Netflix renews 'Big Mouth' for three more seasons

July 27 (UPI) -- Netflix has renewed its raunchy animated comedy Big Mouth for three additional seasons.

"BIG MOUTH HAS BEEN PICKED UP FOR 3 MORE SEASONS!!! Thank you to our writers, cast, crew, Netflix and everyone around the world who watches the show!" show creator and voice actor Nick Kroll tweeted Friday.

Season 3 was announced in November and is scheduled to begin streaming this fall. The 10 new episodes will feature characters voiced by John Mulaney, Nick Kroll, Maya Rudolph, Jason Mantzoukas, Jordan Peele, Fred Armisen, Jenny Slate and Jessi Klein.

"Big Mouth brilliantly captures the most awkward phase in a person's life, puberty, in a hilarious yet heartwarming way," Mike Moon, head of adult animation for Netflix, said in a press release announcing the order of Seasons 4, 5 and 6. "We couldn't be more excited to continue our relationship with (production company) Brutus Pink and bring more stories, more humor, and more hormones to Netflix members around the world."

Kroll, Andrew Goldberg and screenwriter-directors Mark Levin and Jennifer Flackett are the creators and executive producers on the series. The show was nominated for the Best Animated Series Emmy Award earlier this month.
