Common Side Effects Interview: Creators Steve Hely & Joe Bennett on Making New Adult Swim Show

ComingSoon Senior Editor Brandon Schreur spoke to Steve Hely and Joe Bennett about creating the new Adult Swim animated series Common Side Effects. Hely and Bennett discussed how the show addresses topics of Big Pharma, creating the trippy-looking animation, and more. “The half-hour series follows Marshall and Frances, two former high school lab partners who share a secret: Marshall has discovered the world’s greatest medicine, a mushroom that can heal almost anything,” the synopsis for the show reads. “But getting it out into the world won’t be easy – the DEA, big pharma, and international businessmen are all on the chase to stop them.” Common Side Effects will premiere on Sunday, February 2, at 11:30 ET/PT on Adult Swim. New episodes will also stream on Mondays on Max.
