New animated series from creators of Big Mouth in development at Netflix

Big Mouth will be kicking off its eighth and final season next month, but the creators have been even busier. There's also a new animated series coming up, titled Mating Season. From the team behind the Nick Kroll-voiced animated series Big Mouth comes a new animated series in 2026: Mating Season. Set in the animal kingdom, the series stars a cast of bears, raccoons, deer, foxes, and a host of other horny, affectionate woodland creatures as they explore love, sexual relationships, and the universal need for sex and finding a mate.

It comes from Kroll, Mark Levin, Jennifer Flackett and Andrew Goldberg, who serve as executive producers for animation studio Titmouse, along with Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Antonio Canobbio and Ben Kalina.

Big Mouth, which debuted in 2017, has amassed 375 million views over its seven seasons, according to Netflix. Season eight premieres on Friday, May 23.

The series featured voice work from Maya Rudolph, Cynthia Erivo, Megan thee Stallion, Hugh Jackman, Jon Hamm, Kristen Wiig, Zach Galifianakis, Seth Rogen, Martin Short, Kristen Bell, Wanda Sykes, Tyler the Creator, Jeff Goldblum, Ira Glass, Steve Buscemi, Billy Porter, Padma Lakshmi, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, and Jean Smart, among others.

The voice cast for Mating Season has not yet been announced.

“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.”
