Smiling Friends

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 a small charity dedicated to making people smile.

The pilot episode aired April 1, 2020 as a part of Adult Swim's annual April Fools Day event alongside another work of Cusack's, YOLO: Crystal Fantasy and promptly became a hit. The first season premiered on January 10, 2022, with Adult Swim airing all episodes of the season in one night despite initial plans for a weekly release.

Smiling Friends has received acclaim from both audiences and critics for its characterization, humor, writing, and integration of mixed media including 3D animation, stop motion, and live action. The series was renewed for a second season on February 9, 2022.
