Smiling Friends Promo Celebrates New Summer Special

By Nick Valdez

Smiling Friends is currently hard at work with a second season of the original animated series, but Adult Swim will be bringing the series back for a new special episode this Summer and has released a new promo to help celebrate! Following the premiere of the first season in which Adult Swim had surprisingly debuted the entire slate of episodes over the course of a single unadvertised evening, the series has become one of the biggest new hits for Adult Swim that it was no surprise to find out it was already picked up for a second season. But soon fans will get to see more of the series than expected!

This new special episode takes the titular Smiling Friends outside of their usual workplace as the promo for the episode teases that they will be going on a new adventure in Brazil. All fans get to see is them traveling through the airport for now, so there's still no telling what can happen in the full episode itself given just how hard it is to predict the story from any regular episode of the series. You can check out the promo for Smiling Friends' new Summer special episode below as spotted by @Swimpedia on Twitter: 

"The Smiling Friends Go to Brazil" will be premiering on Adult Swim this Saturday, August 6th at 11:30PM EST. It will be streaming with HBO Max the vert next day if you're not able to catch it as it goes live, however, and Adult Swim describes the special episode as such, "The Smiling Friends finally get to relax in a beautiful Brazilian beach town; Pim works on his novel; Charlie binges a load of torrent shows on his portable hard drive; Alan and Glep enjoy some long-awaited chill-out time at the beach." 

If you wanted to catch Smiling Friends' current season, you can now find it streaming with HBO Max and airing on Adult Swim on various evenings. The series is officially described as such, "Smiling Friends follows the employees of a small company dedicated to bringing happiness to a bizarre yet colorful world. The quarter-hour animated series is co-created by Michael Cusack (YOLO: Crystal Fantasy) and Zach Hadel (Hellbenders) and animated by Princess Bento Studio."
