HBO Max’s Close Enough Returns April 7

If everything had gone according to plan, the animated comedy Close Enough would have premiered on TBS…in 2017. That was when creator JG Quintel (Regular Show) and his crew put together a reel of random scenes from proposed storylines and presented it to TBS execs, who greenlit the series for production.

I'm looking forward to next month because I want to watch it again!
Season 3 should hopefully air on TBS as well but if it wont I will subscribe to HBO Max.
