Nick Kroll is embracing his youth—and inviting viewers to do the same. On Instagram, the comedian posted, “I looove being in my twenties. So proud of all the twenty-somethings (including myself) who worked on this show. It’s so good and I’m so young. @adultsfx premieres on FX 5/28!” Those words come with a series of vibrant photos showing Kroll and his cast goofing around during a recent shoot.
Show Premise And Cast
Adults is a workplace comedy that follows a group of recent college graduates as they navigate office politics, awkward dating moments and the daily reality of paying bills on an entry-level salary. In an earlier Instagram call-out, Kroll asked fans to share “your most unhinged photo from your twenties” and tag him along with @adultsfx. His post noted that he executive produced the series “with some incredible people and an amazing cast including @lucyfreyer, @jackinnanen, @amitawow, @malikelassal, and @owenthiele.”
“Adults” zeroes in on that precarious phase when you’re technically old enough to be called an adult—but still feel like a perpetual work-in-progress. As Kroll’s caption makes clear, youthful energy is at the heart of every episode.
Fan Engagement Contest
Ahead of the May 28 debut, Kroll launched a fan contest. Posting on May 21, he wrote, “In honor of Adults premiering next week, please post your most unhinged photo from your twenties and tag me and @adultsfx. I’m gonna choose my favorite to give a pair of flights, lodging, and tickets to the premiere in LA.” That promotion generated thousands of submissions in under 48 hours, ranging from retro road-trip snapshots to cringe-worthy hairstyle experiments.
Another Instagram share offers a sneak-peek invitation: “Crash with us. FX’s Adults premieres 5.28 on FX. All episodes streaming on Hulu.” Fans have already marked their calendars, eager to binge the full season as soon as it drops.
Nick Kroll’s Creative Journey
Best known for co-creating and voicing multiple characters on Netflix’s hit animated series Big Mouth, Kroll has built a reputation for turning awkward moments into comedy gold. His earlier sketch series, Kroll Show, earned Emmy nominations, while live projects like The Oh, Hello on Broadway highlighted his theatrical flair. Off-screen, he’s led fundraising events such as Comedy vs. Cancer, teaming with John Mulaney and Amy Schumer to raise over $2.4 million for blood cancer research at Memorial Sloan Kettering.
According to his IMDb profile, Kroll also appears in Search Party, and is developing Mating Season, an adult animated rom-com set in an animal world, slated for 2026. In each venture, he brings the same self-deprecating humor that shines through in Adults’ marketing images.
Premiere Details And Where To Watch
Adults drops Monday, May 28, on FX at 10 p.m. ET/PT. All episodes will be available to stream on Hulu the next day. The network has positioned the show as part of its growing lineup of intelligent comedies targeting millennials and Gen Z viewers.
Kroll’s Instagram previews hint at both polished production values—quirky office sets, colorful character wardrobes—and a playful tone. One shot shows him in a brightly lit break room, holding a half-eaten snack and sporting a delighted grin alongside a co-star in a fruity retro tracksuit.
With its blend of nostalgia, workplace satire and fan-driven social media stunts, Adults aims to capture the endless uncertainties of young adulthood. Kroll’s message is clear: being in your twenties can feel ridiculous, but it’s also a unique ride worth celebrating.
As the countdown to May 28 continues, viewers can revisit Kroll’s feed for more behind-the-scenes peeks, follow the hashtag #AdultsFX for fan entries, and prepare for a comedy that’s unapologetically youthful at heart.
