Ahead of the upcoming eighth and final season of Big Mouth, Netflix has announced that it is set to reunite with the creators of the Emmy-nominated show for another adult animated comedy series, swapping adolescents for anthropomorphic animals with Mating Season.
The new series has been created by Mark Levin, Jennifer Flackett, Andrew Goldberg, and Nick Kroll – a.k.a. Brutus Pink – and “follows 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, Animation Series, 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.”
“After eight incredible seasons telling stories about growing up, we’re excited to tell stories about actual grown-ups,” added Brutus Pink. “Who happen to be animals. Who are also cartoons.”
Mating Season is coming soon to Netflix, while the eight and final season of Big Mouth will premiere on the streamer on May 23rd.
