Netflix has announced a three-year renewal of its existing content deal with Brutus Pink, the production company behind Big Mouth and its spinoff Human Resources.

Details:

  • The extended agreement will run through 2026 and will see Brutus Pink develop and produce new animated projects for the streamer. Notably, Netflix pointed out that the production outfit will venture into feature animation, explaining that Brutus Pink “will create a variety of animated projects in both film and television that are adult, funny, and emotional.”
  • Big Mouth has been one of Netflix’s most successful ventures into the adult animation space. Praised by critics and fans alike, the series has been nominated for seven Primetime Emmys, with voice actor Maya Rudolph winning two. The series will return this fall for its sixth season.
  • Big Mouth Spinoff Human Resources premiered in March of this year and Netflix ordered a second season in April. Season two is scheduled to hit the platform sometime next year.
  • Brutus Pink’s Mark Levin said: “Brutus Pink is thrilled to be continuing at Netflix, which has been our creative home for seven years. We’re hopeful this means we get to keep the Con Air DVD that’s been sitting on Nick’s coffee table in a red envelope since 2006.”
  • Netflix VP of animated series John Derderian added: “Since signing our first deal with Brutus Pink, Big Mouth has grown from a fan favorite to one of the most beloved animated franchises across the globe. We know we’re in excellent hands with the team at Brutus Pink and can’t wait to see them create the next generation of hit animated series.”
