossible and now, he has two in between this one and The Studio, which is up for a lot of Emmys.

So how were the producers behind the former show able to transform it into a story that could last for several years? Let’s just say it took some creativity, especially since the end of season 1 found Rogen’s Will heading to San Diego, away from Los Angeles and his longtime friend Sylvia (Rose Byrne).

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, here is some of what executive producer Francesca Delbanco had to say about the necessary changes:

“We had to blow up this neat little bow we’d originally tied at the end of the season … We had told a complete story. But it wound up being a great creative exercise — we had to figure out, one chapter of their life is over, so now what are they doing to do? And through that we realized that where we first thought of the show as one snapshot of one time in their lives, we could actually tell stories about these two forever.”

Personally, we would have zero problem if this ended up being the case, mostly due to the fact that some of the stories here feel relatively limitless. There is so much that could be done, so why wouldn’t the writers lean into that? We really grew invested in Will and Sylvia throughout the season, really to the point that we hated the idea of Will moving away.
