Raphael Bob-Waksberg and his team are back with a new adult animated series, 10 years after the launch of their multi-award-winning animated hit comedy about an anthropomorphic horse.
Netflix has announced a deal with BoJack Horseman creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg to bring more of his animated brilliance to the streamer. He returns, along with the creative team behind his multi-award-winning animated comedy about an anthropomorphic horse, with an all-new adult animated series, Long Story Short, debuting in 2025.
Bob-Waksberg returns as writer, showrunner, and executive produce alongside Michael Eisner’s The Tornante Company, and ShadowMachine.
"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,” said Bob-Waksberg. “Who says you can't go home again?!”

Long Story Short follows the story of a family, over time. 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, which reminds us, “by the way, would it kill you to call them?”
Bob-Waksberg’s return to Netflix marks 10 years from the launch of his seminal animated hit comedy, BoJack Horseman, which premiered on August 22, 2014. Noel Bright and Steven A. Cohen (BoJack Horseman, Tuca & Bertie, Undone) executive produce for Tornante Television. Lisa Hanawalt (BoJack Horseman, Tuca & Bertie) is supervising producer and will design the original art for the series.
ShadowMachine (BoJack Horseman, Tuca & Bertie, Pinocchio), is producing out of its L.A. animation studio. Corey Campodonico and Alex Bulkley serve as co-executive producers.
