The Healing Mushroom: A New Adventure Awaits

Remember Scavengers Reign, the show that Netflix canceled earlier this year? Well, the same production company, Green Street, is back with a new series called Common Side Effects. It's set to hit Adult Swim and Max on February 2, 2025. The show tells the story of two ex-high school lab partners, Marshall and Frances, who stumble upon a miracle mushroom that can heal almost any disease. This discovery doesn't go unnoticed, and soon, they're being chased by pharmaceutical companies looking to cash in on the find. Marshall wants to share the mushroom with the world, while Frances considers selling it to boost her career.

The recent spotlight on healthcare, especially after the death of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, makes this show even more timely. It raises questions about the high cost of medicine and the profits made by corporations. Common Side Effects is expected to have the same stunning visuals as Scavengers Reign, with a moody and eerie atmosphere. If you're curious, there's already a six-minute preview available to check out.
