Big Mouth has earned a season eight renewal from Netflix, making it the longest-running original series (outside of Kids & Family content) on the streaming service. That’s great news for fans of the raunchy adult animated comedy. However, the renewal announcement also confirmed the popular comedy’s eighth season will be its last.
Additionally, Netflix will be wrapping up the Big Mouth spinoff Human Resources after its upcoming second season. The streaming service cushioned that announcement by assuring viewers that Human Resources characters will “flow into” seasons seven and eight of Big Mouth.
Season seven will debut this year, and season eight is targeting a 2024 premiere.
“If you would have told adolescent Nick Kroll and Andrew Goldberg that middle school would take 8 years to finish, they would have been like ‘yeah, that sounds about right. This seems like it will never end,’” said Nick Kroll, star and executive producer.
Netflix reports subscribers have watched more than 1 billion – yes, billion – hours of Big Mouth and Human Resources.
“Big Mouth is a towering achievement in animated comedy that will make Netflix history for its longevity,” said Billy Wee, Netflix Director of Adult Animation. “We are thrilled that we still have two more hilarious seasons to share with fans before this brilliant coming-of-age story reaches its conclusion.”
Big Mouth was created by Nick Kroll, Andrew Goldberg, Mark Levin, and Jennifer Flackett. The series premiered in September 2017 and has earned two Primetime Emmy Awards in the Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance category, along with an Annie Award in the Outstanding Achievement for Writing in an Animated Television/Media Production category.
The Big Mouth Plot:
Big Mouth is the fan-beloved, critically-acclaimed, and Emmy-winning adult animated comedy about the glorious nightmare that is puberty. Inspired by Kroll and Andrew Goldberg’s childhood, it follows a group of friends and their hormone monsters as they navigate adolescence, human sexuality, and coming of age.
