Big Mouth to end with Season 8
David Farnor | On 26, Apr 2023
Big Mouth will officially end with its eighth season.
Created by Nick Kroll and Andrew Goldberg, the adult animation continues to the growing pains of life into literal monsters with foul mouths and bizarre habits. And so, following the Hormone Monsters, we’ve had the Shame Wizard and Menopause Banshee, not to mention Tito the Anxiety Mosquito, which struck as the kids – including Andrew (John Mulaney), his best friend, Nick (Kroll), Gina (Gina Rodriguez), Missy and Jessi (Jessi Klein) – headed to camp, and more.
Now, it’s time to say goodbye to the hormone monsters, with the show returning for Season 7 this year and Season 8 next year – making it the longest scripted series in Netflix history (excluding Kids and Family programming).
“If you would have told adolescent Nick Kroll and Andrew Goldberg that middle school would take eight years to finish, they would have been like, ‘Yeah, that sounds about right. This seems like it will never end,’” Kroll said in a statement.
It’s far from the end of the relationship between co-creators Kroll, Goldberg, Mark Levin and Jennifer Flackett, though, as their production company Brutus Pink continues to create animated series for Netflix. That includes spin-off Human Resources, which will wrap up in its upcoming Season 2 before tying into Big Mouth’s final season.

5th November 2021
Big Mouth takes on the big concepts this November with its fifth season tackling the line between love and hate.
Created by Nick Kroll and Andrew Goldberg, the adult animation continues to the growing pains of life into literal monsters with foul mouths and bizarre habits. And so, following the Hormone Monsters, we’ve had the Shame Wizard and Menopause Banshee, not to mention Tito the Anxiety Mosquito, which struck as the kids – including Andrew (John Mulaney), his best friend, Nick (Kroll), Gina (Gina Rodriguez), Missy and Jessi (Jessi Klein) – headed to camp.
Now, the show’s returning for a fifth run – with Ayo Edibiri now voicing Missy instead of Jenny Slate – and it’s ready to explore the chaos and growing pains that ensue after the introduction of love bugs and hate worms. You can see them in action on Friday 5th November, when Season 5 premieres on Netflix.
Here’s a trailer:
Big Mouth is available on Netflix UK, as part of an £9.99 monthly subscription.
