Sausage Party: Foodtopia Gets New Release Date

The whacky Annapurna hit film Sausage Party is getting a spin-off in the form of an animated series, which will debut on Prime Video this summer.

Sausage Party: Foodtopia premieres in July and follows Frank, Brenda, Barry, and Sammy as they try to build their own food society.

Featuring the voices of original cast members Seth Rogen, Kristen Wiig, Michael Cera, David Krumholtz, and Edward Norton, the gang will be joined by new cast members Will Forte, Sam Richardson, Natasha Rothwell, and Yassir Lester.

Ariel Shaffir and Kyle Hunter, who co-wrote the 2016 film with Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, will serve as executive producers and showrunners on the series with Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver, Alex McAtee, Conrad Vernon, Megan Ellison, Patrick Chu and Andrew Millstein also serving as executive producers.

Conrad Vernon also returns as director, having co-directed the film with Greg Tiernan.

Sausage Party was a box office hit and made waves with critics who gave it a Certified Fresh 82% rating upon release. Audiences weren't as enthusiastic, rating it rotten at 50%, but the film has earned itself a dedicated following of people who sing its praises.

Made on a $19 million budget, Sausage Party went on to land itself a whopping $140.7 million at the box office during its theatrical run in 2016.

The eccentric story follows a sausage, a hot dog bun, a taco and a bagel who learn the tragic truth about what happens to food items when they go home from the supermarket.

Audiences can catch up with Frank, Brenda, Barry, and Sammy from July 11 when the series hits Prime Video.
