Apple TV+’s ‘Platonic’ follows the friendship of Will and Sylvia. They have known each other since college, and after a period of drifting away, they come back into each other’s orbit. The second season focuses on their journey, as each evolves in their own way, while the duo also realizes that they might be too involved in each other’s business. Despite them deciding to take a break and put some boundaries between themselves, the season ends with them making a very important decision that could change both of their lives. The yet-unannounced third season is expected to delve into that. Considering the pattern of release of the previous two seasons, Platonic Season 3 is expected to release sometime in 2027.
Platonic Season 3 Will Explore Will and Sylvia’s Business Relationship
The second season of ‘Platonic’ focuses on Will and Sylvia exploring new avenues in terms of their careers. His breakup with Jenna leads him to come up with the idea of owning a bar, which he wants to call Shitty Little Bar. She, on the other hand, takes to event management like a fish to water, and despite the challenges, manages to make quite a name for herself. By the final episode, Sylvia is exhausted with her work, which keeps her constantly on the move. She misses spending time with her family. Meanwhile, Will encounters a problem of his own. Days before the inauguration of his bar, he is slapped with a non-compete by Jenna.
Charlie and his friend and former colleague, Stewart, advise him to make someone else the face of the company, someone he trusts and wouldn’t mind going into business with. Neither he nor Sylvia has to think twice about it, and they immediately start to consider the possibility. The third season will focus on them exploring the business venture, making them even more involved in each other’s lives than before. As expected, it will cause loads of trouble for them, because the two of them have very different ways of working.
It is one thing to have a difference in lifestyle, because then they can ignore each other, but with a business at stake, things are bound to get more complicated. Then there is the part about Will sleeping with Katie, which she uses as a way to get him out of her house. The second season could expand this storyline, considering that strong chemistry has already been established between them. There will also be the issue of the next chapter in Charlie’s life. Now that he has written and self-published a novel, what does it mean for his future?
Platonic Season 3 Will Bring Back All the Major Characters
‘Platonic’ wouldn’t be the show it is without Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen’s chemistry as best friends, Sylvia and Will. The next season will mark their return for the third time. Luke Macfarlane and Carla Gallo are also regulars expected to return in the next season as Charlie and Katie, with Sophie Leonard, Max Matenko, and Sophia Kopera as Charlie and Sylvia’s children, Frances, Simon, and Maeve, respectively. Recurring characters like Guy Branum’s Stewart, Andrew Lopez’s Reggie, and Tre Hale’s Andy are also expected to continue being a part of the show.
The non-compete in the finale seems to have brought Jenna back into the mix, which means we will most likely see Rachel Rosenbloom as well. With Sylvia’s work becoming a bigger part of her life, we might see her boss/colleague, Cabo Carrie (Aidy Bryant), return as well. Additionally, familiar faces like Beck Bennett’s Wild Card might return as recurring, along with new cast members joining the show to shake things up.
Platonic Season 3 Will Rewrite Will and Sylvia’s Dynamics
Despite never having indulged in a romantic relationship, Will and Sylvia have quite a lot of drama between them. The shifting dynamics of their friendship have been one of the major plot points in the series, and the third season will delve deeper into it as they enter uncharted waters by entering into business together. Despite having briefly collaborated or helped each other with their jobs, the duo hasn’t been tied to working together. So, it will be interesting to see how things pan out once they get into the nitty-gritty of it all.
In the same vein, the season will also focus on their relationships with other characters. Given that Will and Katie have hooked up, there is a chance that they may do it again. If so, how will Sylvia take it, and how will her best friends being in a romantic relationship impact her individual friendships with them? Another thing that’ll take her focus is her marriage to Charlie. So far, the couple has braved all sorts of storms, but now that Charlie has written his book, it remains to be seen what his next step will be and if Sylvia will approve of it. There is already a lot of drama simmering within the plot and the characters, all of which will unravel in the next season.
