Smiling Friends , the absurdly hilarious adult animated series created by Zach Hadel and Michael Cusack, has captured a devoted fanbase with its surreal humor and eclectic animation styles. After two wildly successful seasons on Adult Swim, anticipation for Smiling Friends Season 3 is at an all-time high. Here's everything we know so far about the release date, cast and plot details to keep you ahead of the curve. Smiling Friends Season 3 Release Date Speculation
As of June 2025, Smiling Friends Season 3 does not have an official release date, but recent updates provide a clearer picture. According to a report from Corus Entertainment, the parent company of Adult Swim Canada, the third season is slated to premiere in Fall 2025 on Adult Swim Canada, with a likely simultaneous release in the United States.
Further confirmation came during the Annecy International Animation Film Festival on June 11, 2025, where Adult Swim announced that Season 3 will air this fall. Additionally, a work-in-progress screening of the season is scheduled for June 11, 2025, at Annecy, attended by co-creators Zach Hadel and Michael Cusack.
While an exact premiere date remains unconfirmed, fans can expect new episodes between September and November 2025, aligning with Adult Swim's typical fall schedule. Smiling Friends Season 3 Expected Cast and Characters
The core voice cast is expected to return for Smiling Friends Season 3, bringing back the beloved employees of Smiling Friends Inc. Based on previous seasons and confirmed reports, here's who we anticipate: Michael Cusack as Pim Pimling, Allan Red, Mr. Frog, and various characters
Zach Hadel as Charlie Dompler, Glep, Gwimbly, and others
Marc M. as Mr. Boss
Additional voices from recurring actors like Perry Caravello (Simon S. Salty) and Lyle Rath (Mr. Man, IGBG CEO) Smiling Friends Season 3 Potential Plot Details
Specific plot details for Smiling Friends Season 3 remain under wraps, but the creators have shared insights into the show's direction. The series will continue its episodic format, following Charlie, Pim, Allan, and Glep as they tackle bizarre client requests at Smiling Friends Inc. Expect the same mix of absurd humor, surreal scenarios, and lighthearted chaos that defines the show.
Hadel and Cusack have emphasized that Season 3 will avoid serialization or dramatic tones, staying true to its 'McDonald's of TV' philosophy—quick, fun, and accessible. 'A lot of comedy shows tend to get serious. I don't think Charlie and Pim could cry and anybody would care,' Hadel said at Annecy.
The show will likely introduce new clients and fresh challenges, with potential for deeper character development. Cusack noted in March 2025 that the writing team has a sharper grasp of the main cast, promising tighter scripts and better jokes.
