TL;DR · WeSearch summary

If you missed Common Side Effects when it aired last year, it’s time to catch up with one of Adult Swim’s best and most offbeat shows in recent memory. And soon, it’s coming back for a second season, which Bennett, Hely, and cast members Martha Kelly (DEA Agent Harrington) and Joseph Lee Anderson (DEA Agent Copano) teased at the Common Side Effects panel this week at San Diego Comic-Con. “Early 2027” is the newly announced release window, and the show was far enough along to share a couple of early glimpses with the audience.
