It's a great opportunity to catch up on this notable Adult Swim animated original. The first season, along with the "Go to Brazil" special, is available for streaming on Max and Blu-ray. Adult Swim describes Smiling Friends as a series that follows the employees of a small company dedicated to bringing happiness to a bizarre yet colorful world. The quarter-hour animated show is co-created by Michael Cusack (YOLO: Crystal Fantasy) and Zach Hadel (Hellbenders) and animated by Princess Bento Studio.
Fan reactions to the news of season 2 release
The network teased the news with a teaser, featuring the Smiling Friends’ iconic happy face emerging like the sun to our Earth. The clip concludes by promising that the new episodes will drop “next Sunday at midnight.”
However, fans noticed something concerning: the premiere coincides with April Fool’s Day. “Please don’t turn me into a Frowning Friend with an April Fools Joke,” pleaded one on X.(formerly Twitter)
Another commented, “I will never forgive you guys if this is an April Fool’s joke.” And a third added, “Considering we received the announcement without a press release or trailer, it seems like it’s going to be the April Fools stunt.”
However, some remain hopeful, especially since the Smiling Friends pilot episode debuted on April Fool’s Day in 2020. “It’s fine. The pilot premiered on April Fools,” reassured one.
Furthermore, Hadel and Cusack have a panel scheduled at the 2024 WonderCon on Saturday, March 30, where they will offer a special look at the new season.
