Summary

• Big Mouth season 8 will be the last, allowing for a satisfying finale as the characters graduate and move on from middle school.
• The show's creators have signed a three-year deal with Netflix, ensuring they will continue developing and producing animated projects for the streaming service.
• Big Mouth explores a range of topics related to puberty and growing up, and its popularity has led to a spinoff series called Human Resources, focusing on the monster characters.

Netflix dropped all ten episodes of Big Mouth season 7 on October 20, 2023, meaning fans only have one more season to look forward to before it is all over. The adult animated coming-of-age comedy television series was created by Nick Kroll, Andrew Goldberg, Mark Levin, and Jennifer Flackett in 2017. Since then, it has been a popular hit for the streaming service. The show has accumulated eight seasons and more than 71 episodes (a rarity for Netflix nowadays), and it generated a spinoff — Human Resources — which focuses on the monster characters in the Big Mouth universe.

The original series revolves around a group of teenagers in middle school going through puberty and all the awkwardness that comes with being that age. The characters include Nick Birch, Andrew Glouberman, Jessi Glaser, Jay Bilzerian, Missy Foreman-Greenwald, and a plethora of monsters. Big Mouth explores a wide variety of topics, from getting periods to exploring one's sexuality at a young age, and it will all come to an end following the season 8 finale (or the series finale).

Big Mouth Ending With Season 8 Allows For A Satisfying Finale

A few months prior to the Big Mouth season 7 premiere, Netflix announced that it had renewed the adult animated series for an eighth and final season, meaning it had been canceled. Although some were upset with the news, the show ending after season 8 makes sense. Season 7 features the characters graduating from middle school and looking ahead to high school, with the finale focusing on their first day at their new school. They are growing up and growing out of the beginnings of puberty, which is what the show is all about. It's time for them to move on and for Big Mouth to end before it overstays its welcome.

Big Mouth's Creators Are Still Working With Netflix After The Series Ends

Even though the adult animated comedy television series is coming to an end following season 8 (which will premiere at an unknown date), the show's creators will still be working with Netflix. According to Variety, in July 2022, the streaming service announced it had made a three-year deal with Nick Kroll, Andrew Goldberg, Mark Levin, and Jennifer Flackett's production company, Brutus Pink. Under the agreement, the filmmakers would continue developing and producing animated projects for Netflix, at least through 2026. So, even though Big Mouth will cease to exist following the season 8 premiere on the streaming service, fans of the series can look forward to similar content from the creators.
