Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne are headed to Apple TV .

The streamer has placed a series order for Platonic, a new series starring Emmy and Golden Globe nominees Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen, and co-written by Nick Stoller and Francesca Delbanco (Friends from College).

The series will be produced for Apple by Sony Pictures Television and reunites Byrne and Rogen with director Nick Stoller following their collaboration on the Neighbors movie series.

Platonic is a 10-episode, half-hour comedy which explores the inner workings of platonic friendship.
