FX’s ensemble comedy series “Adults” sees a 40% increase in Season 2 viewership compared with Season 1, according to Disney internal streaming data cited by FX. The comparison covers audience totals across Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ internationally, measured over the first 12 days after the Season 2 release.
Both outlets report that the figure is based on early performance rather than full-season numbers. Variety notes that Disney does not provide specific viewership totals, but says the company’s reported uplift applies to combined global viewing across Hulu and Disney+. Deadline similarly describes the gain as occurring during the opening 12-day window and frames it as a notable performance improvement amid a broader industry context where many streaming series have faced sophomore-season declines.
While the outlets align on the direction and approximate magnitude of the increase, they differ in emphasis: Variety highlights the global distribution across platforms, while Deadline focuses on the specific platform breakdown and the rarity of season-over-season gains among recent streaming shows.
