Sausage Party: Foodtopia: Premiere Date, Cast, And Other Things 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 Release Date?

At the time of this update in May 2024, Sausage Party: Foodtopia will release on July 11, 2024. Prime Video confirmed the news, and now it will be a part of our 2024 TV schedule. 

As mentioned above, Sausage Party: Foodtopia will debut on Amazon Prime, and Prime also confirmed that all of the episodes will drop at once. It’s not that surprising that the new series is going to debut there, 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 movie’s 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.  

Check Out The Teaser Poster For Sausage Party: Foodtopia

Look, is there a teaser trailer yet for Sausage Party: Foodtopia? No, but what is confirmed is that poster, and it would be a sin for me not to include it in this guide. It features the main characters looking up at a, ah, suspicious hole, saying that you can check out the “hole” season. Yeah, I’m already laughing 

The Sausage Party: Foodtopia Cast

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 – as well as some other new stars, too. Here is who you can expect to see that’s been confirmed by Amazon: 

Seth Rogen as Frank

Seth Rogen will return as Frank, the main hotdog from Sausage Party. Rogen has appeared in plenty of movies, like Superbad, Neighbors, This is the End and more. He even showed his dramatic side again with a role in the 2022 movie, The Fablemans. But, it’s nice to see him embrace comedy like this again because that truly is where he shines. 

Kristen Wiig as Brenda Bunson

Kristen Wiig will return as Brenda Bunson, a hot dog bun. 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 2024, she starred in the Apple TV+ series, Palm Royale. 

Michael Cera as Barry

Michael Cera will be back as Barry, the hot dog whose head is a little bent in a strange way. Cera has appeared in movies like Gloria Bell, The Adults, How to Be a Latin Lover, and more, and was also a part of the Barbie cast in 2023. 

David Krumholtz as Kareem Abdul Lavash

David Krumholtz will be back to voice Kareem Abdul Lavash, a flat bread. Krumholtz has appeared in movies like the Santa Clause franchise, 10 Things I Hate About You, Oppenheimer, Crown Vic, A Futile and Stupid Gesture and many more. 

Edward Norton as Sammy Bagel Jr.

Edward Norton will return as Sammy Bagel Jr. in Foodtopia. In 2022, he was one of the stars of Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, and was in the 2023 Apple TV+ series, Extrapolations. He also appeared in the 2023 Wes Anderson film, Asteroid City. 

Will Forte

Will Forte is confirmed for the cast. The actor has done so many awesome voice roles it’s exciting to see him in another like this. Some of his most known voice roles include The Lego Movie and its sequel, America: The Motion Picture, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and others.

Natasha Rothwell

Natasha Rothwell is confirmed for Sausage Party: Foodtopia. Rothwell even posted about her excitement on Twitter:

She killed it as part of The White Lotus cast in Season 1, but has also appeared in shows like Insecure, BoJack Horseman, Love, Victor and more. 

Sam Richardson

Sam Richardson is confirmed, as well. He’s mainly known for his role as Richard Splett on Veep, but has appeared in other shows like Detroiters, The Afterparty, Velma, Ted Lasso and more. 

Yassir Lester

Last but not least, we have Yassir Lester. The actor and comedian has written for The Carmichael Show, and appeared in acting roles for series like Girls, Champions, Making History, and more. 

This is already a stellar cast list and I am so excited to see what happens. 

Plot Details Are Sparse, But Expect Lots Of Heart And Even More Food Puns

The only thing we really do know about the plot of Sausage Party: Foodtopia is from Amazon Prime, which confirmed the sequel will follow Frank, Brenda, Barry and Sammy as they try to create “their own food society,” whatever the heck that means.  While that’s not that much information, we can expect 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, when the show was first announced, 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.
