Trailer: Season 5 of ‘Big Mouth’ is full of love and hate and a jacked Kumail Nanjiani
“I just eat cookies and talk shit”
Netflix has released the first trailer for season 5 of their Emmy-winning adult animated hit Big Mouth, which lands in November.
Starting with “No Nut November” and continuing through New Years Eve, Big Mouth Season 5 takes on the theme of LOVE & HATE with the introduction of lovebugs and hate worms, amorphous creatures that can shift between the two forms (like caterpillars and butterflies). Nick’s lovebug, Walter (Brandon Kyle Goodman), pushes Nick to pursue his feelings for Jessi until she publicly rejects him, turning Walter into a hate worm who leads Nick down a dark, rancorous path. Meanwhile, Jessi’s lovebug, Sonya (Pamela Adlon), appears as Jessi gets closer with Ali and eventually wonders if she loves her as more than a friend. Jessi and Ali’s new close bond, and joint co-opting of Missy’s affinity group, sends Missy into her own hate spiral, fueled by hate worm Rochelle (Keke Palmer). Jealousy, unrequited love, and newfound crushes abound in this new form-breaking season as the Big Mouth teens navigate 8th grade.
There’s also a sneak peek at a muppet and stop motion animated Christmas special that’s sure to raise the temperature on a cold December night.
Nick Kroll, John Mulaney, Jessi Klein, Jason Mantzoukas, Ayo Edebiri, Maya Rudolph, Fred Armisen, and Jordan Peele are joined by a host of new guest stars this season: Adam Scott as “Mr. Keating,” Jemaine Clement as “Simon Sex,” Kristen Schaal as “Bernie,” Kumail Nanjiani as “Kumail Nanjiani,” and Chloe Fineman as “Leah.” It was previously announced that Brandon Kyle Goodman (“Walter”), Keke Palmer (“Rochelle”), and Pamela Adlon (“Sonya”) will be guest-starring this season.
The returning cast includes Ali Wong, Andrew Rannells, Chelsea Peretti, David Thewlis, Gary Cole, Gina Rodriguez, Jak Knight, Jean Smart, Joel Kim Booster, Jon Daly, June Diane Raphael, Kristen Wiig, Lena Waithe, Maria Bamford, Mark Duplass, Natasha Lyonne, Nathan Fillion, Paula Pell, Quinta Brunson, Richard Kind, Rosa Salazar, Seth Morris, Thandiwe Newton, Zach Galifianakis and Zachary Quinto.
