Is Big Mouth based on Nick Kroll’s life?

Big Mouth is a Netflix original animation coming-of-age sitcom created by Andrew Goldberg, Nick Kroll, Mark Levin, and Jennifer Flackett.

Big Mouth was inspired by Kroll’s and Andrew Goldberg’s childhood experiences. Big Mouth delves into puberty while being candid about the human body and sex.

The series is based on embarrassing real-life stories. According to Kroll, he was a “late bloomer” who was “pantsed” in front of his childhood crush, a real-life event depicted in Big Mouth.

Kroll also revealed that a female friend, like Jessi in the episode “Everyone Bleeds,” had her first period while visiting the Statue of Liberty.

The first season, which consisted of ten episodes, debuted on Netflix on September 29, 2017, and the second season debuted on October 5, 2018.

The third season began with a Valentine’s Day special episode on February 8, 2019, followed by the rest of the season on October 4, 2019.

Netflix renewed the series for a sixth season in July 2019. The sixth season will begin on October 28, 2022. In April 2022, a seventh season was ordered.

The series received critical acclaim upon its initial release, with praise going to the writing, animation, voice acting, musical numbers, humor, and encouraging messages of acceptance.
