"To be perfectly honest, after we finished season three, Zach and I just both had the same feeling where we felt pretty burnt out after putting years and years into this but also pretty accomplished. We just came to this feeling where we're like, 'I think that could just be it after season three.' We both felt like it was right."
"When we told them exactly this, they said, 'If you're not feeling like making a cartoon, we're not going to stop you. Go have a break. Either come back or don't.' That's the other thing, we could come back in the future and make more episodes if we want, if we feel like it. And they've been supercool and said they would let us do that."
Smiling Friends creators Michael Cusack and Zach Hadel announced the cancellation of their Adult Swim series after season three, despite the network picking it up for two more seasons. Both creators cited burnout after years of work on the show, though they expressed feeling accomplished with their work. Adult Swim supported their decision, offering them a break without pressure to continue. The creators noted they could potentially return to make more episodes in the future if desired, but have no immediate plans to do so. The final two episodes will air on April 12 and are described as leftover episodes rather than formal series finales.
