From the creators of Big Mouth comes Mating Season, an adult animated romantic comedy – set in the animal world – about love, sex, relationships, and the universal need to find a partner and perpetuate the species – starring bears, raccoons, deer, foxes and a host of other horny, lovable forest critters.
Much like Big Mouth, Mating Season has a pack or horde or whatever group of animals pun that fits your bill of celebrity guest stars across its first season. Who is going to be involved in the raunchy friskiness for the group of bipedal-legged friends — Ray (Nick Kroll), Josh (Zach Woods), Fawn (June Diane Raphael), and Panelope (Sabrina Jalees)?
