Is ‘Common Side Effects' returning for season 2? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 18, 2025, 18:00 IST Last updated June 18, 2025, 11:00 IST
Adult Swim's Common Side Effects has taken the animated world by storm with its unique blend of dark humor, conspiracy-driven storytelling, and surreal visuals. Since its Season 1 premiere in February 2025, fans have been buzzing about the possibility of a second season. Here's everything we know so far. Common Side Effects Season 2 Renewal Confirmed
Adult Swim officially renewed Common Side Effects for a second season on March 28, 2025, just before the Season 1 finale aired. The announcement came as no surprise, given the show's critical acclaim, strong viewership on Adult Swim and Max, and enthusiastic fan support on social media. Season 2 Release Date Speculation
While Adult Swim has confirmed the renewal, an official release date for Common Side Effects Season 2 has not been announced. Based on the production timeline of Season 1, which took roughly 18 months from its June 2023 announcement to its February 2025 premiere, industry experts speculate a potential release in late 2026, possibly around September or October.
The intricate animation style and serialized storytelling require significant production time, typically 12–18 months for high-quality animated series. However, recent updates from the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in June 2025 revealed that the first script for Season 2 is complete, and the team described the upcoming season as 'tight,' suggesting progress is underway. Where to Watch Common Side Effects
Season 1 of Common Side Effects is available to stream on Max and airs on Adult Swim, with encore broadcasts on the Toonami programming block.

5 Must-Read Analyst Questions From Warner Bros. Discovery's Q1 Earnings Call
Warner Bros. Discovery's first quarter results for 2025 were met with a positive market response despite missing Wall Street's revenue expectations, as management highlighted progress on key strategic priorities. CEO David Zaslav credited the company's emphasis on high-quality storytelling and a disciplined approach to content investment for driving performance, particularly in the streaming segment, which added over 5 million subscribers during the quarter. The leadership team pointed to strong audience engagement with recent releases like The White Lotus, The Pit, and the Minecraft movie as evidence that their focus on quality content is translating into commercial success. Is now the time to buy WBD? Find out in our full research report (it's free). Revenue: $8.98 billion vs analyst estimates of $9.56 billion (9.8% year-on-year decline, 6% miss) Adjusted EBITDA: $2.11 billion vs analyst estimates of $2.08 billion (23.4% margin, 1.1% beat) Operating Margin: -0.4%, up from -2.7% in the same quarter last year Market Capitalization: $27.59 billion While we enjoy listening to the management's commentary, our favorite part of earnings calls are the analyst questions. Those are unscripted and can often highlight topics that management teams would rather avoid or topics where the answer is complicated. Here is what has caught our attention. Steven Cahall (Wells Fargo) asked about the new divisional structure's impact on capital flexibility. CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels emphasized improved transparency and optionality but declined to speculate on capital structures for specific assets. Peter Supino (Wolfe Research) inquired about the sports content strategy on Max. CEO David Zaslav and JB Perrette, CEO of Global Streaming and Games, indicated experimentation with different models, but stressed a shift toward proprietary IP over rental-based sports rights. Bryan Kraft (Deutsche Bank) questioned how HBO consistently produces standout hits and its appeal to younger viewers. CEO Zaslav attributed success to a long-standing, experienced creative team and a deliberate focus on quality over quantity. David Karnovsky (JPMorgan) asked about macroeconomic impacts and advertising trends. Wiedenfels stated the company has seen no material impact so far, and Q2 advertising trends are tracking in line with Q1, with cost management measures in place. Jessica Reif Ehrlich (Bank of America Securities) sought clarity on ARPU growth drivers and streaming consolidation prospects. JB Perrette outlined plans for new pricing, ad products, and password sharing initiatives, while Zaslav discussed optionality created by the company's reorganization. In the coming quarters, our team is watching (1) the pace and success of Max's global expansion, particularly in Europe; (2) the rollout and consumer uptake of ad-supported and password sharing features; and (3) the performance of upcoming franchise films and series, including their impact on subscriber engagement and studio profitability. Progress on cost control and execution of the new divisional structure will also be key markers. Warner Bros. Discovery currently trades at $11.15, up from $8.59 just before the earnings.

Hargitay is the daughter of actress Jayne Mansfield, who died at the age of 34 in a 1967 car accident when Hargitay, who was also in the car, was just three years old.

In an HBO press release, Hargitay said the film is 'a search for the mother I never knew, an integration of a part of myself I'd never owned, and a reclaiming of my mother's story and my own truth.' 'My Mom Jayne' release date and time: 'My Mom Jayne' will be released June 27 at 8 p.m. ET on the HBO cable channel. It will begin streaming on Max at the same time.

'The Comeback' starring Lisa Kudrow to return for 3rd and final season
Production for the highly anticipated third season will begin this summer. 3:07 "The Comeback" is making a comeback. HBO has renewed the Lisa Kudrow -starring comedy series for a third and final season. The renewal announcement comes 20 years after the first season of the beloved HBO show debuted in 2005 and 10 years after season 2. Michael Patrick King, the show's creator, is reuniting with Kudrow for the third and final chapter in Valerie Cherish's story. They both will also executive produce the season. Other returning series regulars include Dan Bucatinsky, Laura Silverman and Damian Young. "Valerie Cherish has found her way back to the current television landscape. Neither of us are surprised she did," Kudrow and King said in a press release. Max also released an official video announcement celebrating the upcoming season 3. "This is the last one. All right? Last time. Never doing this again," Kudrow says in character as Valerie Cherish. "Well, I've got a new show. How's that? And I'm so excited about it." A person off-screen tells her to read the line again, this time more excited. She ends up reading the line several times, before she gets upset and storms off the set. "You know what, I'm not fooling around anymore," she says as she walks away. Amy Gravitt, the executive vice president of HBO and Max comedy programming, called the character of Valerie Cherish a survivor. "On the 20th Anniversary of her debut, Michael Patrick King and Lisa Kudrow have brilliantly scripted her return to HBO and we can't wait to see that," Gravitt said. Season 3 of "The Comeback" will debut on HBO and HBO Max in 2026. It begins production this summer.
