'Big Mouth' Season 3 Release Date, Trailer, and More for the Filthy Cartoon

Everyone’s favorite raunchy Netflix cartoon about kids going through puberty will soon return to the streaming platform around the same time it did in the last two years. Big Mouth Season 2 got even crazier than the first, but now that’s over and the memories of the Valentine’s Day special are fading fast, it’s time we all look forward to the Big Mouth Season 3 release date.

The series best known for turning uncomfortable concepts like hormones, shame, and depression into fantastical creatures stars Nick Kroll along with an all-star voice acting team (John Mulaney, Jenny Slate, Jordan Peele, Jason Mantzoukas, Maya Rudolph). It’s also one of the funniest shows around.

Here’s everything we know about Big Mouth Season 3 (and beyond), from potential release dates or trailer news to what you should expect from the plot.

Is Big Mouth Confirmed for a Season 3?

Yes! On November 18, Netflix confirmed that Big Mouth Season 3 is coming to the streaming service sometime in 2019. That doesn’t come as a huge surprise considering the overwhelmingly positive reception the show’s first two seasons received.

Will Big Mouth Get Canceled After Season 3?

Nope! In a surprise announcement, Nick Kroll revealed that Netflix had picked up his series through Season 6. That means you can expect to keep watching Big Mouth well into the 2020s, though it does seem to be an eventual end date in our sights.

When is the ‘Big Mouth’ Season 3 Release Date?

Back in February, after Netflix released a Valentine’s Day special, we predicted that Season 3 would arrive in late September or early October of 2019. In late August, Netflix confirmed that Big Mouth Season 3 would be released October 4, 2019.

Season 1 released on September 29, 2017, with the second season arriving on October 5, 2018 so it comes as no surprise that the release date would be October 4.

Is There a Big Mouth Season 3 Trailer?

Yes! On September 17, Netflix released the Big Mouth Season 3 trailer.

The trailer briefly introduces an exciting new Hormone Monster for Missy, but by far the most shocking addition to the new season is a crossover with Queer Eye as the Fab 5 gives Coach Steve a makeover. (How’s that from some cross-promotional Netflix synergy?)

Toxic masculinity becomes a focus in Season 3 as the hormones rage and the Hormone Monsters thrives. The boys make “lists of all the hottest girls in the grade” categorized by “Body,” “Face,” and other facets that shallow, horny teenage boys often focus on. As Matthew points out on his school news broadcast, “The girls are fucking pissed!”

Most of the kids now seem more concerned about losing their virginity, so they’re definitely showing signs of reaching more mature points in their development. Is it a good or a bad thing that they have Hormone Monsters urging them on at every turn? We’ll find out when the third season hits Netflix.

Big Mouth Had a 2019 Valentine’s Day Special

Netflix announced on February 1 with a trailer that Big Mouth would get a surprise Valentine’s Day special on February 8, 2019 called “My Furry Valentine.”

The title is an obvious riff on the Frank Sinatra song, “My Funny Valentine,” but it replaces the word “Funny” with “Furry” in a kind of double entendre. Not only are the Hormone Monsters literally furry creatures, but they also resemble humanoid fursonas at the very heart of real-life furry culture.

Rather than focus on the usual main characters like Nick, Andrew, Jay, Missy, and Jessi, “My Furry Valentine” took some time focusing on Matthew, the only openly gay kid in the series. Through this, the episode explores what it’s like to be the other during a holiday that oftentimes puts an emphasis on heterosexual norms.

The episode also does interesting things with its storytelling structure, offering little interviews with the kids and their hormone monsters a la When Harry Met Sally. (They even recreate the infamous fake orgasm scene from the movie.)

In short, it’s peak Big Mouth and we can’t wait for more.

What Happened at the End of Big Mouth Season 2?

In “The Department of Puberty,” Nick, Andrew, and Jessi went through a portal left by Nick’s former Hormone Monster Tyler and into the world of Human Resources, where all the Hormone Monsters come from. As it turns out, there’s a whole lot of office bureaucracy going on there.

We see an office meeting regarding Jessi’s future in which her D. N. Ape, Hormone Monstress, Intellect Sphinx, Ambition Gremlin, and Anxiety Armadillo all debate how her life’s going to go — before the Depression Kitty swoops in. After Jessi’s rescued from the feline, she decides that she needs therapy.

While in this other world, Nick hunts for a new Hormone Monster and almost signs up with Gavin, a dude-guy-bro who’s so intense even Maury doesn’t like him. Meanwhile, Andrew realizes that nobody likes the Shame Wizard and comes to relate to him in a weird way. After the three kids make it out, it’s business as usual — growing up with weird demons stalking them.

Meanwhile, out in the real world, Jay discovers and accepts his bisexuality. Coach Steve also gets fired for what happened during the overnight sleepover when all the kids trashed the school, but the biggest revelation comes at the very end when we find out that Connie (Jessie’s Hormone Monster) will take over Nick’s puberty as well.

What happens when a teenage boy has a female Hormone Monster? How Will Jessi handle therapy? Will Andrew ever stop being so awkward and gross? Hopefully, we’ll find out in Big Mouth Season 3.

What Will Happen in Big Mouth Season 3?

We still don’t know anything official about the next season of Big Mouth but one of Season 2’s final scenes could have big ramifications for the show’s main character, Nick.

As you probably remember, Nick needs another new hormone monster at the end of Season 2, and in a surprise twist he ends up with Connie the Hormone Monstress instead. In the moment, this seems to be a good thing, but as fans have pointed out, it’s not quite that simple.

As one redditor noted, Connie has pretty much been a bad influence since Season 1. One of the first things she does is tell Jessi to shoplift, and that’s exactly what happens in Season 2. So will this hormone monstress send Nick down the same path in Season 3? Maybe not…

Another Big Mouth fan argued for a completely different Connie-related outcome on Reddit. They speculate that the reason Nick’s dad is such a well-adjusted man who’s in touch with his own emotions is because Connie was his hormone monstress too.

In that case, Nick may actually be in luck. Thanks to Connie, he could escape the toxic masculinity we see in most of Big Mouth’s adult men, and instead turn out like his progressive (if a little weird) father.
