Adult Swim has renewed the animated comedy Common Side Effects for a second season. From Joe Bennett, Steve Hely, and executive producers Mike Judge and Greg Daniels, the series explores what happens after a mysterious healing mushroom is discovered.
“Joe and Steve did their job by crafting a boundary-pushing and genre-defining piece of television that re-frames what ‘adult animation’ is capable of,” said Adult Swim president Michael Ouweleen. “And you all did your job by showing up on Adult Swim and Max to support the show and lighting up your socials to spread the word. So, see? We CAN have nice things.”
