Sausage Party star Seth Rogen hypes the upcoming TV spinoff Foodtopia following a screening of a scene to Amazon’s PR people. Directed by Conrad Vernon and Greg Tiernan, with Kyle Hunter, Ariel Shaffir, Seth Rogen, and Evan Goldberg writing the script, 2016’s Sausage Party follows an anthropomorphic sausage that lives in a supermarket and goes on a journey once he learns the truth about what happens to groceries after they’re purchased. The comedy was a hit, becoming the highest-grossing R-rated animated movie with $141.3 million until it was surpassed by Demon Slayer: Mugen Train in 2020. In October 2022, Amazon Studios confirmed that a sequel show was in the works.
Speaking with Collider, Rogen gave an update on Sausage Party: Foodtopia. With production on the sequel show underway, the actor and producer mentioned that one scene was specially screened for Amazon’s PR people. Rogen also talks about Kristen Wiig’s hilarious response to the “unbelievably shocking” sequel show after the Emmy nominee came in to record a few lines. Read his quote below:
“There’s one specific scene that had a special screening for the Amazon PR people. You should all just start wrapping your heads around this now. You’ll probably have to talk about this a lot.’ We had Kristen Wiig in picking up a few lines the other day, and I think we’ve all become desensitized to it, because we’ll just be like, ‘Roll the scene!’, and then she was like, ‘Oh my God?! This is insane!’”
What To Know About Foodtopia
Although plot details about the forthcoming project are being kept under wraps, Foodtopia will see Sausage Party’s original voice cast returning. Along with Rogen (Frank) and Wiig (Brenda), the sequel show will feature Michael Cera, David Krumholtz, and Edward Norton reprising their respective roles as Barry, Kareem Abdul Lavash, and Sammy Bagel Jr. Will Forte, Sam Richardson, Natasha Rothwell, and Yassir Lester are set to join the ensemble.
Sausage Party: Foodtopia, which was announced to be in production when the news first broke, will be executive produced by Ariel Shaffir and Kyle Hunter. They’ll also serve as co-showrunners. Rogen, Goldberg, James Weaver, and Alex McAtee also executive produce under their Point Grey Pictures banner. Point Grey, a film and TV production company, is also behind projects such as The Boys, Invincible, and Pam & Tommy.
The sequel show is expected to arrive on Prime Video in 2024, though an exact debut date is unknown. The original Sausage Party was generally well-received, sitting at 82 percent on Rotten Tomatoes with a detailed score breakdown of 6.60 and 6.80 with top critics and all critics, respectively. It remains to be seen if what works as a relatively short movie can have the same enjoyment when it’s cooked up for the longer TV form.

Sounds good. We need more comedies, even if not high brow.
