ADULT SWIM RENEWS ANIMATED COMEDY
“HAHA, YOU CLOWNS”
FOR TWO ADDITIONAL SEASONS

BURBANK (December 18, 2025) – Adult Swim has announced that “Haha, You Clowns” will return for two more seasons. The relentlessly wholesome animated comedy from creator Joe Cappa follows the Campbell family – three doting teenagers, and their tenderhearted, recently widowed dad – as they navigate life’s awkward, funny, and emotional moments together.
 
“It’s amazing that Joe and the team made something as radically heartfelt and strangely uncanny as ‘Haha, You Clowns,’” said Michael Ouweleen, president, Adult Swim. “But what’s even more amazing is that – in this cynical, uncertain time – all of you showed up for this new show, championed for it on social media, and grew it week over week so we could greenlight not one, but two more seasons. In the words of the show: ‘You are strong! You are loved!’”
 
“I’m so grateful to the fans of the show who gave ‘Haha, You Clowns’ a chance and spread the word,” said Cappa. “I’m incredibly thrilled I get to hang out at the Campbell household for a little longer.”

Currently airing its first season, “Haha, You Clowns” began as an Adult Swim SMALLS short series before expanding into a full-season order. The season finale airs this Sunday at 11:45 p.m. ET/PT on Adult Swim.

“Haha, You Clowns” is produced by Williams Street, Adult Swim’s in-house production company.
