Platonic, the comedy starring Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne as former best friends reconnecting in midlife, will return for a third season. The show, which follows the hilarious chaos their revived friendship causes, has been a steady performer for the streamer.

The spy thriller Tehran also got good news. The series about a Mossad agent, played by Niv Sultan, was renewed for a fourth season. This announcement comes ahead of the January 9 premiere of its third season, which will feature new cast member Hugh Laurie.

Apple additionally renewed the thriller Down Cemetery Road, which stars Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson, for a second season.
