The mission to get a healing mushroom out into the world will continue. Ahead of Sunday’s Season 1 finale, Adult Swim has renewed Common Side Effects for a second season.
The animated comedic thriller series from co-creators Joe Bennett (Scavengers Reign) and Steve Hely (Veep) and executive producers Mike Judge and Greg Daniels (King of the Hill) follows 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.”
The half-hour series follows Marshall and Frances, two former high school lab partners who share a secret: Marshall has discovered the world’s greatest medicine, a mushroom that can heal almost anything. But getting it out into the world won’t be easy – the DEA, big pharma, and international businessmen are all on the chase to stop them.
The series stars Joseph Lee Anderson, Mike Judge, Martha Kelly, Dave King, and Emily Pendergast.
“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,” said co-creators Bennett and Hely. “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 finale episode of the debut season of Common Side Effects will air this Sunday at 11:30om ET/PT on Adult Swim.
Common Side Effects is produced for Adult Swim by Bandera Entertainment and Green Street Pictures.
