A series-based spin-off from the 2016 hit animated feature,Sausage Partyhasbeen in the works since late 2022, teasing audiences about the return of more raucous comedy, but this time in episodic form. Now, we finally have answers about when we can expect Frank, Brenda, and the rest of the anthropomorphic foods to ditch the big screen and come on over to Prime Video, as the streamer announced thatSausage Party: Foodtopiawill celebrate its premiere on July 11 with all eight episodes available at once for the binge lovers among us. Along with the grand debut reveal, the first image for the series has also been unwrapped, proving that the creative team certainly wasn’t at a loss for fresh food-centric double entendres.
In the poster, Frank (Seth Rogen), Brenda Bunson (Kristen Wiig), Barry (Michael Cera), and Sammy (Edward Norton) are doing their best to prevent some very much unwanted contact with the wrong side of an orange. The animation looks perfectly on point as the charactersshare their terrified panicand the poster’s logline “watch the hole season” points to the raucous comedy that awaits audiences on July 11.
Along with Rogen, Wiig, Norton, and Cera,David Krumholtz(Lousy Carter) also returns to the cast to reprise his voice role as Kareem Abdul Lavash with newcomers includingWill Forte(The Last Man on Earth),Sam Richardson(Ted Lasso),Natasha Rothwell(The White Lotus), andYassir Lester(Black Monday) joining the cast in undisclosed roles. The series will pick up following the events of the film, during which the gang of grocery store foods discover the fate that would befall them when they were finally taken home by a human. While the film ends on a meta tone,Sausage Party: Foodtopiaseems to negate the big discovery and instead follows the group as they strike out to make a utopian society.
