An impressive lineup of guest voices, including Kieran Culkin, Janelle James, Jinkx Monsoon and Ziwe Fumudoh, joins the Fantasy family in the new 10-episode season debuting July 23.
Set in a mildly apocalyptic near-future inland Florida, the show follows the Fantasy family and their inland Florida funeral home, Tender Endings. The cast of characters includes recently undead Trophy Fantasy (voiced by Maria Bamford); her teenage daughter, Euthanasia "Annie" Fantasy (voiced by Jo Firestone); Annie's Oedipus-complex-stricken Uncle Pete (voiced by Tim Robinson); and Annie's "old country" immigrant grandmother Baba (voiced by Bebe Neuwirth).
In Season 2, Uncle Pete discovers the existence of foreskin and makes friends with a mobster’s limo. Trophy is elected mayor of Fort Gator and finds her calling in sexual education. Annie becomes a teen doctor and continues her quest to be more than a two-hour hang. And Baba fills in for a deceased morning shock jock and goes bear hunting. There’s also a very charismatic goat.
Returning with 10 all-new episodes, the second season of Teenage Euthanasia features an impressive lineup of guest voices, including Ann Dowd (Garden State, The Manchurian Candidate); Chris Redd (Saturday Night Live); H. Jon Benjamin (Archer, Bob’s Burgers); J. Smith Cameron (Succession); Janelle James (Abbott Elementary); Jinkx Monsoon (RuPaul’s Drag Race); Joe Pera (Joe Pera Talks With You); Kieran Culkin (Succession); Lori Tan Chinn (Awkwafina Is Nora from Queens, Orange is the New Black); Sophia Bush (One Tree Hill); Tim Heidecker (Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Office Hours, Killing It); and Ziwe Fumudoh (Ziwe).
Series co-creators Alissa Nutting and Alyson Levy had this to say in perfect unison, “Teenage Euthanasia sees and celebrates the troubled teens, the bimbos, the weirdos, the death-positives, the crybabies, the un-showered, the voluntarily single mommies, and the men who are scared of baseball. We love you.”

The half-hour 2D animated series is produced by PFFR and animated by Atomic Cartoons. Executive producers include creators Nutting and Levy as well as Lisa M. Thomas, Vernon Chatman, and John Lee, with Scott Adsit as co-executive producer and Jo Firestone as producer.
