Lucy Freyer Says Julia Fox's 'Curse' Guarantees Her Role in Every 'Adults' Season
Lucy Freyer, who plays Billie Schaeffer on FX's 'Adults', revealed that guest star Julia Fox jokingly threatened to curse the show if she wasn't invited back. Freyer took the warning seriously, believing Fox must appear in every season to avoid cancellation. Season 2 of the comedy premieres Thursday on Hulu.
Freyer recounted Fox's playful threat during an interview with Refinery29 Australia, describing it as a warning that skipping Fox in any future season would doom the series. The exchange has since become a running joke among the cast, with Freyer insisting the show must now keep Fox involved indefinitely to stay safe.
The FX comedy, created by Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw, launches its entire second season Thursday at 9pm ET on Hulu. Season 2's guest lineup includes Gaten Matarazzo, Jake Shane, and Zosia Mamet, though Fox's return status was not confirmed in the promotional materials.
This anecdote may boost viewer curiosity around "Adults" by giving audiences a memorable behind-the-scenes hook tied to a recognizable celebrity. It could also reinforce the show's comedic brand and encourage casual streaming viewers to sample Season 2, potentially expanding its cultural footprint among younger audiences who follow Fox's persona.
