Netflix announced today that Season 6 of Big Mouth, the fan beloved, critically-acclaimed and Emmy-winning adult animated comedy about the glorious nightmare that is puberty, will premiere October 28.
The streamer also announced that series co-creator and voice star Nick Kroll will make his Netflix stand-up special debut with Nick Kroll: Little Big Boy, which will warm audiences up for the return of the hormone monsters with a global September 27 premiere.
Filmed at the Warner Theatre in Washington DC, Kroll shows a bit of his vulnerable side in Little Big Boy as he talks getting his heart broken for the first time at the ripe age of 33, the power of mothers, his journey to fatherhood, the trick to farting without making any noise … and much more. The special is executive produced by Kroll, John Irwin, Casey Spira and Christie Smith, directed by Bill Benz.
Inspired by Kroll and Andrew Goldberg’s childhood, Big Mouth follows a group of friends and their hormone monsters as they navigate adolescence, human sexuality, and coming of age. Season six focuses on the theme of family as the beloved characters continue each of their journeys, discovering that while you can’t always pick your family, you can surround yourself with those that love you for who you are.
The series is co-created and executive produced by Kroll, Goldberg, Jennifer Flackett and Mark Levin under their Brutus Pink animation production banner, which recently extended its content deal with Netflix. The crew is also responsible for the Big Mouth spinoff Human Resources; the series have been renewed for a seventh and second season, respectively.
