The half-hour adult animated comedy from real-life best friends Kroll and Goldberg is about the glorious nightmare that is teenaged puberty.

Actress, comedian, and writer Ayo Edebiri has joined the cast of the Netflix animated series Big Mouth.

Netflix's adult animated comedy, co-created by Nick Kroll, Andrew Goldberg, Mark Levin, and Jennifer Flackett, is a wacky and foul-mouthed look at what it's like to go through puberty for a number of teenagers in the suburbs of New York City. One of Netflix’s most successful series, Big Mouth last summer landed the streamer’s biggest renewal: three additional seasons (4, 5 and 6). Ayo Edebiri has been cast as the voice of Missy in Big Mouth after Jenny Slate vacated the role to allow a black actor to voice the character.
