‘Big Mouth’ Spin-Off ‘Human Resources’ Coming From Nick Kroll And Netflix
Netflix has already given the raunchy, hormone-fueled animated comedy seriesBig Mouthan order for three more seasons following the third season, which debuts today. But during the show’s panels at New York Comic-Con, another expansion was announced.
Big Mouthco-creator, executive producer and starNick Krollannounced a new spin-off series calledHuman Resources, which will focus on the office that employs and keeps track of the various hormone monsters that are paired off with kids during their pubescent adventures.
The human resources department inBig Mouthwas first introduced in an episode during the second season when the kids crossed over into the hormone monster world. Nick (the character voiced by Kroll) wanted a different hormone monster, and they went looking for one. Here’s a clip from the episode:
But that was just a tease of what’s to come. At NYCC, Kroll revealed (viaIndieWire):
“There was a question earlier about Monster World, and if we’re going to do more of that, and we’re actually going to do a lot more than that. It’s a workplace comedy that takes place in the world of the monsters […] about the monsters and creatures and everything else that manages people.”
This teaser was also played during the panel and then released online byNetflix:
It’s simply a teaser announcing the series, but this does give us some idea of what the series will be about. The color scheme of that hormone monster makes me think that’sMaya Rudolph’s character, the hormone monstress named Connie, who is currently Nick’s hormone companion. Could Human Resources be a prequel series follow Connie as she takes her first job as a hormone monstress?
No matter what the series is about, it sounds like fans might be waiting a little while to seeHuman Resourcescome together at Netflix. Kroll said they plan on making Human Resources after they finish the fifth season ofBig Mouth. Even if they’re already working on the fourth season, we’re probably looking at a couple of years before we see the spin-off hit the streaming library.
The good news is that the world ofBig Mouthwill keep expanding before that. During the NYCC panel, it was revealed that Jenny Slate’s character Missy would be getting her own hormone monster this season, and she’ll be voiced by Thandie Newton of Westworld. I can’t wait to see that.
