‘Adults’ returns for Season 2 tonight on FX, with cast member Lucy Freyer citing Julia Fox’s “curse” as a good-luck sign

Lucy Freyer, who stars as Billie Schaeffer on FX’s comedy, said a Season 1 appearance by Julia Fox seemed to bring the series good fortune after the show’s first run.

FX’s comedy series Adults returns tonight for Season 2, and one of the show’s stars is interpreting the program’s momentum through the lens of Julia Fox’s on-screen persona off-screen, too. In an interview reported Tuesday, Lucy Freyer, who plays Billie Schaeffer, said Fox appeared as a guest star in Season 1 and, in Freyer’s telling, “put a curse on” the Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw-created series.

Freyer linked her reaction to the show’s progression into a second season. She told Deadline that the situation “feels like a blessing,” framing Fox’s warning-like remark as something that ended up aligning with the series being renewed and continuing its run. The comments arrive as viewers prepare for a new batch of episodes released for Season 2.

Adults is a comedy set within the daily lives and relationships of its characters, and Season 2 expands on the premise established in Season 1. According to the report, all Season 2 episodes will be available on Thursdays at 9 p.m., continuing FX’s approach to episodic delivery during the series’ run.

The series was created by Kronengold and Shaw, and the cast includes Freyer as one of its leading performers. While details of Fox’s specific remarks and the nature of the “curse” are not elaborated in the reported summary, Freyer’s statements place the guest spot within the show’s behind-the-scenes narrative as something memorable enough to influence how the cast talks about the season’s start.

The “curse” reference is part of a broader trend in entertainment coverage where performers describe production experiences in personal, character-adjacent terms. In this case, Freyer’s remarks connect a guest star’s witchy, prank-like framing to the feeling that the series is moving in the right direction.

Adults Season 2 arrives at a time when comedy series renewals and release schedules are closely tracked by streaming and cable audiences, who increasingly follow both release timing and star-driven publicity. With the full season’s episodes slated for release each Thursday at 9 p.m., FX is setting a consistent viewing rhythm for the duration of the second season.

For viewers, the practical takeaway from Freyer’s comments is not a change to the release plan but a clearer sense that cast members are treating the series’ continuation as something that can be discussed through the show’s pop-cultural mythology. The series’ creators, Kronengold and Shaw, will continue guiding the story as Season 2 begins, with the first tranche of episodes scheduled to roll out tonight at 9 p.m.

Adults is produced for FX, and tonight’s return marks the start of its second season, following Season 1 and the reported guest appearance by Julia Fox. Fans tuning in tonight will be able to watch the next chapter of Billie Schaeffer’s story as the season’s episodes become available on FX according to the Thursday 9 p.m. schedule.

Why It Matters

  • Season 2’s start at a specific weekly time, 9 p.m. on Thursdays, shapes how audiences plan viewing and how the show’s publicity cycle will run for the rest of the season.
  • Cast-created narratives about guest stars can affect audience engagement, especially when performers link behind-the-scenes anecdotes to the timing of renewals and new episodes.
  • Renewal-to-release continuity matters for FX and for viewers who follow comedy series for both performers and release schedules.
  • The reported comments highlight how guest appearances can remain part of a series’ public-facing identity into later seasons.
