The creative powerhouse behind the Emmy-nominated Big Mouth is returning to Netflix with a brand-new adult animation, Mating Season, that takes the birds and the bees quite literally.

Mating Season trades middle school hallways for the forest floor, offering a satirical and unapologetic look at relationships through the eyes of various woodland creatures.

By blending the team’s signature “gross-out” humor with a sophisticated look at adult romantic dynamics, the series promises to be more than just a spiritual successor, it’s an evolution into a broader, animalistic brand of comedy.

Set to debut on May 22, the series marks a continued collaboration between Netflix and the Brutus Pink production team. With a cast led by Nick Kroll and Zach Woods, Mating Season aims to capture the same “spring fever” that made their previous work a cultural phenomenon, while pushing the boundaries of what animated romantic comedies can achieve.

For those mourning the end of the Big Mouth era, this upcoming release ensures that the team’s uniquely bold and hilarious creativity remains a staple of the streaming landscape.
