It’s about time to grow up: the final season of Big Mouth is almost upon us. On Thursday, Netflix announced the premiere date for the eighth and final season, which will begin streaming on May 23. In the words of Taylor Swift, the kids’ coming of age has nearly come and gone, but there’s a few more adventures to be had before they’re done with puberty. In celebration of the upcoming episodes, Netflix has shared some Big Mouth first look images (below), as well as new details on the final installment.
“In the eighth and final season of Big Mouth, our beloved Bridgeton teens tackle new challenges as high schoolers such as: driving, drugs, sexual inexperience, enthusiastic consent, porn and the teenage mind, cancel culture, their changing bodies, and (in the end) fear of the looming future,” reads a synopsis from Netflix. “Through it all, friendship is the cornerstone for surviving this time of life – whether one’s puberty is just beginning, like for Nick who gets his first growth spurt, or near its conclusion, like for a maturing (and prematurely balding) Andrew. At the height of the season, when many of our characters are in crisis, Compassion (personified as a new creature voiced by Holly Hunter), emerges as a crucial way forward. Ultimately, though, this season is about the importance of sticking by and supporting your friends, especially when life gets overwhelming and messy. In the end, our kids step into the harrowing unknown of the future, made less afraid of what’s to come because they have each other.”
The Big Mouth first look images promise more gross and goofy situations on the series co-created by Nick Kroll and Andrew Goldberg. In addition to the regular voice cast, which includes John Mulaney, Ayo Edebiri, Maya Rudolph, and Jordan Peele, the show has a typically stacked list of guest stars for the final season. New additions include Hunter, Oscar nominee Cynthia Erivo, and Steve Buscemi, plus many more returning to reprise their roles one last time. You can check out the new images below, which helpfully includes a real-life recreation of their characters’ dancing poses from Kroll and Mulaney.
