Common Side Effects Season 2

Creators Joseph Bennett from Scavengers Reign and Steve Hely from Vepp created an animated series that is pushing the boundaries of cinema and redefining the genre of adult animation. Here's what they had to say about the renewal of the series for Common Side Effects Season 2.

We are grateful for the enthusiastic response to Common Side Effects and are thrilled to continue exploring this world with our amazing team and the fans who have embraced the show. The opportunity to push the boundaries of animation and storytelling on Adult Swim is like a wonderful mushroom dream. Our goal with the show is to transform planet Earth and restore the human spirit. For now, we will settle for a second season.

The first season of Adult Swim's dark and funny animated series follows the two friends as they try to push their discovery of an all-healing mushroom out in the world. Their path is filled with challenges in the form of a pharmaceutical company and the government trying to prevent this mission. The series has been executive produced by some of the biggest names in the business, Mike Judge from King of the Hill and Greg Daniels from The Office. The cast includes Dave King (Marshall Cuso), Emily Pendergast (Frances Applewhite), Mike Judge, Joseph Lee Anderson, and Martha Kelly.

The season 1 finale of the series titled 'Raid' is set to be featured this Sunday on Adult Swim at 11:30 am ET/PT. The renewal news comes two days before the season finale. Adult Swim president Michael Ouweleen commented on the Common Side Effects Season 2 renewal that,

Joe (Joseph Bennett) and Steve (Hely) did their job by crafting a boundary-pushing and genre-defining piece of television that re-frames what "adult animation" is capable of. 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.

It will definitely be 'nice' to see more of the all-healing mushroom and the high school friends. Although, it remains to be seen what the storyline of the Common Side Effects Season 2 will look like.
