Production
Seth Rogen had talked about wanting to do a follow-up to Sausage Party and create more adult-oriented animated projects. Amazon officially ordered a sequel series on October 26, 2022, from Point Grey Pictures, Annapurna Television, and Sony Pictures Television. Writers Kyle Hunter and Ariel Shaffir returned to develop and executive produce through their company Shaffirwhich. Several original cast members, including Rogen, reprised their roles, while newcomers like Will Forte, Natasha Rothwell, Sam Richardson, and Yassir Lester joined. The animation, previously done by Nitrogen Studios for the film, was instead handled by Bardel Entertainment and Stellar Creative Lab. Co-producer and co-director Conrad Vernon came back as supervising director.
Reception
On Rotten Tomatoes, critics gave the series a 48% score from 25 reviews, averaging 5.7 out of 10. Their consensus called it a messy follow-up with plenty of crude jokes for Seth Rogen fans, but ultimately stale. Metacritic calculated a weighted score of 54 out of 100 from 16 critics, placing it in the "mixed or average" category.
