Amazon Prime Video spin-off "Sausage Party: Foodtopia" is an eight-part animated series featuring the same voice cast as the original film, including Seth Rogen, Kristen Wiig, Michael Cera, and Edward Norton.
It continues the story of the anthropomorphic food characters as they attempt to build their own food society, Foodtopia, after a flood destroys their promised land.
The series features explicit language, graphic content like food orgies, and political commentary critiquing political parties. Critics noted it relies heavily on disconnected references, puns, and surface-level humor, lacking cohesion and depth.
To promote the series, Gopuff and Prime Video offered the Sausage Satchel, a waist pouch for carrying hot dogs and condiments, featuring characters from the series.
While retaining the over-the-top food death scenes, abundant sex jokes, and creative chaos of the original movie, "Foodtopia" introduces new characters and storylines, including an interspecies romance twist. It maintains the sense of danger and creativity of the original film. It features songs about food, inventive wordplay, puns, food-related jokes, and celebrity cameos.
While addressing issues like food existence, economics, wage inequality, and corrupt politics, it is not heavy-handed.
