Acclaimed, award-winning series will split upcoming final season into two separate releases starting this coming October.
Netflix will end it's run of the hit animated series, 'BoJack Horseman,' after its upcoming Season 6 release.
Season 6 of Netflix’s hit animated comedy, BoJack HorseMan, will be its last; the streaming giant has just revealed that the highly acclaimed, award-winning series from creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg will end its run with the upcoming new season.
The final season of the show, which centers on a washed-up, narcissistic 1990s sitcom star, voiced by Will Arnett, who careens from one self-centered mishap after another, will be released in two parts: the first will hit October 25, the second, January 31, 2020.
Season 5, which launched almost a year ago, was to many observers the strongest yet. It included the tour-de-force Emmy-nominated episode, “Free Churro,” which featured a not exactly grieving BoJack eulogizing a not exactly loving mother.
Bob-Waksberg’s newest series, Undone, an animated drama co-created with BoJack writer Kate Purdy, just debuted on Amazon Prime to stellar reviews. In a highly criticized move this past July, Netflix pulled the plug on Tuca & Bertie, an adult animated comedy series created by BoJack Horseman production designer Lisa Hanawat and executive produced by Bob-Waksberg, after a single 10-episode season. Cancelation of the series, which features the voices of Ali Wong and Tiffany Haddish, continues to be a sore subject to many in the animation community. This new BoJack announcement also comes on the heels of a three-season renewal for the hugely popular Netflix adult animated comedy, Big Mouth.
