'Big Mouth' Season 7: What to Expect

Quick Links

As millennials age into their 30s, the entertainment industry has learned that cartoons are not just for kids. And while the struggles of childhood are the focus of this coming-of-age comedy series, many of Big Mouth’s jokes are wonderfully anything but. With its lyrically strange original songs and relatable disasters, the series takes the embarrassing and painful struggles of adolescents and pairs it with a frankness regarding body parts, and a focus on communication and inclusivity. And that's not to mention some mildly disturbing visuals while learning what happens if you try to hold your feelings in like your shit. Big Mouth, with its trove of spectacularly vulgar educational and heartfelt lessons, has been renewed for a seventh season. So, if you’re looking to learn a thing or two about life, love, the plot, the cast, and more, check out our easy-to-follow guide below.

How Many Episodes Does 'Big Mouth' Season 7 Have?

Big Mouth Season 7 has a total of ten episodes, all released on the same day. Historically, the brash series has always had ten episodes per season, though Season 3 included an additional episode in the form of a Valentine's Day special, which followed the students and staff of Bridgeton Middle School through the day of the Val, and the cliché struggles of young love.

What's the Plot of 'Big Mouth' Season 7 About?

Here's the official synopsis for Season 7:

Season seven of Big Mouth follows the now teenage students of Bridgeton middle school as they make their way to high school. Change is the only constant as each character is faced with a new school, new friends, new adversaries, and new Hormone Monsters.

Every season of the comedy series has tackled bigger and more complex topics. Comparatively, Season 1 started the series off rather mildly, with episodes focussing on first menstrual periods, pubes, porn, and sexual orientation. Since then, the series has evolved alongside its characters, who, in six seasons, have dealt with vagina shame, depression, a-sexuality, racial identity, and maybe even true love… maybe. Season 7 steps up to tackle even greater emotional, social, and sexual hurdles as the kids face the biggest change of their lives yet: high school.

Who Are the Guest Cast Members in 'Big Mouth' Season 7?

The guest stars of Big Mouth are always a delight and Season 7 is no different. Every season of Big Mouth brings in a new round of unexpected comedians, actors, and musicians, averaging over 15 per season. Megan Thee Stallion (Dicks: The Musical) joins the voice-cast as a new Hormone Monstress. Other guest stars who make appearances in the new season include Academy Award winner Lupita Nyong'o (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever), Padma Lakshmi (Taste the Nation), Zazie Beetz (Joker), Emmy winner Billy Porter (Pose), Stephanie Beatriz (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan (Never Have I Ever). Hamilton's Lin-Manuel Miranda has also contributed to the new season, writing an original song for one of the episodes.

Who Are the Creators of 'Big Mouth'?

The series was created by Jennifer Flackett, Mark Levin, Nick Kroll, and Andrew Goldberg. Kroll not only voices many of the show's characters, but based much of the series on his own childhood, and real-life friendship with co-creator Andrew Goldberg, who is the inspiration for the lead character Andrew Glouberman. The stories of animated Nick and Andrew are based on the real-life childhood friendship of the two, who were best friends in middle school. In seventh grade, the two attended sleepaway camp together, much like their animated counterparts. While the story of Andrew and another camper becoming close friends is true, Kroll has yet to confirm if any of the messier parts of that story come from any real-life inspiration.

Series co-creators Jennifer Flackett and Mark Levin are a married couple and have worked together as writers, producers, and co-directors on a number of projects, including Nim’s Island, Journey to the Center of the Earth, and most recently The Adam Project, which stars Ryan Reynolds as a time traveler who must team up with his childhood self to save the future. The series is directed by Kim Arndt and Bob Suarez, who have worked together on a number of animated projects, including Solar Opposites and Star Trek: Lower Decks.

Who Are the Returning Cast Members in 'Big Mouth' Season 7?

Responsible for the voices of many of the show's most prominent characters, Nick Kroll returns as Nick Birch, Maury the Hormone Monster, Rick the Hormone Monster, Coach Steve, Lola Skumpy, and more. Kroll is able to showcase the range of his voice acting, to which he is no stranger, having previously voiced characters in Sausage Party, The Addams Family (2019, and its 2021 sequel), Bob’s Burgers, Sing, and the Big Mouth spin-off series Human Resources. John Mulaney returns to voice the mildly depraved lead character Andrew Glouberman. Mulaney is perhaps best known for his stand-up work and most recently released a special titled Baby J, which details his struggles with addiction. Mulaney and Kroll have known each other since college, when the two worked together on their Broadway play “Oh, Hello”, which was later released as a special on Netflix.

Jessi Klein reprises her role as Jessi Glaser, a teen girl with a tumultuous home life and a case of vagina shame. Klein not only voices the character but previously worked as a producer of the show as well. Klein is mostly known for her work as a producer on such series as Inside Amy Schumer and Dead to Me. Ayo Edebiri returns to voice Missy, a black character who was previously voiced by comedian Jenny Slate, who stepped down from the role in 2020. Slate later took on the role of Kaitlyn Grafton, the young girlfriend of Jessi’s dad and mother to her new sibling. With Edebiri in the role of Missy, the character has been able to discover more about her racial identity, while jokes are made briefly about why the character's voice changed.

Jason Mantzoukas is back as the mystical, the magical, the King of Horny, Jay Bilzerian. Jay is much like a 40-year-old magician trapped in the body of an emotionally immature, and deeply neglected teenager. Mantzoukas, who voices the balls-out wolf-boy, has done significant voice acting work, bringing characters to life in projects such as Solar Opposites, American Dad!, and The Lego Batman Movie. Although, fans may recognize him from his guest appearances in series such as Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Parks and Recreation, and more. Beloved comedian Fred Armisen returns to voice Elliot Birch, aka Soft Daddy. In Season 6, audiences saw a different side of this normally open-minded character, when he got back in touch with his Scottish roots and Soft Daddy became cut-throat nipple-twisting Hard Daddy.

Maya Rudolph once again voices loving mother Diane Birch and the voluptuous and illustrious Connie the Hormone Monster. Rudolph has made a name for herself in comedy, with 20 years of appearances on Saturday Night Live, and roles in hit comedies such as Bridesmaids. Rudolph not only voices her hormone monster character in Big Mouth but in the Human Resources spin-off as well. Comedy actor and horror director Jordan Peele makes his return as the Ghost of Duke Ellington. Duke Ellington’s ghost is a source of wisdom to the children that make their way to the Birch family attic. Peele, who brings the soulful character to life, was known in the comedy world for his sketch series Key and Peele, before rising to fame as the man behind some of the most mind-bending horror films in recent years, including Nope, Get Out, and Us. Apart from these cast members, audiences also get to see the return of Andrew Rannells (A Simple Favor) as Matthew MacDell, Richard Kind (Argo) and Paula Pell (Inside Out) as Marty and Barbara Glouberman, and Seth Morris (Cedar Rapids) as Jessi’s absentee father Greg Glaser.
