Smiling Friends, the hit animated series airing on Adult Swim, is set to wrap up after its third season. CNN's Yon Pomrenze breaks down why the creators chose to end the show despite it having already been renewed for two additional seasons.
Co-created by Michael Cusack and Zach Hadel, the series launched in 2022 and follows co-workers Charlie (voiced by Hadel) and Pim (Cusack) as they try to spread positivity to others. Despite The Hollywood Reporter reporting in June that the animated show had been renewed for two more seasons, Cusack and Hadel announced late Wednesday that it will conclude with its third season.
