Season 2 follows Marshall and Frances (voiced by Emily Pendergast), Marshall\u2019s former lab partner-turned-accomplice, as the two fugitives try to stay one step ahead of the many forces trying to stop them from sharing this panacea with the world.<\/p>\n

Judge and Greg Daniels, both known for their work on \u201cKing of the Hill,\u201d also executive produce the series.

\u201cAt Adult Swim, we always put our faith not just in talented creators who are driven to push animation into new territory, but also in a fanbase that we know will show up and embrace the new without hesitation,\u201d network president Michael Ouweleen shared in a statement. \u201cThe second season of\u00a0\u2018Common Side Effects\u2019 continues to make possible new things not just for this series, but for adult animation as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe remain committed to asking important questions, capturing life\u2019s absurdity, telling surprising stories and, whenever possible, advancing our long-term mission of healing humanity through mysterious mushrooms,\u201d Bennett and Hely added. \u201cSo if you\u2019re one of humanity\u2019s ills, know this: your days are numbered.\u201d<\/p>\n
