Big Mouth fans are already flocking to Human Resources, the first spinoff from the hit animated Netflix series. The new show launched on March 18 and is a workplace comedy set in the world Big Mouth established. Aidy Bryant, Randall Park, Keke Palmer, David Thewlis, Maya Rudolph, and Nick Kroll lead Human Resources' voice cast.

Since the show was released, Human Resources has held a spot on Netflix's charts. It is now eighth on Netflix's Top 10 TV shows in the U.S. chart. It was also tenth on the overall Top 10 U.S. chart. Human Resources also held the 10th spot on the global Top 10 TV shows, with 16.23 million hours watched from March 21 to 27. The show was ninth on the Top 10 U.S. charts during the same week.

Human Resources was created by Kelly Galuska, Kroll, Andrew Goldberg, Mark Levin, and Jennifer Flackett. The monsters are assigned human adults who represent their feelings. In Big Mouth, which launched in September 2017, Nick Birch (Kroll) and Andrew Glouberman (John Mulaney) are frustrated seventh-graders matched with hormone monsters as shoulder angels.
