“Big Mouth” may be ending, but the team behind the show is staying in business with Netflix.
Variety has learned that the streamer has ordered the adult animated comedy series “Mating Season” from Brutus Pink, the company that produces “Big Mouth.” The new series will debut in 2026. Per the official description, “Mating Season” is “set in the animal world starring a cast of bears, raccoons, deer, foxes and a host of other horny, lovable forest critters, as they navigate love, sexual relationships and the universal need to hook up and find a partner.”
“‘Big Mouth’ broke new ground in the world of adult animation with heart, humor and total chaos — they took the awkwardness of adolescence and turned it into something universal and deeply human,” said John Derderian, vice president of animation aeries at Netflix. “Working with Nick Kroll and the brilliant minds at Brutus Pink over the course of eight seasons has been legendary. Now, with ‘Mating Season,’ they’ll bring that same bold and hilarious creativity into the animal kingdom. We’re beyond excited to unleash this next chapter together.”
“Mating Season” is created and executive produced by Mark Levin, Jennifer Flackett, Andrew Goldberg and Nick Kroll with Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Antonio Canobbio and Ben Kalina serving as executive producers for Titmouse.
“After eight incredible seasons telling stories about growing up, we’re excited to tell stories about actual grown-ups. Who happen to be animals. Who are also cartoons,” the Brutus Pink team said.
The eighth and final season of “Big Mouth” debuts on May 23. Ahead of the premiere, Kroll and others from the show will be going on what has been dubbed the “Big Mouth Swallows America Farewell Tour.” The tour will see the gang screening new episodes while also dropping exclusive merchandise. Tickets are now available.
“There is no better way to celebrate a global phenomenon like ‘Big Mouth’ than driving a yellow van from Dallas to Tampa to Chicago and all points West,” the Brutus Pink team said. “Honestly though, it is exciting to give audiences around the country the chance to get a special first peek at the final season of ‘Big Mouth’ before it’s unleashed on the rest of the globe.”
