Two more seasons of the comedy series are already in production at Williams Street.While the show is renewed for Seasons 4 and 5, the co-creators have certainly thought about its end. In their interview with The Hollywood Reporter, they revealed how the show 'won't go on and on':“We want it to be like a nice little box set, and we’ve talked about potential seasons that we’d want to stop at, for sure, and it depends on the day. Sometimes we’ll wake up and be like, ‘You know what? Three seasons could be enough.’ But then the next day, we’re like, ‘No, actually, another number sounds better.’ So we always go back and forth, but we are pretty staunch on it not going on forever.”Cusack and Hadel's comments suggest that the show might come to an end soon, but fans are certainly getting more episodes and hearty laughs for now.Season 3 featured crazy adventures and a fresh look at secondary characters View this post on Instagram Instagram PostSmiling Friends might have wrapped its third season run on November 30 but fans are calling it the best installment yet. Before the latest season's premiere, the co-creators teased how the upcoming seasons will feature new & crazy adventures for Pim and Charlie, a fresh look at the secondary characters and new mediums of animation.Cusack and Hadel rightly delivered on that promise as Smiling Friends Season 3 was a wild ride that featured a special spotlight on secondary characters like Mr. Frog and Glep.
