TVLine Items: Platonic Adds SNL Vets, Bold and the Beautiful Return and More
Three Saturday Night Live alums are getting Platonic with Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne.
Beck Bennett, Aidy Bryant and Kyle Mooney — who were part of the SNL ensemble during the same era — will recur during Season 2 of the Apple TV+ comedy, our sister site Deadline reports. No details are available about the trio’s characters.
The series stars Neighbors duo Rogen and Byrne as Will and Sylvia, “a platonic pair of former best friends approaching midlife who reconnect after a long rift,” per the official logline. The Season 1 finale featured a one-year time jump, at which point Will’s fiancée Jenna enlisted Sylvia to be their wedding planner.

Which of today’s TVLine Items pique your interest?
I’d rather Bold bring Matthew Atkinson back as Thomas. I’m so over this absolute trainwreck of a show.
Looking forward to the Pradeeps primarily because of the actor who plays the mother. She is also a very funny comedian (lots on YouTube).
Also, Naveen who looks so different in this role.
