‘Big Mouth’ is an animated adult sitcom that is available for streaming from Netflix. The first season consisted of 10 episodes, and it premiered on September 29, 2017. On October 5, 2018, the second season was released and consisted of 11 episodes. A third season was announced in November 2018, and there has also been a Valentine’s day special. The series is created by Nick Kroll, Mark Levin, Andrew Goldberg, and Jennifer Flackett. The series is based on a fictionalized version of Kroll and Goldberg’s upbringing and features teen characters. According to Slash Film, Netflix has recently announced that this animated series has been renewed for a further three seasons, which will total six seasons.
This is an unusual move for the streaming service as they usually only renew a series for one or two seasons. The fact that they have renewed this series for three seasons shows that they are confident it will maintain its popularity. The four creators of the raunchy animated series have recently joined forces and founded their own production company called Brutus Pink. One of the first things they have done together as a production company is to sign a multi-year deal with Netflix. This deal involves them creating even more TV shows and movies for the streaming service. Netflix used its Twitter feed to make the announcement about the deal. They also made an official press release about the renewal of ‘Big Mouth’.
Signing a deal with Netflix is just the latest in a series of exciting events for Kroll, Levin, Goldberg, and Flackett. They recently attended the Just for Laughs Event in Montreal, Canada. This is a comedy festival that celebrates up and coming talent in many sectors of comedy, including improv, stand-up, and sketch comedy. Brutus Pink were winners of the prestigious award for the comedy writers of the year. The team has also received an abundance of praise from well-respected sources, including from Mike Moon, the head of adult animation for Netflix. Moon has said that ‘Big Mouth’ is brilliant because of the way in which it captures the teen years, which are often the most awkward phases in a person’s life. He describes the animation as both heartwarming and hilarious.
Moon also spoke of the Netflix team’s excitement at being able to continue having a working relationship with Brutus Pink in the future. He sees working with them as a positive as it will allow Netflix to feature many more stories and humor from Brutus Pink in the future. Moon also promised that the collaboration would continue to bring hormones to Netflix’s members. Brutus Pink is also thrilled with the deal and has said that the streaming service has given them the best creative experience imaginable. They have said that together, they have been able to build a fantastic team of talented artists, writer, actors, and producers.
So, what is so appealing about ‘Big Mouth‘ that has encouraged Netflix that it is worth renewing for three seasons? Many who have seen this show would argue that it is the relatable content. Everyone goes through puberty, so all the viewers can relate to the experiences of the characters. Similarly, all the themes and topics in the series are relatable. Some of the topics covered include sexuality, family relationships, and friendships. These are all topics that relate to everyone, so this makes the series easy watching.
The amazing voice talents of Nick Kroll is another reason that people stream this animation. It is hard to believe from watching this series that Kroll provides the voices for no less than seven of the main characters in the series, along with voices of one-off characters. The characters for which he provides the voice include Nick Birch, Maurice the Hormone Monster, Coach Steve, Rick the Hormone Monster, Kroll, and The Jansen Twins. Some of the voices he has provided for the smaller parts include the voices of the Statue of Liberty, Sylvester Stallone, Richard Burton, the ghost of Picasso, and a webcam girl.
There are many other well-known and talented voice actors attached to the series that also add to the appeal of this series. Some of these include John Mulaney, Jessi Klein, Jason Mantzoukas, Jenny Slate, Fred Armisen, Maya Rudolph, and Jordan Peele. The series has not only been a big hit with the viewers, but it has also received critical acclaim. This is evident when looking at review sites. For example, ‘Big Mouth has a rating of 100 percent for both season one and season two of the series on Rotten Tomatoes. The ratings are almost as good on Metacritic, which gives the series a rating of 80 out of 100.
Critics have written many positive reviews about this animated series. Erik Adams wrote a review on behalf of The A.V. Club and praised both the cast and the experimentation of the series. He gave it an overall rating of A-. ‘Big Mouth’ was described by Vox as being sharp and jarring in its coverage of the period around puberty. According to Variety, Netflix has made the announcement of the renewal of Big Mouth and the deal with Brutus Pink at the same time as canceling another series. After just one season, they have pulled the plug on ‘Tuca and Bertie’, another adult animated comedy.
However, the fact that ‘Tuca and Bertie’ has been canceled does not mean that ‘Big Mouth’ is the only animated comedy that Netflix members have available to them. Other adult animated comedies that are currently available on Netflix include ‘F is for Family’, ‘BoJack Horseman’, ‘Trailer Boys: The Animated Series’, and ‘Disenchantment’. When season four of ‘Big Mouth’ will premiere on Netflix has not yet been announced. However, fans of the series can rejoice in the news of the comedy’s renewal and they probably will not have too long to wait before it is available for streaming. Fans can also look forward to more work from Brutus Pink, which Netflix will include in their schedule in the near future.
