Wild Hearts and Anal Glands: Netflix Teases New Adult Animated Series ‘Mating Season’

Posted on by

Netflix has officially pulled back the curtain on its next adult animated project, Mating Season, with a teaser trailer that leans heavily into the irreverent, high-energy humor fans have come to expect from the platform’s comedy slate.

The teaser is presented through a unique lens: a mock podcast episode of “Gimme Some Maury,” hosted by the iconic Maury the Hormone Monster. In the clip, Maury interviews “Ray Skidski,” a fictionalized creator who introduces the concept of the show while navigating a chaotic, lunch-filled recording session.

Wild Kingdom Meets Modern Dating

The premise of Mating Season takes the complexities of dating and falling in love and transplants them into the animal world. While the show promises to explore themes of friendship and “finding love”, the teaser makes it clear that the execution is anything but “National Geographic.”

The footage showcased in the teaser features a raunchy encounter between a skunk and another animal character, highlighting the show’s willingness to lean into biological humor—specifically involving “anal glands” and “pelts”—to satirize human dating rituals.

A Familiar Creative Spirit

Though the teaser focuses on the interview format, the connection to the Big Mouth universe is palpable. Maury himself describes Big Mouth as the “perfect show” during the segment, and the animation style and comedic timing suggest Mating Season will serve as a spiritual successor or thematic companion to Netflix’s existing adult animation hits.

The trailer strikes a balance between “boobies and tushies” and what the characters describe as the “clitoris of the soul”—a mix of explicit biological comedy and genuine emotional stakes.

With the teaser now live, Mating Season looks to be Netflix’s next big swing in the adult animation space. While a specific release date wasn’t tucked into the podcast banter, the polished look of the footage suggests we won’t have to wait long to see this animal-kingdom take on romance.
