Adult Swim‘s new series Common Side Effects is taking on the timely topic of big
pharma.

The project is from co-creators Joe Bennett (Scavengers Reign) and Steve Hely
(Veep), along with producers Mike Judge (Office Space) and Greg Daniels (King of
the Hill).

The first trailer, below, introduces the half-hour comedy thriller which follows
Marshall (Dave King) and Frances (Emily Pendergast), “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. 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.”

“Joe and Steve have created something incredibly original with a series that is
thrilling, beautiful and deeply funny,” said Adult Swim president Michael
Ouweleen. “It’s top-level television that challenges expectations and raises
profound questions. It’s a truly special series and unlike anything you’ve ever
seen. I’m trying not to be hyperbolic, but it’s true.”

Bennett and Hely added, “We hope Common Side Effects will be enjoyed by anyone
who’s ever taken a pill.”

Judge’s participation in a project critiquing the pharmaceutical industry
certainly adds some clout to the show given he’s the visionary who so
hilariously took on workplace culture with 1999’s Office Space, tackled
America’s decline with his arguably prophetic 2006 sci-fi film Idiocracy, and so
deftly skewered Silicon Valley in HBO’s 2014 comedy Silicon Valley.

Big pharma has become a topical subject. The industry has been increasingly
criticized in recent years by populist pundits like Joe Rogan and Robert F.
Kennedy Jr. While on screen, scripted TV hits like Dopesick and Painkiller, as
well as Alex Gibney doc The Crime of the Century, have tackled the opioid
crisis.



In the trailer, Marshall notes, “We spend more money than ever on healthcare and
people are still sick. Think of all the people who make tons of money just by
keeping us unwell.”

Common Side Effects had its world premiere at Annecy International Animation
Film Festival. The series will debut Sunday, Feb. 2 at 11:30 p.m. on Adult Swim
with two back-to-back episodes, followed by one new episode every Sunday.
Episodes will also stream Mondays on Max. The show is produced for Adult Swim by
Bandera and Green Street Pictures.
