"Adults": Is This the Successor to "Friends"?

Observador8 September 2026 at 09:07

The series "Adults", available on Disney+, is being pointed to as a potential successor to "Friends", the iconic 90s sitcom. The streaming platform's original production aims to fill the void left by the classic comedy that defined the genre for decades.

"Friends" continues to be a phenomenon of popularity, having won over a new generation of fans among Gen Z. The series remains relevant through reruns and streaming platforms, demonstrating the enduring power of its humor and the dynamics between its characters.

"Adults" emerges with the ambition to authentically portray the real life of today's young adults, offering a comedy that reflects contemporary experiences and challenges. The question that arises is whether it will be able to achieve the same level of connection with the audience that "Friends" achieved during its decade of broadcasting.
