Farewell to Beautiful Chaos: Happy Tree Friends Leaves Adult Swim March 12th

In the world of Adult Swim, it's not uncommon for shows to come and go, leaving their mark on the late-night lineup before venturing onward to their next chapter. Unfortunately, it’s with heavy (if slightly stunned) hearts that we announce the departure of Happy Tree Friends from Adult Swim’s schedule. Come March 12th, the delightfully gory misadventures of cuddly woodland creatures will no longer grace our network.

For the uninitiated, Happy Tree Friends is the ultimate bait-and-switch TV show. Bright, colorful animation meets dark, disturbingly hilarious carnage, and the results have kept audiences simultaneously giggling and cringing for years. Starting its journey as a quirky web series before diving into cult status, Happy Tree Friends perfectly embodied the "what did we just watch?" energy that Adult Swim thrives on. Always teetering between absurdity and horror, it earned a special spot in our chaotic, weird little family.

But like all good things (and all traumatized cartoon animals), Happy Tree Friends has reached the end of its run on Adult Swim. As of March 12th, 2024, it will no longer be a part of our schedule. Licensing agreements can be a fickle beast, and this time it means saying goodbye to a beloved show that has been enduringly popular in its 11:00 PM and 1:30 AM slots.

If you're a devoted fan wondering how to squeeze in a few more laughs (and flinches) before it’s gone, here’s what to expect in the lead-up to March 12th. We’re keeping Happy Tree Friends in its usual time slots (11:00 PM and 1:30 AM) up until its final airing, where we plan to give it a proper sendoff filled with the most iconic—and most absurdly gruesome—episodes from its catalog. This means there’s still time to relive your favorite moments of Splendid’s super (but ultimately disastrous) heroics, Lumpy’s endless supply of poor decisions, and the unfortunate mishaps of Cuddles, Giggles, Toothy, Flaky, and the whole gang.

This announcement raises a bittersweet question for longtime viewers of Adult Swim: What comes next? Rest assured, our team is working tirelessly to ensure the schedule is packed with the unique and boundary-pushing programming you’ve come to expect. Although the creators of Happy Tree Friends will be moving on, their mischievous spirit remains a core part of the energy here at Adult Swim.

For those wondering, Adult Swim insiders have hinted that Happy Tree Friends may be available on streaming platforms post-March 12th (keep an eye out for updates from the creators!), so all is not lost. The internet is a playground for cult classics, and we're confident this show will continue to thrive in all its blood-soaked, deceptively adorable glory.

So, Adult Swim faithful, let’s make the most of these next few weeks. Grab your popcorn, steel your nerves, and settle in for the twisted brilliance of Happy Tree Friends while it’s still here. And when the final episode airs on March 12th, let’s collectively raise a toast to this iconic, chaos-infused series that blurred the line between hilarity and horror for so many years.

Farewell, Happy Tree Friends. You’ve horrified us, you’ve made us laugh, and you’ve reminded us that sometimes, the cutest things bite hardest—and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

As always, stay tuned for updates on when the next wave of bizarre, boundary-pushing content hits the lineup. After all, Adult Swim is about keeping the weird alive.

— Team Adult Swim


Write a tweet saying MM won't let them keep airting it


"Unfortunately, Mondo Media won’t let us keep airing Happy Tree Friends after March 12th. We’re as sad as Lumpy after a ‘bright idea.’ 🪦 Catch it while you can in its regular slots before it hops off our schedule for good! 💔 #HappyTreeFriends #AdultSwim" Write a forum conversation asking what;s happening to 11:30pm and 1:30am
