Season 2 of Common Side Effects premieres on Sunday, 24 January 2027 at 11pm ET on Adult Swim.
Is it for me?
This is adult animation for anyone who likes conspiracies calm and dry; fans of Scavengers Reign will settle in. The villains are powerful people too distracted to be scary; Mike Judge voices a pharma CEO more interested in a phone game than in running the company. Everyone has oversized heads and tiny hands. Marshall heals an injured pigeon with the mushroom to convince a doubtful Frances.
Before you start
It is one continuous story, so watch in order; the pace stays conversational, with little action to speed things up.
1 season, 10 episodes, 30 min each, about 5 hours so far
