Adult Swim’s April Fools’ Day Surprise: A Puppet Revamp and Anticipated Return of ‘Smiling Friends’ Season 2

It is April Fool’s Day, but Adult Swim has something big up its sleeves, and this year has been no different because ‘Smiling Friends’ big return to screens has fans excited. Adult Swim kept the tempo and hype high in the run-up to the return of the Smiling Friends animated series. The promotions were hectic on April Fool’s Day evening at midnight, making fans wonder what tricks Adult Swim is up to and what the content of Smiling Friends Season 2 will be.

It has turned out that Smiling Friends Season 2 is a refurbished puppet version of Season 1’s best episodes that began with the first episode. It is not clear if there will be a full premiere of Smiling Friends Season 2 this evening, but one thing is for sure: the release is imminent and will happen sometime this year, probably in May. It is also a reason to revamp your memory and watch the most notable Adult Swim animated originals of the last few years.

Adult Swim has teased the broad storyline of Smiling Friends Season 2 and revealed that it is a story of a small company that works to bring smiles back in a bizarre yet colorful world. The animated series is believed to be of quarter-hour duration and has been created by Michael Cusack (YOLO: Crystal Fantasy) and Zach Hadel (Hellbenders) and animated by Princess Bento Studio. It was also revealed that the animated series of Smiling Friends included “Mr. Frog.” The series is expected to be streamed on May 12, 2024, on Adult Swim and May 13 on Max.

Here’s a look at the first “remixed” episode of Adult Swim’s Smiling Friends. If you believe that this is a rehashed version of the earlier Smiling Friends series, you are wrong. Pim & Alan have joined hands to create a video game character whom Pim has been chaperoning for the past couple of years. Charlie lands himself into trouble and is handcuffed by Smiling Friends’ policy of doing anything to make the client smile, and the going gets even more difficult.

Beyond the fact that it is one of the most anticipated shows characterized by its distinct character design and surreal storytelling, not much is known about its storyline.

However, season 1 was a roaring success, and fans can expect Smiling Friends to continue with its innovative approach to storytelling and diverse animation styles.
