Netflix, ‘BoJack Horseman’ Team on New Animated Comedy

BoJack Horseman creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg has settled on his follow-up.

Long Story Short, as the new project is titled, is being billed as an adult animated comedy about a family, over time. As its formal logline reads: “It’s about the shared history, the inside jokes, the old wounds. If you’ve ever had a mother, father, sibling, partner, or child, this is the show for you and by the way would it kill you to call them?”

Bob-Waksberg will write, showrun and executive produce the series, which, like BoJack, hails from The Tornante Company. It will make its debut on Netflix in 2025. “It is legitimately a thrill and an honor to be back doing what I love most: drafting enthusiastic pull quotes for press releases to Hollywood trade publications. Who says you can’t go home again?!” joked Bob-Waksberg.

Tornante’s Noel Bright and Steven A. Cohen (BoJack, Tuca & Bertie) will executive produce, too, while Lisa Hanawalt (also of BoJack and Tuca & Bertie) serves as a supervising producer and will design the original art for the series. The team will once again collaborate with ShadowMachine, which will produce the project out of its LA animation studio. Corey Campodonico and Alex Bulkley will serve as co-EPs.

The news comes exactly 10 years to the day after BoJack premiered. At that time, it was Netflix’s first ever adult animated original series, and quickly garnered accolades and critical praise. Set largely in Hollywood, it revolved around the anthropomorphic horse, BoJack Horseman (Will Arnett), a washed-up 1990s sitcom star eager to return to relevancy. Like the new effort, BoJack was a Tornante TV production, and, over six seasons, featured a voice cast that included Arnett, Aaron Paul, Paul F. Tompkins, Amy Sedaris and Alison Brie.
