Big Mouth, Netflix’s long-running animated comedy, is premiering its eighth and final season next month but its creators have remained busy.
The team behind the Nick Kroll-voiced series are working on Mating Season, a new animated series for the streamer.
The show, which will launch in 2026, is set in the animal world starring 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.
It comes from Kroll, Mark Levin, Jennifer Flackett and Andrew Goldberg, who exec produce alongside Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Antonio Canobbio and Ben Kalina serving as executive producers for animation studio Titmouse.

“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, VP, 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.”
