Sausage Party: Foodtopia: What We Know About The Sequel TV Series To the R-Rated Animated Movie

Are you ready for Sausage Party round two? Because I am. 

Okay, now that you’re probably done snickering, let’s actually talk about Sausage Party. The R-rated animated flick that released in 2016 was certainly a party for both audiences and critics. The movie itself received mostly positive reviews, and plenty of fans flocked to the theater for its ridiculous and hilarious comedy. 

But now, we’re going to be getting another round of it – in television form. 

That’s right, Sausage Party is coming back with a sequel in the form of Sausage Party: Footopia, a new series that is sure to get some heads turning. Here are five quick things we know about the upcoming show.

What Is The Sausage Party: Foodtopia Premiere Date?

At the time of updating this in December 2023, there is no set release date for Sausage Party: Foodtopia, but we do know it’s supposed to air sometime in 2024. Seth Rogen confirmed it would be released as part of the 2024 TV schedule on a Twitter post in October 2022.

Also confirmed is that the show will arrive on Amazon Prime, as confirmed from a press release from Amazon. It’s not that surprising that the new series is going to debut on Amazon Prime, out of all the streaming platforms. It would never come out on basic cable (for obvious reasons), and would probably have a hard time getting greenlit even on subscription based channels, so a streaming platform is the best bet. 

But, Seth Rogen (who came up with the story, co-wrote, starred, and produced) has also been working with the streamer a lot recently, from his work on the popular TV series, The Boys all the way to the brutal animated series, Invincible, so to see him do another show on the streaming site is great. I hope it’ll end up as one of the best shows on Amazon Prime. 

Several Of The Original Cast Members Will Return

The original cast of Sausage Party was filled to the brim with stars, such as Seth Rogen, Salma Hayek, even Paul Rudd, and it looks like the sequel series is set to bring back several of those names that we might now know about just yet. 

Rogen, Kristen Wiig, Michael Cera, Edward Norton, and David Krumholtz, all from the film, are set to return to the sequel series in their roles. Additionally, Will Forte, Sam Richardson, Natasha Rothwell, and Yassir Lester will be joining the series in undisclosed parts. Rothwell even posted about her excitement on Twitter:

This is already a stellar cast list. Rogen showed his dramatic side again with a role in the 2022 movie, The Fablemans. Kristen Wiig has been in several movies since Sausage Party, including Mother!, Where’d You Go, Bernadette and the Wonder Woman sequel, Wonder Woman 1984. In 2022, Edward Norton was one of the stars of Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, and was in the 2023 Apple TV+ series, Extrapolations, so hearing that they’re all going to be back for this television series is awesome. 

These new cast members are awesome too, such as Natasha Rothwell, who killed it as part of The White Lotus cast in Season 1, and Will Forte has done so many awesome voice roles it’s exciting to see him in another like this. 

Plot Details Are Being "Kept Under Wrappers" But Expect Lots Of Heart And Even More Food Puns

I know, I know, we’re all looking for some sort of hints as to what on earth a Sausage Party sequel could entail, but at the time of updating this in December 2023, the story is being kept under wraps – meaning, we really don’t know what is going to happen just yet in Sausage Party: Foodtopia, except that it’s going to have a lot of puns and plenty of heart. 

In a statement from Rogen and his producing partner, Evan Goldberg, they said that the series is going to be legendary and continue to be just as crazy (but heartfelt) as the first movie was: 

Yeah, that’s right – you’re going to get a lot more of that crazy stuff we saw at the end of the movie. I don’t know whether to be excited or scared – mark me down as both. 

Seth Rogen Teases That Even The Cast Thinks The Show Is “Insane”

Seth Rogen has teased that the show is going to be crazy, and that some cast members have even said that what they are recording is “insane,” specifically Kristen Wiig, according to what Rogen had to say in an interview with Empire in June 2023. Rogen said that they already had special screenings for the Amazon PR team, saying they needed to see in order to “wrap their heads” around the idea of the series:

I really need to know what the story is going to be so badly, it’s killing me. 

The Series Will Have Eight Episodes

Something else that we know about the upcoming series is that Sausage Party: Foodtopia will only have eight episodes. This was confirmed by the series poster from that Twitter post Seth Rogen put up, saying it would be an “eight-course television event.”

Seth Rogen And Evan Goldberg Are Teaming Up Again To Produce

As mentioned before, Goldberg and Rogen are coming back to work on this series, which is awesome to see, as the two of them are actually childhood friends and have collaborated on so many projects together. Some big ones obviously include Sausage Party, The Interview, the legendary comedy film, Pineapple Express, and one of my personal favorites, This Is The End. 

More recently, the two worked on The Boys, a truly outrageous superhero show based on the comics of the same name, and just as twisted as you can expect. There’s even an episode titled “Hero-gasm” – so you know what you’re getting yourself into with these two. 

Sausage Party: Foodtopia already sounds like it’s going to be a fun time, and while it is more than a year away, we’ll keep you updated with any information we do find out. For now, check out the original movie (as long as you don’t have kids near you) on Netflix.
