Big Mouth continues Netflix’s run of animated adult comedy this November. The series is in season five and they have ten brand new episodes taking on the theme of LOVE & HATE. Here’s the synopsis for season five from Netflix:
Starting with “No Nut November” and continuing through New Years Eve, Big Mouth Season 5 takes on the theme of LOVE & HATE with the introduction of lovebugs and hate worms, amorphous creatures that can shift between the two forms (like caterpillars and butterflies). Nick’s lovebug, WALTER (Brandon Kyle Goodman), pushes Nick to pursue his feelings for Jessi until she publicly rejects him, turning Walter into a hate worm who leads Nick down a dark, rancorous path. Meanwhile, Jessi’s lovebug, SONYA (Pamela Adlon), appears as Jessi gets closer with Ali and eventually wonders if she loves her as more than a friend. Jessi and Ali’s new close bond, and joint co-opting of Missy’s affinity group, sends Missy into her own hate spiral, fueled by hate worm ROCHELLE (Keke Palmer). Jealousy, unrequited love, and newfound crushes abound in this new form-breaking season as the Big Mouth teens navigate 8th grade.
The list of returning cast and guest stars is MASSIVE. It includes: Adam Scott as “Mr. Keating,” Jemaine Clement as “Simon Sex,” Kristen Schaal as “Bernie,” Kumail Nanjiani as “Kumail Nanjiani,” and Chloe Fineman as “Leah.” It was previously announced that Brandon Kyle Goodman (“Walter”), Keke Palmer (“Rochelle”), and Pamela Adlon (“Sonya”) will be guest-starring this season. The three will also appear in the Big Mouth spin-off, Human Resources, and their characters will be introduced in this new season.
This season is sure to be just as hilarious and poignant as the last. Check it out when it releases November 5th on Netflix.
