After ending Smiling Friends with Season 3 due to creator burnout, co-creators Michael Cusack and Zach Hadel say the show might still return: they have a Google Doc full of ideas and even Season 4 scripts, and the Emmy nomination has kept the door open with odds that vary day to day but are not zero.

Scientists thawed a 24,000-year-old rotifer preserved in Siberian permafrost, revived it under strict lab conditions, and observed renewed metabolism and asexual reproduction, showing that multicellular life can endure cryptobiosis for millennia. The finding has implications for biotechnology and astrobiology, though researchers caution that revival of larger animals is unlikely.
Scientists thawed a 24,000-year-old rotifer from Siberian permafrost, observed it resume normal function, and even reproduce asexually, marking a milestone in showing multicellular life can survive cryptobiosis under extreme cold. The work suggests longevity of cellular structures in long-term frozen states and has implications for biology and astrobiology, though experts caution that revival of larger organisms is unlikely.
A rotifer revived from 24,000-year-old Siberian permafrost not only returned to life but also reproduced, illustrating multicellular cryptobiosis and pushing the boundaries of long-term survival in extreme conditions.
