A still from “BoJack Horseman”
Raphael Bob-Waksberg, the acclaimed creator of the Netflix adult animated series BoJack Horseman, is coming back soon with another animated comedy titled Long story short.
Bob-Waksberg will write the script, direct the show and serve as executive producer Long story short, whose market launch is planned for 2025.
The logline of the series is: “Long story short is an animated comedy about a family across time. It’s about the history they share, the inside jokes, the old wounds. If you’ve ever had a mother, father, sibling, partner or child, this show is for you – and by the way, would it kill you to call them?”
Bob-Waksberg told Netflix in a press release, “It’s really exciting and an honor to be back doing what I love most: writing glowing quotes for press releases to Hollywood trade publications. Who says you can’t go home again?!”
BoJack Horseman ran for six seasons before ending in 2020 and made history as Netflix’s first original animated series when it debuted on August 22, 2014. The black comedy about an anthropomorphic horse trying to revive his failed sitcom career was hailed as one of the best shows of all time and paved the way for more adult Netflix animated series, such as Big Mouth, ArcaneAnd Blue-eyed samurai.
According to Netflix Long story short will reunite the original BoJack Team; Lisa Hanawalt (BoJack Horseman, Tuca & Bertie) is executive producer and will provide original illustrations, Noel Bright and Steven A. Cohen (BoJack Horseman, Tuca & Bertie, Undone) will executive produce for Tornante Television, ShadowMachine (BoJack Horseman, Tuca & Bertie, Pinocchio) will produce from their LA animation studio, and Corey Campodonico and Alex Bulkley will serve as co-executive producers.
