What is Smiling Friends about?
Smiling Friends is an Australian-American adult animated television series created by Zach Hadel and Michael Cusack for Cartoon Network's night-time programming block Adult Swim, which revolves around the surreal misadventures of a small company and its four employees dedicated to spreading happiness.
Smiling Friends follows the day-to-day lives and misadventures of a business dedicated to bringing happiness to its customers. A quartet of iconic employees: optimistic Pim, cynical Charlie, deadpan Allan, and minute Glep, along with their eccentric superior Mr. Boss, try to help out the troubled people who call their company's hotline; this usually proves to be more challenging than anticipated due to the often deep-seated nature of their clients' problems.
Smiling Friends utilizes a variety of different styles and techniques to bring its characters to life. This includes but is not limited to stylized traditional animation, CGI, rotoscoping, stop motion, and live-action.
The pilot episode aired April 1, 2020, unannounced as part of Adult Swim's annual April Fools' Day event alongside the premiere of Cusack's other series, YOLO. On May 19, 2021, Adult Swim ordered a full season that was initially set to premiere in late 2021.
A panel dedicated to the series was held during the Adult Swim Festival on November 12, 2021, where co-creator Zach Hadel mentioned the show will premiere "within a few months", pushing the release schedule ahead to 2022. The first season contains nine episodes, including the pilot and an 11-minute special. The first season eventually premiered on January 10, 2022, with Adult Swim airing all episodes of the season, except for the special, in one night despite initial plans for a weekly release.
During Adult Swim's panel at New York Comic Con in October 2023, it was confirmed that the second season would premiere in 2024, and would include a variety of animation styles, such as stylized 2D, 3D, stop motion, and live-action content.
