What did you say? That FX Networks is the home to two of the funniest comedies going today, and they're both returning this month? Yup, you're absolutely right! On August 16th, FXX's It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia returns for a jaw-dropping 18th season. Eleven days later, on Thursday, August 27th, the show that hit us in the same way that "Always Sunny" did during its first season returns for a second season. That's right, Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw's Adults will drop all eight episodes at 6 pm PT/9 pm ET on Hulu, with two episodes airing each week on FXX.

Up to this point, we've been treated to preview images, teasers, interviews with the cast and creative team, and even a prequel (more on that in a minute). But now, we have our best look yet at what the gang has in store with the release of the Season 2 official trailer. Here's a look:

The hit series spotlights a group of twenty-somethings in New York leaning on each other to navigate love, work, friendship, and family. Samir (Malik Elassal), Billie (Lucy Freyer), Paul Baker (Jack Innanen), Issa (Amita Rao), and Anton (Owen Thiele) are five friends crashing together in Samir's childhood home as they tackle the wins, losses, and humiliations of being in your twenties. With Susie Essman, Raven-Symoné, Gaten Matarazzo, Jake Shane, Isaac Powell, Ben Marshall, Zosia Mamet, and more set as guest stars, here's a look at the official images that were released (along with a season overview):

Over eight episodes, the housemates tackle a new set of real-world questions. What if the 20-year-old who inherited your fake ID is cooler than you ever were, and younger than you'll ever be again? How do you explain to your friends that you actually love your boring office job? Why does being around your family make you regress into your worst self? And how do you ask for things to change, when you also need everything to stay the same? Together, the friends weave intricate webs of multiplayer strategy just to avoid hurting someone else's feelings. They invent elaborate workarounds for problems they're too afraid to face head-on. It's not so much that they keep learning the same lessons – it's that they keep finding new ways to make mistakes. But the one thing they consistently get right: showing up for each other.

Written by Kronengold and Shaw, and directed by Jonathan Krisel, the special prequel episode "Marathon Day" shows how Samir, Billie, Issa, and Anton met Paul Baker and how he became part of the house. Here's a look:
