Fans of Big Mouth will have to wait a little longer to meet the new characters of Human Resources which includes ambition gremlins, logic rocks, addiction angels. The series premieres on March 18. Nevertheless, the streamer has released a longer trailer for the Big Mouth spin-off. Human Resources is being hailed as the adult office comedy series which will retain its irreverent comedy style. The characters are still as foul-mouthed as ever. Big Mouth fans won’t have a problem settling in this expanded universe of the show.

Raunchy comedy at its best, but Human Resources will be slightly different from its predecessor. Unlike Big Mouth, which mainly focused on junior high students, Human Resources will be centered around the adult characters. The former portrayed the trials and tribulations of puberty. With the latter, showrunner Kelly Galuska wants to portray the life stages of humans.

Big Mouth didn’t give enough scope to the creators to introduce themes like death or dementia. Very real issues that a lot of us are struggling with. “I’d also always been interested in doing stuff about death on the show as well. Using those as sort of our bookends made a lot of sense,” she said.

We like to think of this show as being from birth until death. You get the creatures that help you through life the moment you’re born, and you have them until you’re not on the planet anymore.

“It was pretty intentional to tell more adult stories that we were clamoring for in Big Mouth, but didn’t quite have the opportunity to do.”
