Netflix’s Mating Season Debuts a Raunchy Animal Comedy From the Big Mouth Team

The series uses anthropomorphic animals to probe adult dating and has drawn attention for a David Attenborough–style parody.

Overview

  • All 10 episodes of Mating Season launched on Netflix on May 22, 2026, making the full first season available to stream immediately.
  • The show was created and executive produced by Nick Kroll, Andrew Goldberg, Mark Levin, and Jen Flackett and features principal voices from Kroll, Zach Woods, June Diane Raphael, and Sabrina Jalees.
  • Critics praise the character work, voice performances, and star-studded guest roster while noting the series’ tone and crude humor are closely aligned with the creators’ prior series Big Mouth.
  • Several outlets highlighted a parody of David Attenborough–style nature narration that drew particular attention in the U.K. because it appeared days after Attenborough’s 100th birthday.
  • Produced with partners Titmouse and Brutus Pink, the series uses animal characters to allow more explicit comedy, a choice that has boosted its shock value but also raised questions about originality compared with previous adult animated hits.
