Plot summary
Adults follows the lives of Samir, Billie, Issa, Anton, and Paul Baker who live as roommates at Samir's childhood home in Queens, New York. The Gen Z experience takes centerstage in this series, as the friends step into adulthood.
They grapple with job insecurity, steep housing prices, crippling student debt while chasing romantic relationships, career ambitions, and financial independence.
Samir's soft-spoken nature stands in stark contrast to Issa's loud, bombastic personality. Her pansexual boyfriend Paul Baker, the career-oriented Billie, and super-friendly Anton round out the group.
