BoJack Horseman Creator Releases New Netflix Animated Series

Raphael Bob-Waksberg, creator of BoJack Horseman, has launched a new adult animated series titled Long Story Short, which follows the Schwooper siblings, a Jewish family navigating life over several decades with a non-linear storytelling approach. The show explores themes of family dynamics, Jewish identity, and personal growth through a blend of drama and comedy, utilizing animation to depict unique elements such as a literal wolf invasion at school. Featuring a notable voice cast including Paul Reiser, Ben Feldman, Abbi Jacobson, and Max Greenfield, Long Story Short has been praised for its fresh narrative style and emotional depth, earning a renewal for a second season even before its initial release on Netflix in August 2025. Additionally, the series includes a post-episode disclaimer, "This Programme Was Made By Humans," highlighting concerns about AI's impact on the entertainment industry and emphasizing the show's human creative origins. Long Story Short is positioned as a significant new entry in adult animation, continuing Netflix's investment in innovative animated storytelling following BoJack Horseman's influence.
