The Platonic Season 3 cast also includes Macfarlane and Carla Gallo. Sony Pictures Television produces the series, with Stoller’s Stoller Global Solutions operating under an overall deal with the studio. Stoller, Delbanco, Byrne and Conor Welch executive produce alongside Rogen, Evan Goldberg and James Weaver for Point Grey Pictures.

Koenig previously starred as history teacher Gwen Sanders in FX’s English Teacher, where she was also a writer. Her other credits include Apple TV+’s Lessons in Chemistry, Paramount+’s The Offer and HBO Max’s The Flight Attendant.
