Big Mouth is coming again to Netflix this October for a third season, and Queer Eye’s Fab Five are getting in on the action.

Yes, Jonathan Van Ness, Tan France, Bobby Berk, Antoni Porowski, and Karamo Brown will all be braving Netflix’s adult animation, which navigates the world of puberty with maximum rudeness. Their new makeover? Coach Steve, whose brush is being used in all the wrong places.

Created by Nick Kroll and Andrew Goldberg, the series continues to the growing pains of life into literal monsters with foul mouths and bizarre habits – and fake game shows. And so we have The Hormone Monster (Nick Kroll) and The Hormone Monstress (Maya Rudolph), as well as The Shame Wizard (David Thewlis), the Hormone Monster’s mortal enemy, who haunts the kids and preys on their deepest shame. The kids, meanwhile, are young Andrew (John Mulaney) and his best friend, Nick (Kroll), as well as Gina (Gina Rodriguez), a girl on Missy (Jenny Slate) and Jessi’s (Jessi Klein) soccer team.

After a Valentine’s Day special earlier this year, Big Mouth Season 3 promises viewers a chance to get their PhD in Puberty. It premieres on 4th October. Here’s the NSFW trailer:

 

Big Mouth: Season 3 is available on Netflix UK, as part of an £9.99 monthly subscription.

 

Big Mouth renewed for Season 3

18th November 2018

Big Mouth will return for a third season, Netflix has officially confirmed.

The animated series, which is created by Nick Kroll and Andrew Goldberg, is one of Netflix’s most disturbing original shows. It aims to bring the horror of puberty to life, and does so with a warped sense of humour and as many dirty jokes as possible – turning the growing pains of life into literal monsters with foul mouths and bizarre habits.

And so we have The Hormone Monster (Nick Kroll) and The Hormone Monstress (Maya Rudolph), as well as The Shame Wizard (David Thewlis), the Hormone Monster’s mortal enemy, who haunts the kids and preys on their deepest shame. The kids, meanwhile, are young Andrew (John Mulaney) and his best friend, Nick (Kroll), as well as Gina (Gina Rodriguez), a girl on Missy (Jenny Slate) and Jessi’s (Jessi Klein) soccer team.

You can expect them all to return, as the series continues its exploration of the sordid, awkward moments that make up teen life.

“Whenever we interviewed a writer for the show we’d always say, ‘Tell us about what it was like when you had your first period, or what it was like when you were caught masturbating,’” the show’s creators said at a PaleyFest panel last year. “That was the litmus test because they had to be able to freely open up. We made the room a really safe place where everyone could talk about that.”

The renewal was announced this weekend, only a month after its second season premiered on Netflix. You can expect Season 3 to arrive next year – and for puberty to only get messier and messier.

Here’s the video Big Mouth posted on Twitter breaking the news:

Netflix renews Big Mouth for Season 2

25th October 2017

Big Mouth is coming, all over again.

Netflix has renewed the edgy adult animated series for a second season. The show, which is determined to bring the horror and humour of puberty with as many dirty jokes as possible, is created by real-life best friends Nick Kroll and Andrew Goldberg, with comedian John Mulaney lending his voice to the character of Andrew, while Kroll (who serves as co-creator, executive producer) voices many other parts, including best friend Nick.

“It comes across as a single-minded overload on shooting one’s load at any given opportunity,” we wrote in our review of the first season. “Big Mouth explores things other shows – and certainly not cartoons – wouldn’t dare. While some may find its adolescence difficult to connect with at times, it does address key issues we’ve all experienced growing up and therefore has elements virtually everyone can relate to. Branded as an adventure into puberty, it certainly is that. However, Big Mouth is a bit too on-the-nose with its teen mindset.”

Just over a month after its premiere, though, Netflix has already ordered more episodes, with Big Mouth Season 2 set to premiere in 2018. Here’s a video announcing the renewal:
