But just because the “Big Mouth” team already knew Edebiri did not mean she did not have to audition. Since Edebiri joined the “Big Mouth” writers’ room first, she already understood the sensibility of both the character and the overall tone of the story before being cast. The voice I found is also because of the work Jenny did, too.” “The transition is a nice farewell to Jenny in that moment, too, in a way,” adds Edebiri, noting that she wanted to pay “homage” to the previous performance “while also bringing something new. Once they found that moment, it was about making sure the transition “wouldn’t be a startling change for viewers of the show,” he explains. There’s the sidelines Missy and the more sexually adventurous Missy, mirror Missy, and then also this Missy that she’s been discovering through hanging out with her cousins and really taking a look at her Black identity,” co-creator Nick Kroll says of the moment. “It’s about Missy’s continued evolution as a person - that she has all of these different parts of who she is. Goldberg credits co-creator Jennifer Flackett for finding a moment in the season’s penultimate episode that felt like “a really organic and cool place” to bring Edebiri in sooner than originally planned. “That’s not a way for her to make it her own.” With production lead time on animation, the team didn’t think they could replace the whole season of Missy’s dialogue - nor did they want “Ayo to have to start her journey with this part by matching what Jenny did already,” he continues. “By the time we made the decision to cast Ayo, we had finished all of Season 4 and delivered it to Netflix,” he shares. Originally, co-creator Andrew Goldberg tells Variety, Slate was going to voice Missy throughout the entire fourth season. But she admits “because I had the experience of being in the room and knowing the story, I think that helped with the comfort level” when stepping into the recording booth, especially on such an accelerated timeline. “As a writer my goal is never to figure out, ‘Oh let’s get myself a part on this show.’ When I’m writing, I’m serving my boss’ vision and I want to be helpful in whatever ways I can be and lend my ideas and my jokes and whatever else they need to that,” Edebiri says.
