Grown-up problems require professional solutions from highly professional creatures — unfortunately, humanity is stuck with the Hormone Monsters, Lovebugs and Logic Rocks of Human Resources. Netflix has dropped a new official trailer for the Big Mouth spin-off series today and revealed a stellar guest star roster ahead of the show’s March 18 release.

Synopsis: From the inventive minds that brought us the award winning adult animation favorite Big Mouth comes the even edgier and adult-ier Human Resources. The spin-off pulls back the curtain on the daily lives of the creatures – Hormone Monsters, Depression Kitties, Shame Wizards and many more – that help humans journey through every aspect of life from puberty to parenthood to the twilight years. It quickly becomes clear that though the protagonists are creatures, they have a lot of humanity themselves.
The 10 x 30′ series is co-created and executive produced by Kelly Galuska, Nick Kroll, Andrew Goldberg, Jennifer Flackett and Mark Levin.
