Fans of Rick & Morty and South Park should love Netflix’s new filthy animated comedy show

Coming of age. All over the place.

With all of the great shows on TV right now, without a doubt two of the very best are BoJack Horseman and Rick & Morty, animated comedies with stellar voice casts, tackling plots that most live-action shows wouldn’t dream of approaching in a million years.

Looks like we’re getting another in that catagory, as Netflix are about to launch Big Mouth, which looks set to be quite possibly the filthiest show on TV, which is a big thing to say considering that South Park still exists…

Dealing with the physical horror show that is arriving at puberty, which in this case includes both a Hormone Monster for the boys (voiced by Nick Kroll, who also voices the fictional teenage version of himself) and a Hormone Monstress for the girls (voice by Bridesmaids star Maya Rudolph).

The rest of the voice cast is a very impressive line-up of some very funny people: John Mulaney, Jenni Slate, Jason Mantzoukas, Jessi Klein, Fred Armisen, Jordan Peele and Kat Dennings, amongst others.

All ten episodes of the first season will be available to view on Netflix from Friday 29 September.
