Think mega pop stars and Emmy-winning actors … yes, the Nick Kroll-created Netflix series about hormone monsters has pulled out all the stops.

Season 2 of the Big Mouth spinoff follows lovebug Emmy (Aidy Bryant) and logic rock Pete (Randall Park) on their journeys to discover the differences between sex and love. We also see Maury (Nick Kroll) and Connie’s (Maya Rudolph) child, Montel (Cole Escola), embrace their true passion after mentorship from none other than the evil Shame Wizard (David Thewlis). But who are all the new voices in the Season 2 Human Resources cast?
