Owen Thiele has a lot going on. The actor and podcaster just wrapped filming the second season of Adults, is currently filming Molly Gordon's Peaked and is set to rejoin the cast of Overcompensating for season 2.
When chatting with PEOPLE, however, the 29-year-old insists that "it feels like I'm doing things that I love and it doesn't feel stressful."
"It feels really fun," he says. "It feels like I'm going from a job where I'm working with my best friends, Adults, and then I'm going to a movie with a friend I've known since I was 2, and then I'm going to another show where [Benito Skinner] is creating, and he's one of my best friends."
"I feel like I'm just hanging out with my friends, and I'm so lucky because they work so much, and so I'm lucky to see them while they work. It doesn't feel like work," Thiele adds.
Despite all of his projects' success, he says the process still feels like they're "making a short film in high school that no one will ever see."

"It ultimately does go out to the masses, but it has that spirit," he says. "It has the spirit of 'boots on the ground, let's take a camera and let's make this, and let's see what happens.' We feel supported and loved. That's what makes good art, feeling supported and loved by the people you're making it with."
Thiele also teases what fans can expect from season two of Adults, sharing that, ultimately, it's about a "friend group that has complicated feelings towards each other because of what happened last season."
"We're navigating through that. I think what the writers have done so brilliantly is they've kept the love between us all. It feels like a real friend group," he tells PEOPLE. "When the going gets tough, you still choose your friends. There's definitely some drama, which I think is a lot of fun. It's also fun for my character because Anton is truly so guarded."
What's been especially fun for the new season, he shares, is "playing with his depth and his vulnerability and showing that to people."
In addition to his work on screen, his podcast, In Your Dreams with Owen Thiele, has built a cult following thanks to his candid late-night style conversations with celebrities from Kendall Jenner to Hailey Bieber and more.

However, there are a few more superstars he'd love to welcome to the set.
"Let's get Sabrina Carpenter or Taylor Swift on my podcast. But, also, if they don't want to, I respect you both, and I love you, and I totally understand," he says.
Regardless, his dream for the year is to "keep creating things that I'm proud of."
"I feel like working with your friends... I'm so infinitely proud of my friends, and I'm so lucky to be part of their work," he emphasizes. "I would be proud of it if I weren't in it, so to be able to be involved, I feel so lucky to keep working with people that I admire and respect."
Inspired by a viral tweet about a potential crossover between Adults, Overcompensating and I Love L.A., Thiele shares, "Rachel Sennott, this is your official notice. I gotta be in I Love L.A."

Thiele was also recently tapped to curate some of his current fashion obsessions for the eBay N.Y.C. Edit. The collection he curated is "all about comfort," he says.
"But, I'm also all about looking cute. My trend for this season is no trend at all. Put on the oldest thing your grandpa owns, and it'll be cute," he shares. "Vintage sweaters, button-down shirts that probably are too big, pants that don't fit quite right, that you need a belt."
While he's leaning into dressing both cute and comfortable, there's one style trend Thiele wants to leave behind: shoulder pads.
"Unless it's actually your grandpa's blazer that you're wearing. I'm over the huge shoulder pad," Thiele says.
"Every time I go on eBay, I'm so excited because I can type in the most specific thing — quarter zip, Ralph Lauren, '90s, oversized, blue with stripes, and it's there. That's why I love it so much," he says. "You're buying things from people in places that you feel like you'll never even go, but somehow you're like, 'Why are we aligned fashion-wise? Why do we know each other in a fashion past life?' "
