Tuca & Bertie’s Nicole Byer Wants More Stripper Plants in Season 3

Tuca & Bertie’s second season—on Adult Swim—has launched an entire new slew of plant individuals into its world of anthropomorphic animals. If collection creator Lisa Hanawalt and star Nicole Byer get their approach, we’re going to be seeing fairly a bit extra of them.

At digital San Diego Comic-Con 2021, Hanawalt, Byer, and Tuca & Bertie govt producer Raphael Bob-Waksberg all sat down to debate making the present’s second season and the way plant characters, specifically, got here to characteristic so largely within the story. The animated collection just lately introduced its titular feathered duo to the plant person-filled city of Planteau the place they each realized there have been cracks of their friendship that needing some quick dressing. But earlier than Tuca and Bertie had an opportunity to have a coronary heart to coronary heart, the duo and the remainder of the bachelorette occasion they have been with first took in an evening in town that included numerous pictures and a short go to to a strip membership the place a bunch of greased up tomatoes in leaf g-strings took to the stage.

The strippers, Bob-Waksberg stated, have been a few of his favourite characters to put in writing regardless of their solely showing briefly in “Planteau” earlier than considered one of them will get a bit bitten out of them, and Tuca and Bertie go away the membership. “I pitched so many jokes about them, and Lisa went ‘No, no,’” Bob-Waksberg stated. “But there was more like, what if we came back for another scene later where we follow them back to their homes, and they’re talking to their wives?”

Hanawalt defined how different characters—just like the plant youngsters who reside in Tuca and Bertie’s neighborhood—ended up coming again way over different supporting characters as a result of she likes them, although most of them don’t actually have names or fleshed out identities. This, she stated, led to some manufacturing points. “Number One is Martha, but the problem was that we kept confusing them, and so, we’d watch the animatic, and it’s like ‘No, you gave Plant Teen Two’s voice to Plant Teen One,” Hanawalt stated. “‘That’s the cactus’ voice.’ Two of them don’t have names yet; maybe we’ll find out later.”

While Byer and Hanawalt couldn’t agree on what Plant Teen Two’s (one of many characters Byer voices) title needs to be, they have been each keen about Byer voicing one other plant stripper as a part of a narrative to carry the tomatoes again ought to there be a season three. “Yeah, I want to be a cucumber stripper,” Byer stated matter of factly. “I come in, I take over, the Tomato Strippers are mad, they’re like, ‘What, this Cucumber’s moving in?’ A long cucumber, with legs, and arms, and titties, and I’m wearing like a little bikini, and then I got a little ponytail coming out at the top.”

Tuca & Bertie’s second season is now airing on Sundays on Adult Swim.
