What originally began as a short on Adult Swim’s Smalls has become a very popular show. Joe Cappa’s creation follows the lives of the Campbell family after the loss of the wife and mother of the family. Fans are treated to see how the father and his three teenage sons cope with loss and find ways to come together and love each other in every episode.

One of the most wholesome shows Adult Swim has released, second only to Joe Perra Talks With You, Haha, You Clowns is about love, loss, and overcoming grief together as a family.

Check out more info below. Hopefully we don’t have to wait too long for the next season!

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.

Leading up to the HBOmax (and HBO?) as well as Adult Swim premieres of the new movie, Swim has officially announced a 12th season of everyone’s favorite anthropomorphic food monsters and their quest to rid the world of hunger… or something. While the five episode run is a tiny bit baffling (we’ve been speculating rampantly as to how they came upon that exact number), we’ll take any amount of ATHF we can get! Plus, stranger things have happened… that is to say, who knows what could happen leading up to the premiere (date TBD)?

Here’s Swim’s official Press Release as well as info on when/where you can catch the streaming/television premieres for Plantasm. Stay tuned!

I can’t wait for you to discover the project everyone has been talking about, and by everyone, I mean our personal twitter accounts. There is too much stuff to watch already. Breathe, and focus exclusively on Aqua Teen. Delete everything else.”

 “Aqua Teen Forever: Plantasm” features everyone’s favorite Aqua Teens: the brainy Frylock, the mouthy Master Shake, the loveable Meatwad, and everyone’s favorite perverted neighbor, Carl. They split up then get back together to fight everyone’s favorite corporate overlord, Amazin, led by everyone’s favorite tech mogul, Neil (voiced by everyone’s favorite Peter Serafinowicz) and his trusty scientist sidekick, Elmer (Golden Globe* winner Paul Walter Hauser, who is everyone’s favorite).

The feature stars Carey Means “The Brak Show”) as Frylock, Dana Snyder (“Squidbillies”) as Master Shake, and co-creator Dave Willis (“Squidbillies,” “Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell”) as Meatwad.

That was fast.

If you haven’t seen it or you haven’t seen enough of it, the show airs on Thursdays at 12am EST/PST.
It stars Chris Elliott, was created by Michael Koman and Andrew Weinberg, and is being produced by Conan O’Brien, Jason Woliner, Troy Miller, Tracey Baird, David Kissinger, Jeff Ross, and Matt Harrigan.

Jackson and Doc Hammer officially began writing the new episodes last week, though Jackson notes that they had previously thrown around some ideas while working on the season 4 finale.

And as if two seasons weren’t enough, Jackson makes mention of two upcoming specials. One, a long-form (60-90 min.) special. The other, a much looser 15-minute special they have been secretly putting together with Titmouse Studios (whom also produce Metalocalypse).
