Netflix’s *Mating Season* didn’t just arrive with a wild premise — it arrived with one of the most stacked voice casts in recent adult animation history. From the four series regulars to a sprawling guest list of comedy heavyweights, the show is essentially a forest-set reunion of some of the funniest people working in Hollywood right now.

Here’s your complete guide to who plays who in the *Big Mouth* team’s bold new series.

## Mating Main Cast: Four Animals, Four Messes

These four voices carry every episode and anchor the entire show’s emotional core.

| Voice Actor | Character | Animal | Known For |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Nick Kroll | Ray | Raccoon | Big Mouth, The League, Oh Hello |
| Zach Woods | Josh | Bear | Silicon Valley, The Office, The Other Two |
| June Diane Raphael | Fawn | Deer | Grace and Frankie, Big Mouth |
| Sabrina Jalees | Penelope | Fox | Stand-up, Never Have I Ever |

**Nick Kroll as Ray** — Co-creator Kroll voices the raccoon at the chaotic centre of the show. Ray’s appetite for companionship knows no species boundary, his hedonism partly explained by a traumatic backstory involving a mother who once tried to eat him. Kroll’s fast-talking, slightly unhinged energy is perfectly matched to the character.

**Zach Woods as Josh** — The bear who oversleeps hibernation and wakes up single. Woods brings his signature anxious-intellectual energy to Josh — insecure, deeply romantic, and perpetually unprepared for every situation Ray drags him into. Critics have noted this feels like a natural evolution of the John Mulaney role in *Big Mouth*.

**June Diane Raphael as Fawn** — A deer with an unerring instinct for choosing entirely the wrong partner, including a wolf boyfriend who marks his territory all over her apartment. Raphael, a *Big Mouth* veteran, brings real warmth to what could have been a purely comedic role.

**Sabrina Jalees as Penelope** — A gay fox carrying unresolved feelings for a long-lost love, undermined at every turn by painfully clumsy social skills. Jalees is the show’s emotional wild card and one of its most talked-about performances.

## Behind the Mic: Why the Casting Works

[Voice acting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_acting) in adult animation lives and dies on comedic timing — the ability to land a joke in a single line reading without the support of physical performance. *Mating Season* understands this instinctively. The guest list isn’t random celebrity stunt casting — nearly every name has a proven track record in comedy, many from the *Big Mouth* universe itself.

Critics have specifically praised the voice work across the board as one of the show’s most consistent strengths, even when the writing itself is uneven.
