Popular Netflix comedy returning for final season next year – breaking records as their longest-running original show
A FAN favourite Netflix comedy is coming back to screens next year, but this season will be its last.
Big Mouth will become the streamer’s longest-running original show with its eighth series, and show bosses have made the decision to quit while they’re ahead.
The Netflix animated series is a coming-of-age sitcom created and written by Family Guy’s Andrew Goldberg alongside Nick Kroll, Mark Levin, and Jennifer Flackett.
It follows a group of school-aged children and their ‘hormone monsters’ as they navigate their way through the struggles of adolescence.
The show has been running since 2017 and received a mixture of adoration and backlash over that time.
Some have praised its frank portrayal of puberty, while others slammed it as “borderline paedophilia”.
For those debating whether or not to tune in for the final installment, here is a sneak peak into what each of the characters will be experiencing as the series comes to a close.
The last season saw Nick grafting his way out of his private school’s “sad boys club”.
He managed to make a friends with a fellow club member and it seemed like things were turning around.
However, he will soon be faced by a new dilemma as one of his old friends – also named Andrew – makes a reappearance.
Nick will have to dispel any rivalry between the Andrews as he risks losing both mates and ending up back in Mrs Cornhill’s club for loners.
Meanwhile Missy won’t need to worry about the trials and tribulations of high school at all as her parents finally agreed to homeschool her.
But will it be everything she hoped, or will the girl start regretting missing her chance to meet new boys in the neighbourhood?
Matthew is the only cast member who seemed to be thriving at Bridgeton High, as he found new acceptance for his queer identity when he joined the school’s gay choir.
Maybe this season he will even harmonise his way into a relationship with his first ever boyfriend.
Speaking about the ending of the series, show star and executive producer Nick Kroll jokingly admitted he thought it would never end.
He said: “If you would have told adolescent Nick Kroll and Andrew Goldberg that middle school would take eight years to finish, they would have been like ‘yeah, that sounds about right. this seems like it will never end’.”
