There Are So Many Celebs In The Big Mouth Season 5 Voice Cast
From Keke Palmer to Adam Scott.
Big Mouth Season 5 will reunite Bridgeton’s horniest teens for even more melodrama and big emotions. The main stars are all set to return for the Netflix animated series, including Nick Kroll as Nick Birch/Maury the Hormone Monster (and more), John Mulaney as Andrew Glouberman, Jessi Klein as Jessi Glaser, Jason Mantzoukas as Jay Bilzerian, Andrew Rannells as Matthew MacDell, and Maya Rudolph as Connie the Hormone Monstress.
Additionally, Ayo Edebiri will reprise her role as Missy Foreman-Greenwald, which she began toward the end of Season 4 after Jenny Slate chose to step down from the role in 2020. “At the start of the show, I reasoned with myself that it was permissible for me to play ‘Missy’ because her mom is Jewish and White — as am I,” Slate wrote in an Instagram post at the time. “But ‘Missy’ is also Black, and Black characters on an animated show should be played by Black people.”
It also appears that Season 5 will further highlight Ali (Ali Wong) — a pansexual student who was first introduced in Season 3 — as well as introduce several new characters. Specifically, it will incorporate new creatures called lovebugs who have the ability to transform into hate worms depending on the kids’ emotional state. This is meant to set up Big Mouth’s upcoming spinoff Human Resources, which will explore the “far more adult” world of the creatures the kids have encountered in the original series — including the Shame Wizard, Depression Kitty, Hormone Monsters, and more.
