‘Ha Ha, You Clowns’ and More ‘Smiling Friends’ Coming to Adult Swim

At its ‘Defying Expectations’ Annecy 2024 panel, the network also reveals a new series order for ‘Oh My God, Yes! A Series of Extremely Relatable Circumstances’ produced by Six Point Harness.

During Adult Swim’s “Defying Expectations Panel” earlier today at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, the network revealed new series currently in production and new season pick-ups:

Oh My God, Yes! A Series of Extremely Relatable Circumstances

  • Created by Emmy-nominated writer and executive producer Adele “Supreme” Williams (Netflix’s My Dad the Bounty Hunter), the quarter-hour comedy follows three best friends navigating the wild and dicey dating misadventures in South Central LA circa 2102.
  • The pilot episode aired last year as part of Adult Swim’s pilot block and is now available to watch on Adult Swim.com.
  • Dominique Braud is executive producer for Adult Swim by Six Point Harness.

Ha Ha, You Clowns

  • Adult Swim ordered a full series pick-up of the popular Adult Swim SMALLS animated short series. The quarter-hour comedy follows three sweet-natured brothers who, alongside their deeply caring father, embark on various adventures as they bond together in the wake of their mother’s passing. Inspired by suburban family TV shows of the past, the series mixes heartfelt emotions with surreal comedy.
  • Joe Cappa is the show's creator. His animated short Ghost Dogs was a 2021 Sundance Festival Official Selection and winner of the Satoshi Kon Award at Fantasia.

Smiling Friends

  • The popular series returns for a third season.
  • Co-created and starring Michael Cusack and Zach Hadel, the series follows the employees of a small company dedicated to bringing happiness to a bizarre yet colorful world.
  • The series is a selection for this year’s Annecy International Animation Film Festival official competition.
