Smiling Friends to End After Season 3 by Creators' Choice

Two unaired Season 3 episodes will air April 12 on Adult Swim.

Overview

  • Creators Zach Hadel and Michael Cusack announced the decision in a video on Adult Swim’s accounts, emphasizing it was not a joke.
  • They cited burnout and a commitment to avoid half‑hearted work, making clear the decision was theirs rather than the network’s.
  • Adult Swim expressed support and said the pair could return with more episodes in the future if they chose.
  • The April 12 installments are described as Season 3 "stragglers" and were not conceived as finales.
  • The move effectively cancels previously announced Seasons 4 and 5, as the duo continues collaborating on other projects, including Zam Studios.
