From the brilliantly chaotic minds behind Big Mouth comes Mating Season, Netflix’s new adult animated romantic comedy that swaps suburban awkwardness for the untamed drama of the animal kingdom.
Mating Season explores love, sex, relationships, heartbreak, and the primal urge to find companionship through a cast of lovable and unpredictable forest creatures. Bears, raccoons, deer, foxes, and countless other hilariously horny critters dive headfirst into the messy world of matters of the heart and survival, creating a series that feels equal parts absurd, clever, and strangely relatable.
The series fully embraces the sharp comedy fans have come to expect from the creators of Big Mouth, delivering nonstop laughs through outrageous situations and brilliantly awkward romantic encounters. Beneath the raunchy humor and wild animal antics is a surprisingly sharp exploration of connection, vulnerability, and the messy realities of modern relationships. Only this time, those relationship struggles are happening in the middle of the forest.
If Big Mouth proved that animated comedy could tackle human intimacy in bold new ways, Mating Season proves the animal kingdom is just as emotionally dysfunctional and infinitely entertaining.
All ten episodes of Mating Season are streaming now on Netflix.
