Netflix's Big Mouth has been confirmed for an eighth season, which will also be the show's last.
The hit animation, which follows the trials of puberty among a group of teenagers and their 'hormone monsters', has run since 2017 – and recently produced spin-off series Human Resources.
It has now been confirmed ahead of the seventh season that the follow-up (premiering in 2024) will mark the end of the show, while Human Resources has also been confirmed to be ending with its second season, Deadline reports.

“If you would have told adolescent Nick Kroll and Andrew Goldberg that middle school would take eight years to finish, they would have been like, ‘Yeah, that sounds about right',” co-creator and star Nick Kroll said. “This seems like it will never end.”
“Big Mouth is a towering achievement in animated comedy that will make Netflix history for its longevity,” added Billy Wee, Netflix’s director of adult animation.

With its eighth season, Big Mouth will make history as Netflix's longest-running scripted original series (bar Kids & Family programming).
Last November, Kroll addressed the show's future, telling The AV Club: "We think we still have an incredible amount of stories to tell. There’s so much to say about puberty; it’s not a limited amount of material.
"You have to find your way into it, and how it will provide us with an element of things that we haven’t previously had access to. For us, it’s trying to find a new way in. It’s ultimately not up to us. It’s up to Netflix."
Big Mouth seasons 1-6 and Human Resources season 1 are available to stream on Netflix now.
