Remember the controversial Sausage Party film?

It raised eyebrows when it was released, and it has now been revealed that a sequel series is coming.

The film was released in 2016, and now Prime TV has confirmed there will be a follow-up series called Sausage Party: Foodtopia.

Repeating their iconic roles will be Seth Rogen, Kristen Wiig, Michael Cera, David Krumholtz and Edward Norton.

Added to the cast is Will Forte, Sam Richardson, Natasha Rothwell and Yassir Lester.

Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg will be executive producers.

They told The Hollywood Reporter: "Film used to be the superior art form to television, and we humbly reached the pinnacle of what can be achieved with film in our remarkable opus, Sausage Party," they said in a joint statement.

"But now that film is completely dead and TV is the forever-king of entertainment, we’ve decided to continue the epic adventures of our culinary crew in the soon-to-be-legendary televised masterpiece Sausage Party: Foodtopia."

"It’s got all the heart, double the puns and triple the food-on-food sex. In other words, it’s exactly what the world needs right now."

So basically, the second serving of Sausage Party sounds as wild as you'd hope it to be.

Vernon Sanders is the head of global television at Amazon Studios.

He said: "The original Sausage Party was an incredibly hilarious, outrageous, one-of-a-kind entry into the world of animation," according to Collider.

"We are thrilled to collaborate again with Seth, Evan and their team at Point Grey, as well as our partners at Annapurna Television and Sony Pictures Television, to offer a new look into this world that will be brought to life so vividly for our global Prime Video customers."

James Franco, Salma Hayek, Jonah Hill, Danny McBride and Paul Rudd are missing from the line-up but that might change.

It's expected to arrive in 2024.
