Posted on by

Smiling Friends creators Zach Hadel and Michael Cusack were teasing a surprise tonight whilst at WonderCon 2024 and although fans, and many many outlets, were expecting the second season of the show to premiere, what we got instead, was a recreation of the show’s first season episodes done entirely in puppet with mixed in with some live-action thrown in there. Season two eventually did have its premiere at 12:45 am ET/PT.

Cute-looking caricatures inspired by our favorite Smiling Friends characters, dozens of interstitials, and hammed together ADR adorned the revamped episodes and looks to be a taste of what we can expect for the show’s second season which has is being promised to feature a variety of animation, such as 2D, 3D, stop motion, and live-action content.

Smiling Friends season two premieres on May 12th @ Midnight ET/PT, only on Adult Swim. Streams next day on MAX.
